I agree with most sub in this article. By far the best way to learn a foreign language is communing with him on a daily basis. Trip to the country where the language that we learn is a native language of course will be the best solution, but not everyone has possibility to drop everything and go abroad to grind language. The authors of the text are also right by saying that the Romance languages are very similar. However, not everyone has a friend from abroad speaking the language of which currently we learn, I think a good solution is internet, where in easy way we find plenty of language courses. Do not forget about the good old books and course books which contain a lot of knowledge.
ReplyDeleteGenerally I agree with the article. For me, the best method to learn the language is obviously - to use it. The more you use the language, the better you are at doing so. With english language it's very easy to find use of it, it's actually hard to find how you can NOT use it. With other languages it depends. In fact, in my case I spend much time with native english speakers, mostly from USA. I feel very comfortable speaking english, which is not the case with everyone. If I was about to suggest some ways of learning/improving languages, I'd mostly suggest finding use of it, and meeting people that can correct our little mistakes when we ask them for. Of course, best method is always to go abroad, as you're somehow "forced" to use the language, which is the only possible way for some people to find a reason for learning the language.
ReplyDeleteI've found something similar before (but in polish)

I tried to learn that way and it's realy working. I've got person (not native speaker) with whom I'm speaking english almost every day, because we agree that we won't be speaking in polish on skype never again.
I always watched movies in english because translation isn't good in every case. That's why I understand almost everything in this language. But I've never could say anything, because I didn't want to make mistake. It's common problem, I think.
If we will learn in the presented way, we can eliminate that problem.
Best way to learn a language? Go abroad to the country, where this language is used as primary. If you are forced to use a language that you don't know, you will learn it very fast. When I was 7 years old I had to live in Germany, during 3 months I learned German well enough to be able to communicate fluently with other people (I knew only 3-4 words when I arrived).
ReplyDeleteIf there is no opportunity to live in foreign country, then the other way to learn a language is to watch films, listen to music and read articles written in that language or try to find people in internet that want to speak with us in foreign language, that we are currently learning.
I think it is very important to have daily contact with the new foreign language. We should prepare an appropriate environment for learning. I mean such things as watching TV or reading the news in a foreign language. It is also good to change the default language on phone, computer or other electronic device.
ReplyDeleteAnother important issue is the ability to speak. Ideally if we have someone with whom we can regularly converse. Of course, the best way to learn is a trip to country where the language is spoken.
1. I think a trip to the country where the language that we learn is a native language of course will be the best solution.
ReplyDelete2. A good solution is internet, where in easy way we find plenty of language courses.
3. I think a good solution is also:
watching TV and reading books in another language, listening to audiobooks. being among people who speaks in another language.
I think the best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it - moving to another country is the obvious solution, but if you choose to stay at home, still there are ways of boosting the learning process. Personally, I found that watching movies, YouTube videos and listening to music in another language can be very helpful.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a matter of one's approach to the subject. Some people are satisfied just with comunicating properly, others - like me - are interested in technicalities as well. That's why I think learning grammar, pronounciation and orthography is as much important; and not tedious at all.
I think spending time with native speaker(in their country or your) is the best way to learn new language. Another thing that can help you faster learn is reading their newspapers(for example in internet), beacuse if you don't understand some words you can check in language dictionary and in that way you learn. What more you can start watching their TV in internet.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the best way to learn new language is spend a lot of time in another country and talk withe people. If you find job there you will meet another employees, your boss and you will have to speak with them in their language so you will learn this really fast. Of course there are many ways to learn foreign language, but in my opinion that way is the fastest.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the best way to learn other language , is watching movies , listening music , reading articles, and when we don't know meaning of word ,we should search it and write this in notebook. Of course , the second way to learn it fast ,is go abroad ,there we can learn, not only new words , but also the correct way of speaking with accent
ReplyDeleteFor me the best way to learn languages is by watching movies or some tv shows in a language we want to learn. Thats how I'm learning Japanese now at least. I found a great and funny tv show which has a lot of episoedes and english subtitles. Other way to learn other languages can be reading some books or newspapers but in my case it is impossible for the beginners because of a different alphabet.

ReplyDeleteI think the best way to learn is daily contact with a foreign language. Reading, listening, speaking are essential to be a master of language. An interesting way to learn foreign words are cards. On one side we have word in foreign language and sentence with this word. On the other side we have the translation. I used this method many times. On the web we can find so much free courses, interactive games, brain teasers, that help improve grammar skills.
ReplyDeleteGood article, I agree with other students that activities like: watching movies and videos from youtube, reading books and newspapers, listening to music, playing video games are among the best ways to learn language. If you want to learn how to speak, I recommend to talk via skype with native speaker of language you are learning.
ReplyDeleteVery good article. I think we should learn language from people who are talking in native language. The best way which I used is talking with people. For example good learning is conversation on Skype and any good web-communication. I think it is also good lessons to learning any languages is reading books and watching movies.
ReplyDeleteAs I don't like routine in learning, I like to include various activities in my educational plan. I learn foreign languages by watching TV series and playing games. But I also speak English with my girlfriend and solve a lot of grammar tasks. Learning foreign languages is a very peculiar activity as everybody resorts to different strategies to acquire them.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that many times I tried to improve my English, but it is always a big hassle for me. No matter how long I studied, there always appear the same problem - after a few days I forgot everything, and it makes me very upset. Once a year, I went abroad and I've had to talk to people in English, I noticed a big change - I could speak fluently and even if I made a mistake, I corrected it quickly. I saw that it's much easier to learn if it is part of your life, because nothing is forgotten. and indeed it was! So I decided that even if I work on the computer, all programs will be in the English version. I did the same with my mobile phone and navigation. Believe it or not, but it works Emotikon smile

ReplyDeleteAs for me the easiest way to learn foreign language is to start from watching TV shows at first with subtitles, then find series in that language. Of course after some training it would be good to try my new skills by traveling to country where that language is spoken, preferably for some longer period than just holidays. I'd love to go to Japan, work for one of IT leaders e.g. Sony and spend there at least 2 years to learn language as well as culture, with all dialects, slang etc.
