Speaking a foreign language in your own accent: Right or Wrong?
jeremy2 replied to lushlala's topic in Language Learning
Although it may take a while to master, developing an accent may take a while but it makes perfect sense to develop it. Speaking in an accent makes it easier for the person being spoken to to understand what you're trying to get across. So i believe it's best to fake it until you make it! -
Do you think the language levels might pull some people back?
jeremy2 replied to elles-belles's topic in Language Learning
I think for any serious learner, the levels one has to progress to are a very important element in the course of sturdy. One is able to gauge his progress and make efforts to advance to the next level. So the levels act as a motivator to work harder to progress to the next stage stage. -
The importance of a teacher can never be overemphasized.Without him/her,learning would be impossible to say the least. This is especially so when it comes to foreign languages where it's essential to learn the basics from a qualified tutor who should be present to guide you.

When did you start to learn a second language?
jeremy2 replied to cbintz's topic in Language Learning
Foreign languages were not compulsory in my elementary school and i only got to learn a bit of German while in college. I made it my duty to learn as much as i could possibly can and by the time i was through with college, my German was above average. -
I think all languages are valuable depending on the circumstances beforehand.If you're seeking a job in a foreign country,it would be imperative for you to learn that county's language to increase your chances of being hired.

How do you correct someone's pronunciation politely?
jeremy2 replied to g2narat's topic in Language Teaching
I assume you have your friend's best interest's at heart so the best approach would be to be open with him.Sit him down and let him know that you admire his enthusiasm but he has to correct his mistakes if he really wants to be perfect.Don't be judgmental as you will only succeed in making him prone to more mistakes.
