Do you think learning languages benefit you in any way?
languagelaura123 replied to mareebaybay's topic in Language Learning
Yes, of course. Learning languages is sometimes very hard, especially in the beginning. I learned french and english in school and I'm glad that I chose it. Now, after some years out ouf highschool I really enjoy travelling in different countries and speaking with native speakers. Learning another languages makes you feel a lot more self confident and forces you to study a lot. For me it's really fun to learn a language in a group with other motivated students. I try to visit language schools regulary to improve my skills and to meet other people from different countries. I've been in England, France some years ago and visited South Africa last year. Learning languages is definitly so important. Try to meet locals and go to language school. I can only recommend to do so. I think that my last school in Cape Town offer a lot of special courses depending on what you are looking for. Just visit http://www.ailolacapetown.com/en/english-school to know what I did last year. It really helped me to improve my skills, staying in a host-family and joining activities was really a lot of fun and important for me. -
What do you use for learning languages?

Hi Filipe, I learned English in Highschool with old traditional books and non-native teachers. My level was not as good as I wanted and after school I really wanted to improve my skills. A friend recommended a vocabulary trainer online and learning during my university career was more or less successfull. After uni, I went some month abroad to travel and to learn English. I visited a language school in Cape Town and this was finally the best way for me. I lived in a host familiy and was "forced" to speak English the whole day. Cape Town is probably one of the most beautiful cities ever and learning there is a lot of fun. Especially the native teachers and the atmosphere at the school were really good. We did a lot of activities in our free time and I found a lot of local and international friends. My language school was Ailola Cape Town, a small and very private school directly at the sea. I can only recommend to visit them, they offer a lot of special courses. http://www.ailolacapetown.com/ I think there are multiple ways of learning a language. For me, the most effective way was to go directly to a native country. You get to know cultures and international contacts and my level improved a lot. I try to repeat regulary what I did in my language school and to read books, magazines and english newspaper
