Hello everyone, I am new to this board, maybe I can use this opportunity to introduce myself. I am Maarten, 24 years of age and I live in The Netherlands. Actually I speak Dutch fluently, but my girlfriend doesn't. She lives in Macedonia, and is eager to learn Dutch. We communicate with eachother in English, and she speaks French and German as well. Now Dutch is, (to put it very broad) a mix of English and German grammar, with some French vocabulary, so you can imagine Dutch isn't the hardest language for her to learn. But what should I look out for when teaching her Dutch? I notice myself that I struggle explain certain sentences, since you can translate a sentence in a literal and a figurative way. For example: "Ik loop vandaag naar school" means "I am walking to school today.". While in Dutch, it literally says" "I walk today to school", which is incorrect in English,m but correct in Dutch. How do you explain the difference in sentence structure? I am struggling to find a coherent explanation for it, maybe because it is second nature for me. Also, I am eager to learn different methods for me to practice with my girlfriend, to make it more enjoyable and exciting for the both of us. Note, we do call and videocall, but we cant see eachother in person, which sometimes is a bit of a struggle. I am looking forward to your responses. Greetings, Maarten

In a vast yet diversified country like India where dialect and languages vary for every couple of hundred kilometres, English and Hindi remain among the most widely spoken, understood and recognized languages. Along these two languages, English generally connects a lot of people who hail from areas where spoken local languages are completely different from each other i.e. Tamil and Marathi. In such cases, English acts the bridge between the individuals and enables them incommunicating with each other easily.

I would be happy to get some opinions and preferences from you! Here is the link to my Survey, it will take you round about 5 minutes. https://www.umfrageonline.com/s/895730d Thank you very much in advance! M4tze

I used to be a language tutor and the most difficult thing for me was teaching children. I wonder what are the best methods to deal with 7 to 10 year-olds? For me, the biggest challenge was that it's their parents who made the decision. The children themselves are often not interested in a foreign language, they are already overloaded with school programme and all they want to do is play lego or go for a walk with friends. And I entirely sympathise with that but what can I do? I was hired to teach them, not to play with them. I tried my best to introduce some games and fun elements into the lessons but I couldn't completely overlook grammar exercises and other "boring" bits. Is there something that really works when you try to teach children?
