Learning English as a Second Language
Tuesday, 23. September 2008, 03:07:38
Many people here speak English as a second language and know learning a language is not an easy and fast process. English has a simple grammar compared to other languages such as German which has many declination cases or the neo-latin languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian) which have many conjugations. But it also depends on your mother tongue, for Japanese, Chinese or those languages natives who have learned a different alphabet and a very specific grammar in their first language have more difficulties to learn English than Swedish natives whose language has many points in common with English. Nevertheless, the tactics and activities used by learners are the same, as using songs to improve the listening and memorizing the vocabulary, or repeating grammar exercises and so on. Therefore, I would like you to tell me how were your biggest difficulties in learning English and what those problems have to do with your mother tongue.
