I do live in Florida though and we're like the 45th best school system

so I usually only have 2 1/2 hours of homework per day :embarrassed:

im sure sara can explain it better but to me its European level classes in America...:lol:

I think it makes me more open minded to the world and it makes me cross some borders

 

I agree. I wouldn't be talking to any of you if it weren't for the many years spent learning another language. It has given me the possibility of knowing more things, reading more books from the original source, having access to more information. It makes me see the world from a different perspective. Since English has become a sort of "lingua franca" , I think native English speakers perceive the learning of another language in a different way that other people. At least that is what I've concluded after many years of studying and reading about the topic.

Learning another language does interfere a bit with your mother tongue and it makes you mix up words from different languages :laugh3::laugh3: In fact, I got rather silly mistakes in my last Spanish essays at university because of the interference of the English language.

 

It got even worse when I tried to learn French :laugh3:

Oh, okay!

Oh, okay!

 

im sorry im just very bad at explaining!:lol:

:kiss:

This almost seems like the thread that perfectly correlates with my ELL discussions in my SED 370 class. :cheesy:

im sorry im just very bad at explaining!:lol:

:kiss:

 

It wasn't bad! :P

 

You've never heard me trying to explain things to my little cousins. :sick: :bigcry: :P

we have mandatory english classes from kindergarten to highschool. effect: i find it easier to understand most things (essays, books, etc.) in english than our own language. :sick:

 

but then again, teachers say that our language ,by definition, is a mixture of local dialects and ENGLISH. :thinking: i don't really know anymore. it's confusing. :(

I like this thread, I for one has started to learn 2 new languages one I speak quite or understand quite well these days, the other not so much.

However it has enabled me to understand another culture, and also understand people that struggle to speak my own native language.

 

One of the best thing I have ever done with my life.

I think one of the things I hate most about the United States is that we're not forced to learn foreign languages until like, high school (for the most part, anyway). I feel like we are so ignorant in that aspect compared to the rest of the world. :shame:

It opens our eyes to a different kind of language, and with different language comes a different kind of complexity to it? /lame

BS successfully finished at about 2:00 in the morning for those interested. Thanks for input errone.
