Essay: The benefits of learning language in the country where it is spoken Mon May 12, 2008 21:25 pm  Essay: The benefits of learning language in the country where it is spoken
 

I chose topic for my eassy which I have to submit On may 28

My topic is The benefits of learning language in the country where it is spoken"

I brainstormed my ideas.Or can you give me some ideas which is my strong ideas or can you give your ideas to help me to begin this eassy.

My ideas.

1)non-native speakers forced himself to spaek in the target langugae because in the country where it is spoken that target langugae are being used as frist language.
so it helps them to speak and prectice more in their target language.
2)How does culture infulence the use of language in the country.?Because in my country we don't usually use please,thank you,sorry such as polite language to communicate unllike canadian people or american people.So the language where it is spoken helps them to use it proplerly and interpert others.

What do you think about?

Is there any ideas anybody can include?

Thanks

Another reason it's advantageous to learn a language in the country where it's spoken is that you are exposed to the language almost all the time, in different forms that would never be covered in a textbook or class. You learn this language both when you're paying attention, and when you're not. Frequently you find you have a command of phrases and structures that have sneaked into your mind while you were paying attention to other things.

When you learn the language in the country where it's spoken, you also pick up a range of expression you wouldn't learn in a class. You learn what language to use when playing with children, for example. When you arrive in the country, you quickly find yourself needing vocabulary for things that your books didn't teach about. For example, you may suddenly find out you don't know how to talk about anything you see in the sky, or the configuration of the seats in a car, or various emotions beyond the basic ones. Books, and even the Internet, cannot simulate real life, so you have to go somewhere and experience real life.

It's sad, though, that many people live immersed in a country's language but never learn it. I know a man who spent 20 years in Oman but never learned Arabic, and a man who was in Japan for almost 30 years but is illiterate in Japanese. Similarly, I meet people in my country who have been here for 30 years and can't hold a simple conversation in English. So just being in the country isn't enough. You still need motivation.

Did you work in a dairy, or did you mean to write "daily"?

I would say that it is almost impossible to learn correctly a foreign language ,not being for long time in the place ,where it is spoken.
On other hand , if you had not studied firstly at school and you had not achieved some kind of effective grammar knowledge than it would be as well costly in time venture and all these studing & living abroad would be very much stressful at the begining.
I regret myself not to be able to stay for longer in some decent American or English school when younger.
Would have one proplem less in live Laughing
