How Languages are Learned

Posted by John Fotheringham on Jun 19, 2010 in Featured Articles, General Learning Tips, Learning Tools & Materials | 2 comments

I was just poking around LingQ.com, a fantastic language learning site I can’t recommend enough, and saw this video on how languages have been learned since the dawn of time, where things went wrong more recently, and how we learners can correct course. They do a great job of breaking things down to the basic, fundamental truths.

Enjoy!

    Thanks for sharing this video John. It’s a great video explaining how people got to learn languages. I agree with how boring classroom lectures have become for students. With the advent of the internet, great tools out there have emerged and enabled people to learn more effectively and learning has become more fun.

    I am a firm believer of fun learning to make one more interested to learn. Perhaps you would like to try out L-Lingo. It’s a language learning online application that gives you 40 free lessons. By the way, I’m Karen from L-Lingo.com. We do have 9 languages–Burmese, Chinese Mandarin, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese. It’s a fun and easy-to-use online application, and it immerses you into the language you want to learn plus it has translations. I’m currently studying Mandarin using this app and I simply love it. We would like to invite you to check out our application and give your feedback, because we would like to shape our program to give learners a great learning experience. You can check out http://l-lingo.com We’d be happy to hear your feedback and assist you with your lessons. You can get in touch with me at karen@l-lingo.com
