Three languages, one winner :)
I have studied three different language when i was in Turkey. First one is , of course , English. I was at sixth grade when i started learning Eglish. Actually, i was taken 24 hours English classes every week. It was tough but i was enjoying learning something new. I could not keep practicing so i forgot so many thing i used to know in English. On the other hand, i learnt grammer well because i use to think English grammar is like a Math. There are some rules and systems. Then i studied Arabic for two years. I definitelty forgot every part what i learnt. It is really tough language to learnt and the alfhabet is different. I wish i was be able to study more Arabic. At college, i studied French for a year but it was full time every week. I missed lots of classes ; however, i had been doing good until second semester. Then i missed the session exam, that was the end for my French study. In addition, i love every part of learning new language or cuture so i am looking forward to learn some other languages. I'd like to conclude this part with saying: if you dont practice or repeat what you learned recently, you forget it easily....

24hours class?? is that possible????wow
ReplyDeleteof course, it was 24 hours a week :)
ReplyDeleteThat's good. 24 hours a day would be a little too intense!
ReplyDeleteYou're right about language learning. It's impossible to retain the knowledge unless you use it. This is true especially about speaking and listening. I know for myself that I can still read some French, but I have virtually lost my ability to speak it. I was never very fluent. When there is no one to practice with and you aren't surrounded by the language, you never really acquire native-like ability. If you love languages so much, I'm sure you'll end up learning another one besides English at some point in your life.
