Learning a language within its speakers is very improtant in many ways, but I am going to talk about two of its advantages. First of all, when you learn a language in its natural socio - cultural environment you are sure to acquire the cultural aspects needed for an efficient communication. In addition you learn certain expressions and phrases that you would never find elswhere. Secondly, when you learn a language in nthe commutnity where it is used as the only tool of communication you a hundred percent sure of learning it in a short span of time. Besides less effort or financial supprot is required to achieve your goal.
To end this article, let me tell you a funny story I witnessed the first week I arrived here. As you may know, I usually go shopping at Walmart. One day, when I finished picking up the items that I needed I came to the counter. Surprisingly what I saw intrigued me. At least on three or four counter it was written "Lane closed" As I did not understand what "Lane" was I approached a lady and asked:"Is everyone is this place named Lane?" The lady asked "why". I replied "because everywhere I can see "Lane closed" She laughed and asked where I was from. I relied "Mali" She said 'lane is not a person's name. It is the way or the aisle.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you the best way to learn a new language is whit native speakers. I took some English courses in my country but never is the same. Here we learn more things, idiomatic, customs, etc.
