How Long Would It Take To Learn English As A Foreign Language?
How long would it take to Learn English as a foreign language? There is no simple answer to this question and learning a language takes time and patience. Making the most of the time a student does have by using it wisely is what really counts.
Make the time matter by focusing on the following main concepts:
- Grasping the general rules of grammar. Teaching the student to understand where different forms of speech fit in relation to one another. Where do the words fit in the sentence?
- Expanding their vocabulary. Teaching a student to really understand and grasp as many words as possible in everyday life and situations in the world around them.
- Trying out your new language with native speakers.
- Watching lessons on video or listening to audio once the basic concepts are grasped.
- Reading basic books, even children’s picture books before graduating onwards.
- Basic writing exercises like a postcard, shopping list or short poem.
- Have lots of patience, both as a student and teacher.
- Practice, practice and more practice.
These are some of the actions that will lead to a more fulfilling well-rounded experience for both the student and teacher. I find students are happier if they have completed one small task in a day and understand it very well, instead of taking on several at one time.
