YOU CAN LEARN SPANISH
Guanajuato, Gto, Mexico October 22, 2006 -- You CAN Learn Spanish or Any Language No Matter Your Age or Disposition, by Doug Bower, is loaded with practical suggestions to follow whether you want to study a second language at home or abroad. In addition to practical ideas, the author also provides a strategy of how to learn a language. The truth of the matter is that most of the language programs you buy are not that great. The author has weeded out the ones that could be a waste of money and provided an excellent list of language schools, self-study course books, workbooks, and language reference books. Just the ideas on what to do before spending money on an overseas language school can save a person thousands of dollars and endless frustration. --Delores Johnson, M.A.T.
Thank you for your clear and informative letter. The American system of foreign language instruction has not taken advantage of the more than 40 years of modern linguistic, psycholinguistic, and neurolinguistic research on language learning and development. The approach used in most American schools and universities is called the grammar-translation method that has been codified by professional teachers. Only a few instructors in the country have questioned this approach or wondered why other countries succeed in creating second language learners whereas, for the most part, American teachers have failed. Your comments are insightful and correct. Older learners who have been exposed to a translation system rather than an immersion system are suspicious of an immersion system because it is not widely used. --Harris Winitz, Ph.D. Language Development, K.C., Mo.
