4. Learning the German Alphabet October 13, 2008 The German alphabet consists of 26 letters, just as the English alphabet does. However, the letters are pronounced differently, which is why every beginner has to learn the alphabet before starting any lessons in the language. There are many similarities between German and English, such as in the use of the letter /q/. It is only used with /u/ as in words that have /qu/ in them.

7. What Learning Languages Can Do For You - By Mr. Viktor Hanuska and Nathalie Fairbanks October 07, 2008 As an executive for a large international corporation, I had the opportunity to live and work in a few very different countries: Germany, France, the U.S., China and Korea. Growing up in Germany in the post WWII era, I spoke German and had learned Latin and some Greek in school. I had had French classes but was far from fluent when I finished high school. My first experience in really learning a language was after applying for an internship in France during college. I had boldly stated on my application that I was fluent in French. Nobody challenged me until I tried to mumble a few words on ... (read more) Author: Nathalie Fairbanks

8. Sticky Subject: Expanding Your Vocabulary October 07, 2008 You know how it goes. You go to your language class and learn useful things: how to introduce yourself, talk about your hobbies, your work, your family. You've probably learned a lot of grammar and could sing a song about the past subjunctive or some other obscure grammatical treasure. Yet... you get home and can't even say: "Where are my keys?," nor can you name the most common objects. A fun and easy way to remediate here is to write the name of objects on Post-it® notes and stick them on every object that you'd like to be able to name around your home. If your new language has t... (read more) Author: Nathalie Fairbanks

9. Freelancing as a Translator October 02, 2008 Language is not logical, as even those behind the very best attempts at machine translation will happily attest to. Indeed, if I were to try and decode this article into German using something akin to Babel Fish, I'd end up with something closer to Fermat's Last Theorem than a guide on how to be a butt-kicking, name-taking freelance translator. For prose in one language to reach another without it being cruelly and sometimes hilariously mangled, it needs that human touch. Many people understand translation is spending long hours burning the midnight oil with a dictionary in either hand, b... (read more) Author: Brian Scott

10. From dumb gringo to able traveller thanks to language school September 28, 2008 27.01.06 By James Frankham New Zealand Herald My world is mute. Conversations, signs and words cannot find their way into my simple, Spanish-less existence. I decide to embark on Spanish lessons. I know a smattering of German, a handful of French, enough Farsi to get me into trouble, and Papua New Guinea Pidgin as a party trick. But Spanish is the first foreign language I have attempted with any sense of commitment to the long haul. I'm a writer, I try to convince myself, a professional wordsmith, so surely another language will come naturally. But the New Zealand education s... (read more) Author: Eric Castro

11. Learning German Using Phonics September 17, 2008 Have you ever asked a native speaker what a particular word means, just to get a blank or confused look? Is your pronounciation so bad no one can tell what you are saying? Would you say En-glish and En-gland or Eng-lish and Eng-land and can you tell the difference? If you see an international word in a German text do you naturally say it in English or in German? Why is this important? When you hear a child’s first attempts saying Mama or Mummy what you are most likely to hear is “MaMaMaMaMa” . It is this practicing of the sounds that is the fundamental building block of the language. The... (read more) Author: Peter Rudin-Burgess

12. How Fast Can We Really Learn A New Language? August 30, 2008 I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried and tried many a time to learn a foreign language. Like many people I’ve always got as far as the basics and maybe how to order drinks or ask where the toilet is, but that’s about as far as I get!!! Around 20 years ago in the UK, the top languages to learn were always French and German; there was never the option of Spanish, which seems to be by far a more popular option. There seem to be so many courses around, but how do we know which one to choose. In the end you probably actually end up learning completely pointless, but fun phrases when in the...

16. Rising to the linguistic challenge August 20, 2008 by Philip Yaffe This is a story about a young man growing up in Los Angeles in the 1950s. He was a bit strange for a Californian of that epoch. He of course loved surfing, but he loved mathematics and physics even more. His dream from a very young age was to go to university and get a science degree. And that's what he did. In 1960 he enrolled at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). At that time (I imagine it is still the case), in addition to their choosing a major, university students were required to take so-called "cross curriculum" classes in other disciplines. ...

21. How Long Does It Take To Learn A Language? July 31, 2008 This is the question I'm asked most often as a language teacher.
