learn2ndlanguage "interactive" article

Good News when you are considering learning a second language?

Language courses that are "Interactive'", are typically miles ahead of the "old fashioned" text book type courses.

Why??  

The "old fashioned: method of learning is essentially based on rote and repetition.  
The "new fashioned" courses are "interactive" and are based on "IMMERSION".  

Learning by rote and repetition: means... over and over and over and over until your brain remembers.  

This method of learning works, and is tried, tested, and proven.  It does work and it's been tried., tested, and proven to be BORING AND SLOW.  The other disadvantage due to the lack of interactivity can mean problems with pronunciation, and your ability to converse is limited and somewhat mechanical.  The old fashioned method results in your acquiring some ability, but your ability is truly limited, because you are can converse "on paper" but when it comes to "hearing", you will discover that whoever you are conversing with is usually "talking too fast".  Your are able to "speak" poorly rather than fluently.  

In a nutshell, the old fashioned method:

  • SLOW
  • BORING
  • YOU CAN CONVERSE "ON PAPER"
  • REAL CONVERSATION IS "POOR"
What is the difference regarding "new fashioned" language courses.
What is "Interactive"?  What is "Immersion" and what does it mean to you?

Because of today's technologies, some "new fashioned" methods of learning have developed.  Technology allows you to interact in a conversation, the improved results and benefits have been more than significant.  You are able to immerse yourself  into the language and conversation.   You almost absorb your new language (see Author's Bio for access to a more detailed review).

The teachers and programmers have also come with games, sports, news, puzzles, etc. to add more fun to your learning process.  Fun is probably one of the best benefits, and why I say that is because you will look forward to learning, you will enjoy your learning rather than suffering through another tedious, boring, difficult lesson.   You will be motivated to learn and to continue and complete the learning course.

Another fantastic benefit of the "new fashioned" courses is the speed at which you learn.  You will really be surprised at how easy and quick this new method is.  What used to take may months or years can be achieved in weeks!  When you see an "interactive" course boast of learning in 8 weeks or 12 weeks,  you are not looking at a SCAM...this remarkable leap is because of interaction and immersion.   When comparing, remember that the "new fashioned" courses will save you many months.

There is more.   You soon develop an ability to actually understand what is being said, and an ability to speak as well.  This interaction is almost effortless (you start to become fluent).  Because the process is so smooth, you will be surprised and pleased with the results.
