1- Learning a foreign language has different points and also similarities with learning a mother tongue (mother tongue). First of all the important difference is that no one learns their native language in a formal (formal) way. That means no one teaches us to speak our mother tongue. Everything is normal when he is about 3-4 years old, he speaks his mother tongue without anyone teaching. Generally speaking, it doesn't take effort to learn your mother tongue. If we observe a mother tongue class, we will see that no one teaches it to speak. It just listens and captures it and automatically deduces the rules. I said at first it was growing badly or badly but it would no longer automatically control as it grows up. That means no one teaches the language for it. It also takes classes to learn its native language. Parents, siblings, and friends are all who cannot teach it language.



2- The scientists are normal about the ability to absorb language in children. They found that in a normal young class session (normal young president) any student in the language would speak that language fluently at about 4-5 years old. That means no language is called "hard" for them! It is a special child's ability that linguists cannot explain. It is also an achievement that few adults can do, even professionals! It is speculated that possessing language-absorbing children so quickly is because there is a part within each of the people that the Chomsky linguist calls the Language Acquisition Device (LAD) for otherwise. Human parts cannot learn languages! By antiques are species without LAD, they do not have developmental language like humans. However, LAD is just a hypothesis to explain a specificity of humanity. The hypothesis has not been scientifically proven because no one knows how and where it is in humans. We believe that also thanks to LAD, people can naturally absorb language, especially their mother tongue. The ability to speak in the mother tongue as well as the ability to walk is a skill (a natural skill) that does not require anyone to teach nor effort.



3- Externally it is believed that language absorption (following language) occurs only once in youth. When they grow up, language learning becomes more difficult, which means that they don't have the ability to 'absorb' anymore, but only have the ability to 'learn'. Learning and Acquisition are two different ideas. However if children are exposed to 2 or 3 new languages ​​at a young age such as parents who speak two different languages, or we play with you to speak a language other than the one we speak at home. young Children can also enjoy 2 or 3 languages ​​at the same time without any problems. It is also a secret for young children to keep learning from waning.



4- Many language learners each have an element (critical part of the stage) for learning a foreign language. It is too periodic, learning a foreign language becomes more difficult. The critical stage is usually under the age of 12. However, the hypothesis is not accepted by many linguists. You do not let critical period hypothesis disappoint you because you do not have the dream of speaking a foreign language as fluently as a child means that you do not want to absorb (have) the English that you just want to learn (learn) English only because your needs are not much. You are not need to read the voice same y as people British Americans can communicate with them because it is not necessary.



5- In general, most of us learn our mother tongue as a child and start learning English or a foreign language when we get older. That second difference means you have to try to learn foreign languages.



6- Whether you learn your mother tongue or English, you must master the principles of pronunciation (pronunciation), listening (listening), speaking (speaking), reading (reading) and writing (writing). In addition, you will receive new material: Your mother tongue when you become friends in learning English. Normally, because in human you have a system of language (system language) that governs sound, parts of sound (sound player), that governs sound and how you think. So you should always think of your mother tongue before learning a foreign language. The influence of our mother tongue and what to do with English will be discussed in more detail at a later program.



7- The point we want to tell you right in the brand and will repeat many times in the book is: learning a foreign language is not learning jobs with a new label, but learning how to think of the language speaker. there. Don't forget that each language has different perspectives and has different actors in terms of their surroundings.
