joining

The Olympics are a time where different nations and cultures join at a select destination. With these many nations come many different languages as well. That is one reason why I think that it is odd that citizens of China are, in some places, being forced to learn English. I would think that they should be allowed to learn any new language that interests them, instead of just English. Although I find it odd, I also see why people are pushing for more to learn English. I also find it encouraging to see so many people take an interest in the English language. I think that seeing so many people trying to learn our language so we can better communicate is a great thing and will only strengthen our relationship with China. I think that seeing the Chinese people take an interest in our culture will only grow on us and you will start to see Americans take more of an interest in Chinese culture, more so than we already are.
China has a rapidly evolving economy that could someday lead the world and turn them in to the next superpower country ahead of the United States. Also, China and the United States are good trade partners and communication between the two countries is critical to maintain a long and healthy relationship. I think that both cultures need to learn the others language, but I do not feel that force is required. I think that people should need a general interest in something to do it.
To the poor English learners, I don’t know what I would be able to say. Like I said before, you shouldn’t be forced to learn new things, but instead have a mutual interest in what you are learning. I think that learning the language is a good opportunity for them, despite the way in which it’s occurring. This may also improve them in the workplace, especially if they have jobs that require them to communicate with English speaking people.
I think that taking a well organized approach to learning the English language is key. I don’t think the English language is one of the harder languages to learn in the world, but I feel that having a well, thought out, organized plan, can help you control the language better and faster. One thing that many people will learn is that all the time spent on grammar is, for the most part, a complete waste of time. A lot of the time will be spent communicating directly with people and they will understand what you are saying as long as you word it right. Writing to someone now-a-days is becoming less and less used. Although it is harder to write, rather than to speak, as long as you can get the point across in your message then many people aren’t going to have a hard time communicating with you.
With the way the world is evolving due to the internet and advances and technology, it is becoming easier and easier to communicate between people of different languages. I’m not sure exactly how people are being taught the English language, but I’m sure it is relatively strenuous, more strenuous then need be. If you talk to an American citizen and asked them what a good way to go about learning the English language would be, then they’d most likely tell you the same thing I have said. I wouldn’t say that there is any one way to go about it that is more successful than others.
I do have some tips that may be helpful in learning the English language. The first thing is the most obvious and evident when learning any language and that is repetition. Repeating the word correctly over and over again will not only help you pronounce it right but also help you learn its meaning? Another thing you could do is use the language you’re trying to learn more often in everyday situations. I remember in high school, we had a foreign exchange student from South Korea who wanted to master the English language and would only speak in English even if someone tried to talk to her in Korean. She had very fluent English and I believe that is one of the main reasons why. If you do use the English language around English born speakers, you might be able to pick up a few things as well. They might speak to you and use lingo you have never heard before and that is another way of expanding your knowledge of the English language. These are just some of the tools I tried to use when I was taking my foreign language in high school. I believe that they are so basic that anyone can use them for any language and be successful in it.
