Learning English and Another Foreign Language

These days there are many professionals who need to acquire fluent English skills as well as to learn another foreign language for their career success. These people need to know how to improve further their English skills, while learning their third language at the same time. In fact, it is extremely difficult for most people.

 

Although learning the first foreign language is similar to learning the second foreign language, learning English is quite different from learning another foreign language. For example, when people study at an English language school in America, every student tries to communicate with other people in English both on and off campus. Usually, there are students from many countries, and they have to speak English among them, because English is only one language for their communication. Moreover, students have lots of opportunities to speak English with local American people, while shopping, sightseeing, and the like. If you live in America, you can normally improve your English.

 

On the other hand, when people study the German language in Germany, they do not have so many opportunities to improve their German language skills in German, unless they speak German as well as English. Students at a German language school usually come from different countries. Unfortunately, it is much easier for them to communicate with each other in English than in German. German people are also likely to speak English with foreign people rather than German. As a result, learning the German language is much more difficult than learning the English language.

For learning another foreign language, it is much more required to study this language alone. It is indispensable to know how to improve another foreign language at home, while living in the home country. You should not expect that you can improve the foreign language, once you move to a country in which this language is spoken. Furthermore, you are likely to be confused between English and another foreign language when you begin to study your second foreign language. You must establish your own method to improve your English as well as another foreign language at the same time.

 

I studied French and German grammar in the Japanese language. After that I tried to study French and German using English as much as possible. For example, I found and read a favorite website that is written in English, French, and German for the same content.
