Foreign Language Software claims you can learn fast, then why have teachers and people paying for courses?
CNN has been a dvertising Roseta stone or whatever. I dont’ buy it. Cause STudying by yourself from software is just the same as learning by yuorself from a book. And then, you have questions to diffic ult cultural words.. you can’t know it without real people from the contry of the language you are learning.
And then they advertisse as “LEARN FAST!” What’s the point of learning fast, ,like being rushed. Also, i doubt it you can learn thousands of kanji or chinese characters in 1 week.
Sure you may be able to learn basic stuff fast, but that’s the same as what you can do from a book or language audio dvds. So why they claim this is like a miracle?
The best way is for language learning is to experience the challenge of learning . writing chinese characters by hand and challenging yourself to memorize things.
It’s just advertising hype. Some people learn languages easily whatever method they adopt, but no single approach will help everybody. Using books and software on your own has a big disadvantage – you are never required to participate in spontaneous, unpredictable communication, so you really cannot develop speaking skills as you could in a well managed classroom or living/working in the country where the language is spoken.
So teach yourself books and software have their uses, but people often have little understanding of their limitations.
