Rocket Language Article #2 Why does it seem that almost everyone who is learning a second language has chosen the WRONG  LANGUAGE COURSE?

Visit a language forum and be prepared to find out the sad truth.

Some people are happy with their choices regarding a course to learn a second language...but it seems that most people are not.  

What does this mean to you?  
If you are thinking about learning a second language, all the negative feed back adds to your indecision and doubt.  

Some common questions that you would like answered:

Will the choice you make be a mistake?
Can you really learn to speak a second language in 8 weeks?
How long before you can learn to speak and understand a second language with confidence?  
Which courses are a waste of time and money?  
Which courses give you your money's worth?
What should you look for in a language course?
What can you look out for when considering learning a second language?
Are the higher priced courses really any better  than the lower priced courses?

So you go to forums and read reviews and in your search, you discover a flaw!
 
What is the flaw?   

Almost everyone  hates their course, got a bad deal, got scammed, was lied to, was overpromised, took forever to learn, and so on...kind of depressing, since most of these courses seem to stink.  Aha ...but you have found a few Glowing Reviews, Reassuring Posts, and Positive Blogs...and here is the flaw:
This positive feedback is by someone who is trying to SELL you the course that they recommend.  Hmm?  

Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.  Your homework and research  tells you the good reviews and positive feedback are actually ads for the courses that are being praised...argghh.  

Welcome to the club!  I can relate to your dilemna.  

OK...but do I offer a solution?   Yes and no.  What kind of answer is that?  I invite you to visit the Author's Bio, because I want you to read my review.  Why?  You will discover a step by step breakdown of exactly what to look for, and how to compare and evaluate.  This information is gold and well worth your time.   So how can you trust what is in the review?  I assure you that you will not regret your visit.  You can take the information and run, no hard feelings.  

In Summary:  You use the internet to help you make an easy and quick decision, whether you are comparing language courses or many other products.  Somehow the information highway has gotten filled with bogus information.  So much for easy and quick.  There are definite features and benefits  about a language course that you need to be aware of .  You will also need to know how to compare these  features. There are also certain mistakes that you need to know about so that you can avoid them.  I invite to visit the Author's Bio (or Resource Box) where you will find a link that reveals  these answers and more.  Thnak you for reading.
Sincerely,

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:
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.

By grasping your new second language, you quickly develop a sense of confidence.  Your confidence enables you to engage in conversations without falter and without fear.  The results you have actually achieved will be a surprise to many.  Why do I say this?  I think that many do not really expect any real level of fluency.  I think that many expect similar results to the "old fashioned" course, which is like a "hit or miss" ability to speak and listen.  Ohhh...you are in for a treat! (see author's Bio on how to avoid the two major mistakes that you will probably make).

In a nutshell, the "new fashioned" method:
In summary:  Compare value when considering learning a second language.  Look for "Interactive",  if it is not interactive do not consider it.  The Differences are too great to make any other choice.  I invite you to visit Author's Bio for more information, to find out how to avoid the two major mistakes you will probably make, and for more comparisons to help you make a wise choice.  Thank you for reading.

Good Luck.
