Not feeling so good about your French lessons? Here’s an idea!

Increasing your French vocabulary with these simple techniques will ease the vocabulary-type mental indigestion and mental bloating that irritate and discourage students as they learn French vocabulary. And most importantly, an increased knowledge of vocabulary will boost your confidence and fluency as you learn how to speak French

Modern studies have shown though some differences between how a child and an adult learns a second language do exist, the older learner has the distinct advantage. The adult learner of Spanish can learn the language faster because of the following: The adult’s maturely-developed brain has the superior ability to understand the relationship between semantics and grammar. The adult’s brain is more mature in its ability to absorb vocabulary, grammatical structures, and to make more “higher order” generalizations and associations. The adult learner’s better-developed brain is better at “putting together all the pieces” with a more developed long-term memory. The biggest obstacle for the adult is the emotional factor. Adults have bought into the myth that they just cannot learn a second language. They are also afraid of making fools of themselves. They believe the myth that they are “too old.” I have often thought this is the reason children seem to learn Spanish faster than adults do-they do not have to contend with the embarrassment factor. If the monolingual adult could get past the affective problems in second language acquisition, then the motivation soon could be crushed by the attempt at learning the vocabulary necessary for fluency. I recently received a letter from a reader who said he has taken Spanish classes for more than seven years and still can’t speak the language. He scores very high on written tests when tested for grammar competency but can’t speak the language or understand what’s spoken to him. His vocabulary, he told me, is so abysmal that it makes his speaking and understanding extremely difficult.
