It is important to learn a foreign language because it helps you connect with more people. As it
is, today we do not belong to a big planet Earth; we belong to a small global village and to
survive in this global village, it is necessary to be multilingual. For example, English is spoken in
86 countries. If you know English you can communicate with people of 86 countries.
2. How is it helpful to you to speak a foreign language?
I know English which is a foreign language. It is very helpful for me. Knowledge of English
makes me feel more confident as it increases my communication skills and also it helps me in
surfing the net because most websites are written in English.
3. What is the most difficult part of learning a foreign language for you?
I find some pronunciations very confusing at times. For example bough is pronounced ‘bo’
whereas tough is ‘tuff’.
Sometimes the spellings which have silent words also confuse me. For instance ‘b’ is silent in
doubt and debt.
4. What is the best way to memorize new words?
The best way is to start using them in daily life so that they become part of your natural spoken
English.
5. Is it better to learn a new word from translation or by definition?
I think both ways are equally good. Sometimes some words are learnt best by translation and
some by definition.
6. Why don’t some people know the language of the society they live in?
This is perhaps because they live in their own shell and don’t intermingle with those people.
7. What do you think of children learning a foreign language?
I think children should learn a foreign language. It is very easy for children to learn a foreign
language as they are very receptive and they are not hesitant about making mistakes. They also
have a benefit of not knowing any other language too well, to make comparisons and
assumptions about the difficulty of language learning. In this era of globalization, knowledge of a
foreign language is very beneficial for a better career and a brighter future. It opens more
avenues for the students for higher education and good jobs.
8. Why are some language classes boring?
Some language classes are boring because of the teaching methods used. If there no
interactive and fun activities involved in teaching a language and only textbook teaching
methods are followed, students become bored easily. Incorporating technology in classrooms,
keeps the students interested in learning and they learn it easily. For example, there should be
audiovisual means used.
9. Some students hate to learn foreign languages, what can teachers do to develop their
interest?
