One More Try of Finding the Right Way of Learning Foreign Languages. The question "What language do I have to learn?" usually followed by the questions "How do I have to learn it? What do I have to start with?". Now the language is chosen, but the other two questions are still not answered fully. As many of us, I've already been learning English for many years, but still can't say I have got enough knowledge of the language. After reading lots of books, watching videos I figured out the most (as for me) useful method of learning languages for beginners and partially for learners who have higher levels - like a babies. Yes! Babies know nothing about grammar, sentence structure etc. They study it later, at school, but before that they are listening to adults speech and trying to catch some basic things. Then they start speaking somehow, they build sentences just how they feel it should be constructed. As for the vocabulary, they memorize not the single words but the whole phrases. It's more productive because almost every word has more then one meaning, but here you start learning words from the context in witch it's used. As a result, you start to get used to the way of thinking native speakers think. So maybe we should follow this way? I do not call you not to learn grammar (of course, it's necessary), but this might help you a lot in the language learning process. P.S. May be some of you have another good way of how to learn foreign languages, and it would be great if you could share this idea with me :) P.P.S. Waiting for a fixes in the text above, thank you :)

The question, "What language do I have want to learn?" is usually followed by the questions, "How do I have want to learn it?" and "What do I have to start with?" Now, the language is may be chosen but the other two questions are still not fully answered fully.

As Like many of us, I've already been learning English already for many years but still can't say I have got enough knowledge of the language.

After reading lots of books and watching videos, I figured out that the most (as for me) useful method of learning languages, especially for beginners and even partially for learners who have at higher levels, is like a the way babies children learn. Yes! Babies Children know nothing about grammar or sentence structure, etc.
They study it later, at school, but before that they are listening listen to adults speech speak and trying to catch some basic things. Then they start speaking somehow, they build building sentences just how they feel it should be constructed. As for the vocabulary, they don't memorize not the single words but, the rather, whole phrases. It's more productive because almost every word has more then than one meaning but here and this way you start learning words from the context in witch it's which they're used. As a result, you start to get used to the way of thinking the way native speakers think. So maybe we should follow this way? method. (This is actually a statement. You could ask, "Should we follow this method?") I do not call say that you should not to learn study grammar (of course, it's necessary), but this might help you a lot in the language learning process.


P.S. Maybe some of you have another good way of how to learn learning foreign languages. and It would be great if you could share this your ideas with me :)

(Your English writing is good, Elina. We would normally use "children" instead of "babies" in this context.

In my experience, learners have all sorts of ways they learn best. Some like a lot of repetition, some like reading aloud for pronunciation, some prefer listening, and some even like to do grammar exercises! I believe that a mix of all methods is good because it gives students a full range of the language. 

But I think you're right-- it's so much easier for children, isn't it?)
