The second language acquisition


In the online world nowadays, we have to prepare ourselves in facing one's culture and customs. To be able to get the exact information of the desired target, we need to learn the language of one's culture. The learning acquisition can be taken by through different types of learning methodologies. In the process of learning someone can be as a mover, listener or visual learner. One thing that I need to put forward which is probably not new is by taking the language online - based on the interests - traveling, cooking and etc.

Writing and speaking the second language is a must these days. If you are a traveler and you need to visit a foreign country, then you should at least learn a few words of your country destination. Everyone who needs to learn the culture, custom or history of one nation should also prepare themselves on the language. We never know what is going to happen in the future but when you are prepared in terms of a different language acquisition you will never get lost.

The problem of taking one's language is the lack of time and sources of teaching media which are appropriate with the interests of one's capability. In my opinion, according to the multiple intelligence approaches, one is gifted with different capability in absorbing the second language. There might be some barriers and we never get rid of some trial and error thing. One will find out the best approach that suits with his intelligence. Based on this fact, I would like to prepare a tool of getting or absorbing the second language acquisition,. Try and find out whether it will suit you or not.

Through the invention of internet, it will enable us to learn directly. I am trying to provide you with the online lesson of bahasa Indonesia. You can contact me and give comments or you may also ask for a certain subject. You have to trust me for I am an experienced educator for teaching the second language.

The Importance of Language-Learning

Why should we learn a foreign language? After all, the whole world speaks English. Well, there's some truth in this argument, but only some. There are many reasons for learning a new language:

Personal Development
By learning a new language, you gain new horizons, but at the same time you reinforce your own identity, and therefore also your self-confidence. A foreign language can contribute to a stronger personality.

Cultural Reasons
It is a fundamental truth that cultures define themselves through languages. A foreign language gives you access to another culture. It gives you the ability to communicate and to exchange views with people all over the world that you would otherwise not have the chance to know.

Educational Reasons
Learning a foreign language opens up a whole new dimension. It has a positive effect on intellectual growth and it enriches and enhances mental development. Learning a foreign language is especially effective at an early age. It greatly benefits reading and writing in one’s own language; there's evidence that, like musical education, it contributes significantly to the development of individual intelligence.

Economic Reasons
In a globalized world characterized by international links and intercultural connections, linguistic skills are crucial for employment and career. The knowledge of foreign languages increases job opportunities in many careers where knowing another language is a real asset.
