※ 引述《Seashore69 (日本Calbee薯條真好吃^^)》之銘言： : I think what the host of ICRT said is 100% right! : English education in Taiwan in the past focused too much on : reading and writing skills. : So, most students have spent more than 10 years studying English, but still : can't talk in it with foreigners. : It's really a pity. I would like to make a point here. Recently I've been led to believe that if one does not have a good command on his/her native language, it's out of the question that he/she will learn any foreign languages well. The theory is quite simple. Without a solid foundation, you can't build a mansion. Take Mandarin for example, although most of us use it on a daily basis, we pepper our speeches with redundant, meaningless words. And we write banal sentences. In other words, many of us actually have poor command on our mother tongue. Therefore, if you want to learn English well, fix your Mandarin first. : Good news is, recently, more and more people (kisd and adults) try to promote : their speaking and listening. : Some people go to some private institutes like GVO for practicing speaking. : Some people try to organize study groups on the Internet. : I was very lucky to join a study group days before. : And, my host and I had the first meeting this morning. : Though we didn't have a specific topic to talk about, we really had a : great time in chatting in English. : I am also very happy to find someone who can practice with me through Skype : in weekday morning. : I notice that many people want to find someone to practice English : through Skype, but they are only available at night or on the weekend. : But.... : But.... : All my night time and weekend are occupied... : If if if.... : If someone who is also available in weekday morning, please let me know. : Maybe we can be good partners^_^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.60.217.24
