Závery z diskusie
Zhoda
- Weby www.englishpage.com a http://www.sitesforteachers.com/index.html sú v diskusii uvádzané ako užitočné zdroje na gramatiku a cvičenia.
- Počúvanie anglických pesničiek a rýmovačiek (English lullabies, Ten Green Bottles) a sledovanie detských programov v angličtine (Thomas the Tank Engine) sú praktické metódy na zvyknutie dieťaťa na jazyk.
Sporné názory
- Niektorí diskutéri tvrdia, že prepínanie jazykov môže dieťa zmiasť; iní tvrdia, že systém "one parent–one language" alebo používanie jazyka v konkrétnych situáciách dieťaťu pomáha naučiť sa, kedy ktorý jazyk používať.
Otvorené otázky
- Koľko hodinovej expozície angličtine denne potrebujú malé deti, aby dosiahli funkčnú úroveň plynulosti?
- Aká je optimálna kombinácia samoučenia (CD/MP3, piesne, filmy) a formálnych kurzov alebo konverzačných hodín pre dospelých študentov, aby videli rýchle zlepšenie?

baby ja vam len ticho zavidim ☹ . Nieco z tych viet precitam, ale malo rozumiem. Tiez chcem vediet po anglicky. My sme mali len rustinu a aj tu som uz skoro zabudla. Momentalne nemam cas chodit niekde do kurzu a samouk nie som ☹ . Som nestastny zemepan 😢
bejby: i don´t mind it 🙂 I started learning Spanish several months ago - I simply love this language but I had to give it up because of the lack of time... 😒 but I hope to return to it again during my ML 😀 maybe 🙂
But I still can remember some basic sentences and questions and answers 😀 such as "donde estas?" or "de donde vives?" or "como te llamas?" I hope I´ve written it right 😅
hey, by the way bejby can u translate the song "tu quieres volver"? what does it mean do u know?
Wow, great theme... So I welcome myself and I´m looking forward to talk with you all, ladies... 😉 🙂
Weroni and Karolinka - my "old friends", nice to see you... 😀
mexx: welcome 😀 another topic where we meet 😅 I start thinking there isn´t a topic we haven´t met in 😅 or - is it? 😝 😀 😀 😀
how come i hadn't discovered this topic earlier? 😉
great chance to use english a bit while i'm still home 🙂
Weroni, are you going to speak English with your child or not? I´m curious... 😉 Cause I like it and maybe I wanna speak English with my child sometimes in future, but I´m not sure if it is possible for me. It is pretty hard... 😔
mexx: yes, I´m - but just when we are alone - just me and my sweetie 🙂 also going to join English songs, poems, rhymes, stories 🙂 but I can´t speak in English to my little baby while being among Slovak speaking people so I will speak EN but also SK to him (or her?) 😀 we´ll see in June 😝 😀
mexx, my daugter absolutely loves it when i read to her in english. otherwise we speak slovak 🙂 and she often watches thomas the tank engine in english 😀
Casue I heard if you started to speak some foreign language to a child, you have to speak all the time this language. And then I think it´s pretty hard... 😅 Cause I don´t know, if I´m good enough in English to handle this...
i've heard that too. that's why i didn't try. i didn't want to talk to her exclusively in english. but, i couldn't find thomas in slovak 😉 and, we have many english books for children.
I think it can´t be bad speak English at least sometimes...it can help to learn English sometimes in future. 🙂
i've heard switching languages confuses the child 😒 but i agree with you: it can't hurt hearing another language from time to time: i think saska will get used to hearing it a may remember something. it might help later when she studies english at school...i hope 😉
Hi girls, could you please translate one sentence for me? I have to write a text in which I have to use reported speech, but I am sure, I would do a lot of mistakes in this sentence, because there is a combination of reported speech and conditional. It is for my homework. So, here is the sentence: Povedala mi, že keby to používala častejšie, je si istá, že by sa to pokazilo viac ako 4x. I have problem especially with the second half of it.
Thanks, if you can help me.
Uff, that´s out of my league... 😅 😀 I´m afraid, it is a very long time since I was on high school on my English lessons...
Ok mexx, doesn´t matter anymore. I found a similar sentence in a book. So I hope, it will be correct.
Weroni-yeah,It´s a bit complicating,but I´m working on that.
A coordinator from an agency phoned me last week and he told me I should have a teaching job from September 2008 in England.
I have to arrange all documents,to have them translated as well-send CV,references...and so on.
So that´s why I´m not sure about the exact location yet.
It also depends on my husband´s job.So,we will see 😉
hi everybody....!!! 🙂
etuska... u already found a job?! congratulation!!!
did u found a flat yet? if yes...can i ask how much did they wanna deposit money?tha
Julia-I haven´t got a concrete job yet.They just told me in a recruitment agency that itś 99% sure that theyĺl find a job for me.
I haven´t got a clue about price of the flat in the UK. I thought that we will move to Ireland,so I only searched the prices in IRL ☹
ok...i forgot...sorry
and that agency u looking for a job by is english?or just irish?
English-I think their "base" is in London or Birmingham-I´m not sure now.But it´s definitely English.
Hello I´m very happy.. ☹ and I finish..I can´t following....but I can´t 😅 I would like to learn english, I hear english CD every day to my MP3, in my jurney to the work, sometimes in office, when I go home or I hear its in my bed. Uff. Is it corect? 😅


OH and I am frist on this page 😀 😅
