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?

NYgirl,are you moving to England? Why? 😕
hello lasenka,we have not see you for a while.Where have you been? 🙂
NYgirl
hmmm, I envy you a bit 😉 Is your husband in London or around it? I would like to go there, but my husband doesn´t want to hear about it ☹
mimi
hello 🙂 I´m studying very hard 😒 , but I found this topic very interesting, so I come here from time to time just for a little bit 😉
How are you? Are you an English teacher, too? 😀
Are you studying for an exam or you study English at university?...I don't understand...
Philosophy is interesting...I like it, but it depends on the part of philosophy. I've taken many exams from philosophy...I suppose you have some kind of history of philosophy, aren't you?. I like existentialism most.
I´m studying Philosophy of Middle Ages now... I don´t know if I have written it correctly 😒 this is the first part of rigorous exams I am going to take... in two weeks I´m going to defend my work, so very very hard weeks are before (?) me
Lasenka, if I can..."before" is something that already happened, I think...I'm not good at prepositions either.And phrasal verbs are killing me...
Do you write it in English? I don't like this part of philosophy... 😖 But I have to confess their some of their ideas are admirable
oh yes, you´re right... it will be "in front of" me ??? I don´t like prepositions and articles 😠
I don´t write it in English but in Slovak... I´m doing everything together 😒 believe or not - I´m fed up with it !!
I studied ethics that I've already finished and European studies...that I haven't finished yet...I'm trying to write my graduation work...
Hello everybody,
I have problems with my English 😒 and its becouse... my boyfriend is American 🙂 (I know sounds wierd but...) and I talk to him Slovak - English and he understands me. So I am not improving my language skills at all, but I am improving his Slovak 😒 and my English starts to be poor. So good I found this site where I can practise my English 🙂
sharlotta
hmmm, I´ve seen you maybe there 🙂 Do you study only English or other languages...
Lasenka I´m a teacher in primary school-first degree.I teach 6-10 years old children.
I´m a teacher of math,slovak language,music,gymnastic,gym,geography .....and english too.
But my english is not good,I understand but my comunication is horrible 😠 😀
Hi girls 🙂 i am here too, what r u doing? we have big celebration today - my father-in-law has 50th birthday.
Hi, Kukina so you have a nice day...
Lasenka I don't study English...I've never studied English at university.I think it's useless. I know many students or graduated students of English and they usually say that the university gave them nothing. They study a lot of useless things but speaking and using English. I'd like to have a graduation examination in English, but the number of useless information discourages me from that. But I'd like to translate and teach English sometime in the future and have my own language school.
vavka
my communication isn´t good, too, but I try to speak in English in the classroom, I think it´s a good place to keep English up. This way I also try to increase my vocabulary 😉
sharlotta
you have got very nice ambitions, so fingers crossed 😉
I agree with you that studying English at university is something useless, but I need a graduation examination for the future work... do you understand? I can´t speak Slovak 😖
However, what languages do you study?
I've already written above what major I study or studied. I learned English at a language school with English speaking lecturers. I've loved English since I first started to learn it at the age of 13. And my brother helped me a lot with the vocabulary. We used English as a secret language so our parents didn't know what we were speaking about. And I did homework for all my neighbours.😀 And teaching English helped me a lot, too. Apart from English I started to learn Italian, German and French but... I've forgotten a lot because I didn't continue to study them. ☹
Where do you live?
Sharlotta-I see,you are good in English.I learned English only eight years and I don´t have time to learn it now.
it was so praktice-your english with the brother. 😀 😀 He is older then tou?
Yes, he is older and he attended a language school when I was at a primary school.
hi girls, this is really great topic 😀 ... my english is horrible, but I hope I will improved it with you 😉
lasenka, I had lived in New York for 2 years and now it looks like we will move to GB, we'll see but my husband is already there to prepare everything for us to arrive too 🙂
