Oh Yes You Can!

Learn to Love Language

Did You Know...?

Listen Learn Speak - so easy!

"Expectation shapes outcome. "

Read that again and again. It can be applied to all areas of your life, not just languages. 

Reach for the Stars!!

Expect to be able to learn your vocabulary easily and your mind will direct you towards the methods that are best for you.

Your brain is wired for languages so expect to be able to learn. Saying “I can’t” becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Once a positive learning attitude is adopted motivation increases. Learning takes place at both conscious and unconscious levels.

Say constantly to yourself “I can” and see what happens. Go on, reach for the stars!

Feel free to visit my blog www.askannetaylor.com to make any comments about your learning or this article

I have been out and about recently giving talks in schools to staff, parents and pupils about languages. I love doing this as I enjoy meeting people and assisting them in understanding how languages can help them. So many people ask “Why learn a language?”  -  it is one of the best brain boosters there is. 

We are extremely good in this country at putting ourselves down. “I’m no good at languages” people say forgetting that they already speak one [their own] very well.  Then there are the old chestnuts “I haven’t got time”  - at LFA we can give you the basics in a very short space of time -  and “But every one speaks English” - Actually it is a very small percentage of the total world population that speaks English.    Anne

Buy a pack of prompt cards to start you off. You will have fun and learn easily the basics of one of three languages  - or all three! When you buy them ask for the free leaflet “The ten top benefits of learning a language.”

English has official status in at least seventy five countries

English is a first language for only 375 million  speakers in the world*

Only 750 million people in total are believed to speak English as a foreign language

Source: Eurobarometer 50 *This includes the 16 per cent of EU citizens who speak English as their first language

QUIZ

All in a Day's Work!

 In our next e-zine I will be looking at how language can double your earning power and forge a strong career in international business.

Look out for tips on using languages in the workplace and choosing the best career for school lavers and those wanting to continue their studies

This is an interesting and unusual site with the writer having a great sense of humour. Go to it to find out interesting facts about French food and recipes. There are many of these such as: - Baked Apples and Camembert Cheese.

You can have the titles in French but the instructions are all in English. Have a great time exploring the site.

 I received this in a newsletter from www.Helpothers.org. Go have a look and see what you think.  "We have many people in my area who walk everywhere. Today it was raining, and I had a thought. I would go to the dollar store, and buy a bunch of umbrellas. If I see someone walking in the rain, I could stop and give them an umbrella to use."

Send me these words: - Umbrella, it’s raining, to help others, to smile, a big smile, in Spanish French and German.

There is a surprise [a happy one] for the person whose name is drawn out of the hat before the next e-zine.
