ReplyDeleteI read about we learn new language everyday and how much vocabulary is enough to speak. The learning skills are hard to measure. 3.000 words are necessary to know if you want to have a good conversation about general topic. But 3.000 words its not that much as it seem because we can learn a lot of worlds in one day that we don't even know that we did(10 per a day). I think with a lot of practice and speaking new language everyday you should have a dissent conversation in 2-3 month or even less.
lol..someone told me i only need 800 words back to China
DeleteI think 3000 words is not enough to have a good communication with people,.
DeleteOf course know more words as much as possible , that will be good at communication ~
DeleteOkay, I think just know how to talk to people!!! know more about spoken english, then talk a lot! we need conversation! lololololololololololololololololol...
DeleteThat is very interesting. If you learn a new language. You need always speak, speak, speak.
Deleteyeah 3000 words is enough for simple conversation, but if you want to learn some difficult lessons is not enough.
Deletelanguage is a interesting things for new people, but we have to work hard to grammar vocabulary
Delete3000 words is enough daily life.
DeleteWhen we communicate or talk with someone, I think this is right. However, if we are reading textbooks to get a great grade on general education class at the U of A, maybe more then 3000 word would be needed.
DeleteThis blog is written by a German girl, who really loves Japanese culture, especially the Bento box. She talks about making her own Bento box in German after she watched a video, which is a Japanese girl teaching people how to make Bento box online. She shows some picture about her own Bento box, and makes me feel very hungry.

DeleteJapanese food is delicious. This blog helps me to know how to making a bento box.

DeleteThe blog named “Hacking Chinese” is talking about how a foreigner to learn Chinese. Cause, you know Chinese is very different as English. It has totally different grammar, so hard to write and pronouncing. This blog has some useful ways to help the foreigners. Such as, browse the archive, sign up for newsletter, and join in hacking Chinese… But for a real Chinese people, my advice is “Opening doors rather than showing the correct way.” If you are afraid of making mistakes, you will never get better.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.hackingchinese.com
DeleteActually, Chinese is the one of the most diffcult language in the world you konw. Also, the Chinese has totally different grammar and including five thuousands year Chinese history.
DeleteAlmost the same one, if somebody wants to learning new things, just keep working until you get the thing that you really want.
DeleteTo master a new language need to overcome many difficulties, just like we learn English, from the most basic start, step by step to learn deeper knowledge.
DeleteLearning a new language is always difficult，We need to spend a lot of time
DeleteChina has 5000 year culture, so for language we have lots of 4 words idiom this is too difficult for other country
DeleteI heard from my friend that the structure of Chinese is quite similar with English.
DeleteNowadays, more people are encouraged to learn Chinese.
DeleteThe blog I read which is talking about an innate subjectivity in analyzing a language learner or speaker and their language skills.. Firstly, introducing language is enormous and important, and state that how well someone speak a language well depend on confidence, pronunciation, and accent. Secondly, How many words are necessary? Actually, the number of necessary words largely depends on the person's goal, also, mention some ways to have good vocabulary memorize such as ability to guess, deduce, connect, and construct meanings from imperfect data. Finally, to describing how to learn more vocabularies, and give a method to easy to learn vocabularies, then, explain the reason for it.

The blog is called "Hacking Chinese" and the subtopic is "Habit hacking for language learners". This bolg is talking about the study habit in how to learning Chinese, in the first of the passage, the writer maintain that the when you begin to learning Chinese you should set the plan before you start. You should find out what aspect is interested you and what benefit you can get from learning it. After that, you might considered to divid your study time, the writer suppose to start out slow and then gradually increase the load in future.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.hackingchinese.com/habit-hacking-for-language-learners/
Almost of the new things are diffcult, just keep working hard if you want to be successful.
DeleteIt is difficult to learn Chinese, we need to understand the language of the most basic part and understand the culture of the country.
Deletei read this one too. and actually... I think chinese is hard to learn... but if you think chinese is so interesting, you can study. Maybe u will get good grade, ahum..
Deletehahah I tried to learn some words in Chinese and it is so hard. I can't never study it is all about tone and pronunciation right?
DeleteThis blog post how to learn more English vocabulary. Learning a language, we must to master a certain vocabulary, it's like the structure of the brick and tile, so the vocublary is indispensable. We have to master at least 3000 words, we can have simply reading, such as the newspaper or the magazine. We can also through these books information to learn the new words. Similarly, students also should trainning their listening, speaking, and writing skills, this also is the key step in the learn English well.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.everydaylanguagelearner.com/
I think I read the same blog, and it is really interesting that 3000 word seems to be so much, but probably when you start to speak it is not even enough.
DeleteI also read that blog, but I think grammar is most useful than vocabulary.
DeleteAs a chinese, I read a blog about how to learn chinese. Chinese is interesting. To learn Chinese, you need to to unlock the language and understand how it works, and you need to know how you can do this in a easy way. In other words, you need to hack it! So the author said if we want to study better, we should have our study plan first. Then, he introduces some ways to learn Chinese. "Kickstart your character learning with the 100 most common radicals", "Focusing on tone pairs to improve your Mandarin pronunciation", "Creating a powerful toolkit: Character components", "Asking the experts: How to bridge the gap to real Chinese ","12 songs to learn Chinese and expand your horizons", and there are some web links about these things. So you can quickly enter the learning of Chinese. http://www.hackingchinese.com/
ReplyDeleteI think I know how to Mandar or how do you call that pronunciation. Cora you are such a good teacher. I can understand everything that you guys are saying in class. Can't wait to get even better in Chinese language, probably this would never happen.
Deletei think cora every language is easy but but for them native .my lenguage is easy for me not for u .same think but u right for study new language we have to make plan
DeleteThe blog’s name is “Language Immersion In Russia”, It’s talking about a person to learn Russian, The author is living in Russia for about a month, and he think the Russia” people is most hospitable and helpful. In the Russia, everyone use the Russian, we really have no choice, everyday we need to speak Russian. The blog tell me the survival and necessity push us beyond our limits, If you only want to learn a language then you might succeed, If you need to learn a language then you will succeed. So, when we learn a new language, we need always use this language.

Today, I watch the blog talk about the Hangeul Day. It is a kinds of Korean festival. Some international student use different word express Korean word. They survey lots of local people, the local people can not read it and local people said it is very hard and difficult.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.talktomeinkorean.com/blog/happy-hangeul-day-2013/#more-13812
Cool
DeleteI read the everyday language learner. It's talk about how to lean a good language and it is difficult, if you want to learn better. I also thing so, because language is composed of many parts. Such as a complete sentence, you should use your grammar to connect it.For example, I learned English. If I want to have a good speaking. I need to organize language and grammar.The most important is the vocabulary. This is also my fault.Analysis of this blog can just give me a chance to understand the language.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.everydaylanguagelearner.com/
I read a blogs about Korean, for me I think a language is not only represent a speaking, but also is that about different culture, for Korea there are so many words comes from Chinese or English, like the color: “mint” and in Korean they pronounce similar like English, called: “transliteration” Different country have their own spell but we both use 26 letter of pronunciation. For Korean is too hard to pronounce norm in English, because they can’t retroflex. But I am interested in korean because I want to understand soap opera.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.talktomeinkorean.com/category/blog/
I also read a blog about Korean
DeleteFirstly, I want to write this one ,but I changed. lol.
DeleteWhen I know these time I will read a blog is about language I’m very happy. Because in a international student, and I had a big problem is how can I improve my language kill. So when I see this blog title is ‘Is fluency in 3 months possible?’ I think it will give me some good idea can help learn English. But when I reading this blog the writer tell us usually this is on possible. The writer say ‘ in my own personal experience, I have met dozens of people who have genuinely reached high level fluency in a language in 3 months or less’. But he say if you want learn a language you need enjoyment it and have interesting.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fluentin3months.com/possible/

From this blog, I find that it is a good way to learn Korean by read blogs. they do this Korean language education activities online and it make a big achievement. They got an award from the Korean government,more specifically, from the Korean Prime Minister.It is really awesome.

This article is about celebrating Hangeul day (Hangeul means Korean letter in Korean). To celebrate Hangeul day, four foreign people who really speaks Korean well went to the streets and tested “ Reading Korean texts without using Hangeul” And most of Korean do not read well because it was written in Englsih alphabet(Romanization) not Korean letter. Most of them said “it is hard”, “it is difficult”, “it is unfamiliar, and strange”. So it reminds me that how Hangeul is convenient.

This article is about the everyone you need to know about studying Chinese but no-one will tell you. Hacking Chinese focuses on how to learn rather than what to learn. Here have many recent articles about the Chinese. I think Chinese is difficult language because the Chinese have long history. “Hacking” means to gain access to hidden information using a skilled and sometimes secretive method. I am happy to read this article, it means more and more people the world begin to learn Chinese.
ReplyDeleteI am learning English now, and I wish I can help other people to learn Chinese.
