Thinking in English or Chinese Hi I am from Tamilnadu a Southend State (province) of India where the main language spoken is Tamil and the political situation of my State turned the People of Tamilnad to 2 language people and rest of India normally speaks (Regional Languages like Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi etc. (Totally 18 major languages) , English and Hindi (national language). I felt like an alien in my own country when I visited North India where main lingua franca is Hindi. So Last few weeks I started to watch lot of Hindi Movies in TV and I feel I am grasping control of the language. When a child learns a first language it is not translating the words to anyother language to understand. It directly attaches the visual actions, emotions to the sound of that word. So If we start to behave like a child just watching and trying to understand without translating to mother tongue I think we can learn any language very fast. Any how nice topic for all. |
