Can you believe that there is a secret to language learning? It is easy enough to find out. Talk to the English teachers at any school that claims to have the secret. They must speak beautiful Japanese if they possess the *SECRET* to language learning.
----------
We provided our child with and English education in Japan. I've taken TESOL (Teaching English to Speaker of Other Languages) doctorate classes taught by some of the most famous linguists in the world.
Of course parents want the best for their child, but maybe they can't see the big picture. In university I was told that there where two main factors that have driven language teaching. Ironically these two factors have been religion and war.
----------
EXAMPLES?
Religion: There are religious people who believe that everyone in this world must have the chance to read their holy books before peace will come to this world.
War: War is a reality. Big, powerful countries all over the world are desperately looking for people who can understand foreign languages.
A children's English school in Japan may claim that there is a secret to language learning. It is a lie. There are too many powerful, rich entities that would be using the secret to language learning if there was a secret.
