Английские идиомы (31) - Disagreement

0 326

Вот что интересно, многие думают и даже говорят, что язык можно выучить за несколько месяцев... и я понимаю кто и почему это говорит. Но не понимаю другого - почему этому верят... у нас у всех есть пример из жизни - когда мы видим маленьких детей, да и даже школьников начальных классов - мы ведь не требуем от знаний родного языка, мы понимаем, что процесс занимает много лет...

Конечно, взрослому проще и быстрее во многих моментах, а в некоторых сложнее... но в целом, взрослому не нужно осваивать язык 10-15 лет, достаточно 3-5, в зависимости от настроя и выделяемого времени... но не год, и тем более не месяц и не 5-10 занятий.

Поэтому я и создал программу "Английский как родной" - в неё входит первое - всё что необходимо, а второе, тоже очень важное - правда с другим знаком - в ней нет ничего лишнего.

Для тех кто забрёл на эту страницу случайно, дам ссылку на заметку "Почему английский", просто очень многие на этом ресурсе с ненавистью относятся к английскому языку - на мой взгляд - это как с ненавистью относиться к отвёртке или ложке - это всего лишь инструменты и если ими пользоваться правильно - они полезны... а если ложкой пытаться открутить шуруп - то сами понимаете что это такое...
