Living Language
How long does it take to learn a new language while living in this country?
For some reason, my friends and I started talking how long it will take for someone to learn a new language in a new country. For example, how long does it take for an American to learn German if he moved to Germany? or a German who emigrated to America?
It all depends on the level of that person commitment to learning the language. Americans are known for their unwillingness to learn new languages. Notice I said "lack of will "rather than" incapacity ". An American in Germany did not really need to learn German in order to live well. Many People are willing to practice their English with him, and that there is a difference. Learners of English want to practice, taking risks and diving Americans generally did not in the same passion. They fall back on their English whenever they encounter language problems. A person that is truly committed can learn a language family-member (similar language) pretty quickly. Reading newspapers in the target language, watching TV and movies, talking to themselves (in the car, lift, while watering the plants) in the language they want to learn them much more comfortable talking to a real person. And that, in human interaction is when real learning takes place because of the need to negotiate meaning between interlocutors. Then the learner can confirm what he knows or learns that the language of certain elements should be revised. This person will not be bilingual within a year, but they will be well on their way.
