Learn Foreign Languages

You might have got the impression of my upholding the methodology that is dominated by READING. The reason is that reading can improve other sides of your language learning aptitude.

You must remember when you were called by the teach at class to read a paragraph out in high school. After you were done with the reading and sat down, you found that you had no idea about what you had read. That’s not because of the nervousness that you had when you were reading aloud in front of the classmates.

It was because reading distracts your senses. When you are reading silently, you are only using two of your organs, eyes and brain, for seeing and comprehension. However, in reading, you need to look at the textbook with your eyes, read with your mouth, and understand what you are reading with your brain. One sense joins in the whole process. Three of them all have to deal with the new situation. Before adapting themselves to the reading process, they act as if they are distracted.

Distraction is contrary to concentration. In this case, however, distraction could be a good thing and beneficial to our language practice.

After reading several times, you will find that you begin to know what it is all about because the eyes, the mouth and the brain have come to learn to work with each other.

What good does this do to me? You might have this question in your mind as your eyes move here.

The organs will learn to work individually as well as cooperating with each other. In other words, they will get less distracted as time goes. When you put down the book and talk with one who speaks the language that you are learning. In this case, you will only use two organs of the three used in reading process – mouth and brain. Two of them will have less pressure or more space to put themselves into full play. They even don’t have to work to their whole potential to deal with the talking situation.

That’s what reading can do to your language learning cause.
