Speak any languages within 2 months??

Question

I saw this slogan of some languages center very often,do you believe that we really can speak in any languages within 2 months? Has anyone tried it before? It does work out? thanks!

Answer 1

Of course you can speak a language after only two months of learning. But... it'll be obviously not to a proficency level. I think it depends on the amount of expossure to the new language, your previous knowledge of it, your mother tonge (it won't be the same learning Danish than learning Mandarin), your own interest, your ability for lenguage learning (experience with lenguage learning techniques) and the level of command of your native (if you know no grammar of English, even if you use it perfectly, you'd have problems with grammar explanations).
As some have already said, total immersion would be the condition. But total immersion means not using your language at all. That can't be provided by a software (unless all day you are working with it) nor by a class in your hometown. total immersion means moving to the country where that language is spoken and using ONLY thatlanguage.

Answer 2

As people have said, it is possible to become very effective in a language in a short time with the right learning environment. Being in another country, surrounded by the language and forced to learn it to communicate can make the learning process extremely fast. However, this is extremely stressful and is why very few people will learn a language this way.

I've never used the Rosetta Stone program (which is what you're talking about), but I think it's more manipulative advertising than fact. Don't get me wrong, with hard work and practice using the program, you could become efficient enough to communicate the neccessities in a foreign language and have very basic conversations about topics you're familiar with, but you wouldn't be fluent. It really comes down to what their definition of "speaking a language" is. I've heard it's a good language program, but it won't do miracles.

Engish is a global language! I congtrats u that u hav decided to learn it. You can go for some teaching classes or join some language teaching institute. Doesn't matter what resources u use. But try learn any language in its most natural way, U can follow four language skills viz. Listening, Speaking, Reading n Writing... "Practice maketh man perfect," Bacon once said. Try interacting with the Speakers of English. But its not necessary that you should speak the way a native speaker speaks, but u shoud aim at that.

Answer 4

I did a 2 months course to learn german. A friend of mine learnt in 3 weeks. You can reach a good level of conversation if you have the motivation, the good teachers and if you avoid speaking your mother language for this period (easier if you're in another country). But this is only the first step. You'll have to go on to extend your vocabulary. So go for it but don't stop practicing.

Answer 5

it IS possable

with Tachyoscopic learning and Subliminal learning techniques but it depends on how intencive a course it is... and also what the set up of the course as far as how it related to you...

If you are refering to Rosetta stone...

I agree with it i think it is possible depends on how much effort you put in though.

In fact I'm looking at buying it now. as i have heard nothing but good things abobut it from people I know and respect.

if it is some other progran then... sould be good could be a crap shoot. I will say this though it is HARD to learn a language in 2 monthe unless you are really in deep submergence. with everything going in your favor...

Answer 6

Actually, it is possible with total immersion methods. If you were to move to Mexico for example, where no one spoke English, you would be able to communicate in Spanish very well after two months.

It's the total immersion part that's hard. Total Immersion is the method used by Rosetta Stone software.

Good luck!

Answer 7

it greatly depends on the interest of the student...his desire to learn the language by heart. language centers would post like that for promotional or advertisement purposes, and yes, it can address the language basics but fluency in it will deal a great number of practice and exposure...

Answer 8

Yes, I learned Spanish in about 6 weeks. But I was living in Miami and practised EVERY day. That is the real key....practise every day (the more, the better) and yes 2 months is certianly possible.

Answer 9

I think it is impossible to learn a language in a such short period.
