Spanish as the second most spoken language in the country must be taught in all Public Schools, starting at KinderGarde. The advancement of kindergarten education was a major focus for the energies of female reformers in Germany during the 1848 revolution and the rest of the nineteenth century. Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852), an educator and philosopher who had studied with Swiss pedagogue Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, formulated the educational philosophy of the kindergarten. Froebel, who was born in Oberweissbach, Thuringia as the son of a pastor, had attended the University of Jena. A veteran of the Wars of Liberation, he had previously founded schools for boys and written several treatises on education. Following Pestalozzi's teachings, he believed that mothers should take a leading role in the education of small children. His best-known book, written in 1843, was Mutter- und Koselieder, a series of songs designed to help mothers provide sensory stimulation and educational play for children from the first months of life.

Froebel, however, believed that most mothers were not qualified to perform this crucial educational function, and therefore designed a new type of institution for early-childhood education, which he called the Kindergarten. He founded the first kindergarten in Blankenburg, Thuringia in 1840. The kindergarten differed from existing preschool institutions, most of which were church-run day-care centers known as Bewahranstalten or Kleinkinderschulen. These institutions provided chiefly custodial services for the children of the very poor. Their pedagogy was based on traditional Christian doctrines of original sin, and their teaching staff was largely male; beginning in the 1830s, Protestant deaconesses were also sometimes employed in these institutions. By contrast, Froebel designed the kindergarten for children of all classes, though at first it attracted chiefly middle-class children. Its pedagogical approach, based on that of Rousseau and Pestalozzi, denied original sin and affirmed the child's innate capacity for rationality and spiritual growth, which must be encouraged by a nurturing and supportive classroom atmosphere. Froebel, having failed to interest the male-dominated teaching profession in his ideas, called upon women to staff the kindergarten. Strongly believing that child rearing skills, though resting on an innate maternal instinct, must nonetheless be developed through training, he set up the first institute to train women kindergarten teachers at Keilhau, Thuringia in the early 1840s.

El Monolinguismo en los EE.UU es una politica republicana retograda y apartheid.

Los reps tienen miedo a dejar de ser monoculturales, monolingues y liberaloides con bandera de neocons.

Como Foley hay varios... cuidado con esos maricones re public asnos.

Answer 1

See, you're a perfect example of why English learning should be enforced: you're babbling crap about enforcing Spanish, and you don't even know that there is no word "monolinguism" or "KinderGarde." You found this quote someplace but aren't literate enough to know how to cite your source. You complain about something but are really a dimwit too lazy to learn any language properly - there's no reason in Spanish, either to write "bien" with the capital letter, as you did, or to put a space BEFORE a comma but omit it after one, as you did. So you and the likes of you are a disgrace to any nation or group, Spanish or English-speaking, because you speak neither, just whine like a little lost b**ch becasue you have to do or learn something.

Answer 2

The most differences are in England. For each area there, has their own accent and interpretation of how words have different meanings. I was told, that those in the north, nearest Scotland, speak closer to the language of the Scots, than the English Royals. And that either can understand the other so often. They also have different temperments. With the northerners more friendly than the southerners of England. Canadians sound more like the US english speakers. Though they put accents on many of their words. And they often say, "eh" when asking a question. The Aussies have a specific sound, that is similar to British English, but there is a definate difference. Both tend to use the term, 'mate' though. When referring to a friend. US english is probably the hardest for any to pick up, since we have changing slang. So much so, that even the citizens here, can't keep up. Especially if you are a parent of a teenager.

Answer 3

Ce n'est pas bien.
Your diatribe goes a tad beyond the boundaries of a question, but I'll respond anyway.
Monolingualism is not an asset. There are numerous studies that show bilingualism or multilingualism is actually a benefit to students. It opens their minds, quite literally, in a way that monolinguistic studies never can. It gives far clearer insights into other cultures, and in the shrinking world of international economics, the better you can understand the person you are doing business with, the better your business with that person will succeed.
There are far more advantages to multilingualism than there are to monolingualism.

Answer 4

Only when Americans stop being so arrogant about everyone having to speak and write English the exact same way as they do, will they be ready to accept learning another language.

I am a fluent English speaker, I speak with a non-American accent ( British) and I have been told some really rude things by some really rude Americans.

The rudest one was "Go back to your own F*%^&*ng country you cow and learn to speak proper english."

The nicest rude American said "When you learn to speak proper English, call me back".

Americans are just SO arrogant.

Answer 5

Je suis paresseux et ne lirai pas votre question entière. J'aime parler deux langues. Je n'ai pas aimé étudier le français mais maintenant je me rends compte qu'il est important d'être au moins bilingue. J'enseigne les étudiants qui sont trilingues. Il est étonnant.

Answer 6

Well I didn't realise they spoke english in the USA, it always sounds like something else.
