Communication is THE Goal of Language Learning

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

It’s all about communication! We humans just want to understand each other. No matter what language we speak, the goal is always the same: communication. It seems that most language learning companies forget this simple premise.The majority of companies out there, like Rosetta Stone and Berlitz have this silly idea that the general public wants to learn the entire language and all the boring grammar rules that go along with it. The truth is that less than 4% of the population enjoys learning a language in this way. The result is that most give up or don’t even try.It just seems so simple to teach people what they need to communicate and nothing more (unless they’re part of the 4% mentioned above). If you agree, please help us spread the word that learning a language CAN be easy and fun!

KAMMS’ programs don’t bog people down with useless vocabulary or boring grammar. You learn what you need to communicate ~ and that’s all!

Improve Life Skills by Learning a Second Language

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Research shows that knowledge of other languages boosts our understanding of languages in general and enables us to use our native language more effectively. Second language learners have stronger vocabulary skills, a better understanding of the language, and improved literacy in general. People who learn a second language also gain enhanced listening skills and memory abilities. They show greater ability in areas such as creativity, and higher order thinking skills, such as problem-solving, conceptualizing, and reasoning.Additionally, learning another language exposes you to unfamiliar cultural ideas, so you’ll be much better equipped to adapt and cope in a fast-changing world. You’ll learn to effectively handle new situations and it will improve your ability to understand and communicate with people from different walks of life.

If you have children, you can help them learn a second language too. Children who have studied a language at the elementary level score higher on tests in reading, language arts, and math. By you learning another language, you can help your children improve their lives as well!

Travel Confidently When You Know the Language

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Whether you’re traveling for vacation or work; you’ll be able to get around more easily and communicate with people wherever you go. In most countries, people will appreciate your attempts to use their language. You will be able to communicate more completely and have a deeper, more satisfying travel experience.

Being able to communicate in the native language allows you to fully participate in day-to-day life, understand the culture and communicate with the people. When you know the language, you have the comfort of being able to successfully navigate all sorts of situations, like ordering meals in restaurants, asking for and understanding directions, finding accommodations, negotiating cheaper prices, meeting and talking with natives or asking for help. If you don’t know the language, it can be frustrating and downright dangerous. Who knows, maybe knowing a second language will even save your life someday!
