Learn the foreign Language

I was rambling about michinnom yesterday and made a joke about how to learn the foreign language faster. So I think it's fine for me to talk about this.

P/S: (serious note: no need to read this post if you could learn the foreign languages easily as I'm not talking about how to learn them from books solely. Some geeks may think my rambling is rubbish)

The first foreign language that I learnt was English. When I was kid I loved to watch English programs (cartoon, Sesame Streets, movies or any discovery programs) but the most important thing-----those programs came with the subs.

I did tend to listen well to the words and compared them with the subs. Additionally, while I was watching the program I would also pick some words that could attract me very well. One of the example is "deadlock". I was in primary school in that time, I guess around 9 or 10 years old. I watched one animal discovery program and I did automatically like that word without any good reason. So I looked straightaway to the subs. Hence these words were being stuck into my mind without any hardship to memorize them.

By this way I gained my vocab at the very first stage. My mom gave me a handy English vocabulary when I was in my primary. I love it a lot but I don't know where that tiny dictionary now :(  It's from my mummy!!  I used that dictionary very well and since I did have some vocab already, it's not a hard job to learn the language in school. Besides, I really love how English people pronounce the phrases. So, I enjoyed to learn it as I love it so much.

When I grew up a lil bit older I also watched hindi movies. They also pronounced their phrase so good.  Since the words are so good to my ears, I used the same TV method as I learnt English. But this time, it's kind of a bit different as it more attract me that much as they have so many similar words that has the same meaning. So of course I learnt it much easier.

Since, I love to watch TV that much... ( sigh~~I hope I won't get any children like me or else I have to give a long speech to them to stop watching tv that much...focus on doing the school's home work although I'm not that person when I was kid. LOL) so I stuck with Latinos drama..Pinoy..Korean..& Japanese.

I used the same method like I used to learn English & Hindi. I also matched the languages..such as Malay & Tagalog..Tagalog & Spanish...Spanish & English.Well, since it just a non formal way to learn those..so I just have some few vocab only.

I also learnt Persian language from my Iranian friends. It's not that they did teach me at first but I listened carefully when they spoke to each other. I don't know but I'm a lil bit more pick up when it's about listening. Therefore I could detect their pronunciation. I realized their words contain a lot of Malay and Hindi words. So started from that I grew some more vocab of other non Malay & Hindi similar Persians words by asking my friends. Hence I understand the language.

Despite of knowing some words from these language, I still couldn't learn Chinese & Tamil languages. I always wonder why.  But when I re think about it I know wut's the real reason is. Actually there is only one reason!

P/s don't feel offend, I'm not being racist! 

The only reason is those languages couldn't attract me as I need a sweet nice mellow sound when they pronounce the words! ahahahha

Moral of the story: Find something appeal factor that could attract you to the language. Use my method & combine it with the book version in school. Hurmm..I don't know if it works well to you but for me it's the best way.

Since, I like something visible..could be felt..could be touched (I hate ebooks as I couldn't touch the paper..ahahha) so I think you know one thing....

Of course I couldn't be so good in computer programming language bcuz the lang has no sound!!!!! LOL. Seriously I used to ask why I was stuck with computer science..If only I took any engineering...I think I could earn phd long time ago without sweating that much. Damn..Teme!!! (It means stupid in Japanese..it also equivalent to baga..it also a Japanese word) P/s don't put these words in your mind okay..& claim that you learn it from me. LOL.

I even hate programming language for the rest of my life. Err..but what I'm doing now? ahahhaha..As I couldn't make myself to like it....so I made an experiment to console myself. How? I joined the freelance job while I studied. If I get any job so I'll get the money right..so the money is the factor thing that could attract me to learn the language! hehe

I was so stuck back then as my mind couldn't go the programming language channel. LOL. So what do you think of exam's result if I remained that way? Meanwhile, my first university is super strict. Once you get expel..no second chance at all. You could try your best even to rock your country..but nothing could be done okay! It's not my word but it happened. It was being a major story of the country that one girl appealed since she got expelled.

She's a smart student by getting dean list for her 1st sem. But since she was under influence by some student's organization so she couldn't obtain her study. No one guided her as she's an orphanage. Her parent died already. The public mass did report this and tried to appeal for her. It's even got some influenced by some political issue. She regretted on what she did and appealed to the minister.

Could you imagine of the outcome? It's nothing okay! So don't ever dream to be kicked cuz it's gonna be for good.

My experiment worked well, so now I'm using the same method to learn Cobol. LOL. Some people may laugh at me on how I learn the programming thing. What ever. It's not that they help me or give me money. It's about me myself how to survive in this world. :)

Well, I hope some of you may take the good side if you find it useful. But don't take the bad side of me. LOL..good night all, my eyes........I have to go to the office early tomorrow to run the batch!. urggghhh..well it's fine at least it's the last day of the week :)
