VOCABULARY is of prime importance when first learning
a Foreign Language. For Native English Speakers ~ GERMAN
is the easiest VOCABULARY to master. Many of the small
everyday words are similar. In the video on FRUIT about
24 different Fruit are mentioned. 14 (60%) of them are very
similar to ENGLISH and several are identical. So in TEN MINS
you have learned 14 German words for Fruit. Very useful if
you are in a Greengrocers in Berlin ! The same is true for
NUMBERS : Ein ~ Zwei ~ Drei ~ Vier ~ Funf ~ Sechs ~ Sieben
Acht ~ Neun ~ Zehn : They are very similar to English can be
learned in five minutes ~ and are pronounced phonetically !
ANGELA IS FLUENT IN SPANISH can get by in PORTUGUESE
and understands French & Italian and is learning German !
I studied French & Spanish in School & German & Italian
at College so we do well in Europe ! In essence it does take
at least a Year to be confident in a language and with Greek
and Russian if you learn the Alphabet you can often
TRANSLITERATE a word ~ so if it says APOCATHERY you
know it is a Chemist ! In big cities many People are
fluent in English but if you get off the beaten track in S.
America a knowledge of Spanish is very useful. Also many
ART GALLERIES & MUSEUMS the signs are only in the
Mother Tongue ! If you are travelling to a NON-ENGLISH
speaking Country go to a Language Class to prepare. They
are good fun and one meets lots of NICE PEOPLE ! 🧡🧡🧡
