Learning a Foreign Language
Very often from people who are going to learn a foreign language, you can hear: "I am, please, just conversational." I would like to understand these people. What is the meaning they invest in the word "colloquial." We talk, we all differently. Do a university professor a "spoken language", and a plumber – another. Although, of course, there are exceptions. And a university professor can speak as a plumber, a plumber – as a teacher University. But this is still the exception rather than the rule. In addition, when only interested in "spoken language", referring to the minimum knowledge and possession onym. Well, take a look at what the minimum amount of knowledge and skills needed to be explained in a foreign language.
In my opinion, it depends on the needs and intellectual level of the student. As you know, Ellochka-lyudoedochka crawl if I'm not mistaken, thirty words. But most potential students that amount, I think, are not satisfied. In general, most people do not know what they want specifically. I do not want to condemn people in any way, but in all honesty, I must say that many who wish to learn foreign language, even if they have a higher education, and speak their mother tongue very badly. I mean not only the written language, and even vocabulary. And, by the way, even in their specialty, many have very scanty vocabulary luggage. Hear how and what they are talking in the streets, public places, but what's there, listen to the speakers of the Central Radio and Television, for which the right and the rich, figurative speech is extremely important.
