There are lots of parents that want their kids to know a second language.

I , myself, speak 3 fluently and a 4th  really well but do not consider my self a fluent speaker.

I have fallen in love with Korean Dramas in this last couple weeks and I really want to learn Korean and I am  already picking up a few words here and there and was looking into learning Korean as it is a very different language.

I came across this TED talk and I  really like many things he had to say. How learning a language is not about adding more knowledge in a school kind of way or teaching.
How  we would learn the same way children learn to talk and how it is about the learner and not  teaching.

It is also probably why kids have an easier time to learn another language but I think adults can do it too as I did and I want to do it again.


I have seen people learn another language exactly how he learned Chinese. We have been the parent of our Japanese trainee and my husband is really good at talking to people who understand just a few words.
