Want to learn a new language?\u00a0<\/span>Try to observe a school-going, 5-year-old child born and brought up in Bangalore, of mixed parentage, say a Bengali and a Malayalee. The little girl can speak Bengali and Malayalam, Kannada (environment), English and Hindi (cosmopolitan city) and Tamil (from school bus drivers). No less than 250 words and many sentences in each language. What is the secret of the child\u2019s profligacy? Is it divine intervention or rare talent? Instinctive learning is the secret.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” text_orientation=”center” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Hear-repeat, hear-repeat is the mantra, much to the chagrin of the mother. Instinctive learning isn\u2019t afraid of mistakes. But as we grow older, logical learning sets in and grammar takes precedence to construct sentences. Why? Sadly, it\u2019s due to paucity of time and fear of committing mistakes.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” text_orientation=”center” sticky_enabled=”0″]

My dream is to relax by the sea-shore with Milan Kundera in one hand and a mug of beer in the other hand. Reality is that I have been a German language teacher for the past six years, post retirement from the services of a Bank: and I enjoy my reality.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
