   <description>2007-02-01 04:33: comment by &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v527&amp;quot;&amp;gt;timrowe&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; on &amp;quot;hy earning  ew anguage ay ake ou orget our ld ne&amp;quot;:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; don&amp;#039;t know what it&amp;#039;s like in other uropean countries, but when  was at school we weren&amp;#039;t taught nglish rammar at all!  e only had to learn grammar when studying a foreign language (rench was compulsory, and was the only foreign language taught at my secondary school.)&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;t was only when  took an 2 week intensive course to become a teacher of nglish as a foreign language that  realised, to my horror, how little grammar  knew!&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; love languages in general - but it&amp;#039;s more the *sound* of the words. (aybe because &amp;#039;m very musical.). s far as syntax etc. is concerned, well ......... that&amp;#039;s why  could never be a good programmer :)</description>

   <description>2007-01-30 10:30: comment by &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://ming.tv/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ming&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; on &amp;quot;hy earning  ew anguage ay ake ou orget our ld ne&amp;quot;:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; do recognize that phenomenon. t seems easiest to learn a new language if one temporarily forgets the old one, and one immerges oneself completely in the new, looking for what things are called there, grasping for the concepts in a new way.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;ut then later, one can go back and remember the old language, and be bilingual, without much cause for conflict.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; do notice how learning rench has made me forget some of my nglish. h, it obviously still is there, but &amp;#039;ve lost some of the certainty as to what is correct and what isn&amp;#039;t. ut now that &amp;#039;ve almost arrived at a stage where  can express myself in rench without much trouble,  might have to go back and study some nglish grammar.  never really studied any in the first place, but now  notice how a few rules might come in handy sometimes.</description>
