Lesson Two
2006-06-30
Language Decides the Way of Thinking
I tried to follow up my lesson in four parts:
Part One: Letters and basic sentences
Part Two: Vocabulary
Part Three: Grammar
Part Four: Reading and listening
It seems that I'd better try to find some German translation software to save time, or I spend too much time in looking for words in the dictionary.
Today when I told my teacher the way I am following up my lesson, he drew this:

Yes, I found I made a very junior mistake: Surely learning a language should come from speaking and reading. Maybe I am too greedy to learn. But according to my experiences in learning English, I have my own way to grasp more from the simple words.
When Hans showed me another picture, I started to know why Germans are so good at industry and mathematics. In their language, everything must be accurate enough, or they can not be understood.

Hans told me, learning a language just like going into a zoo. Every verb looks like an animal. If you understand what they eat, what they do, you will make friends with them, and they don't look that scaring any more.
Yes, I like to make friends with all kinds of animals. The more difficulties I am facing, the more excited I am. I enjoy the feelings of being exposed to another totally new world.
