Just wanted to show you this video I came across, that discusses an important issue: why do so many people fail in the attempt to learn a new foreign language?
It's a sad fact that the average native English speaker canNOT communicate to ANY reasonable degree in a foreign language. The notable exceptions are perhaps those who have taken their foreign language studies to the university level (though even that's no guarantee!) or have grown up in a bilingual environment (ditto!).
This video discusses some of the reasons for this, and I think this will be of interest to readers of this blog:
