"Jive" has been given a new pair of platform shoes, some gold chains and a fresh do-rag; it's gotten dressed up in its Sunday best, and is now known as "Ebonics," or "The Language Formerly Known As Jive."\n\nYou could go west to the Oakland Unified School District in California to learn it, but assuming you made it out of third grade successfully, you're too smart to pass the entrance exams.\n\n(Racist?  Never.  Sarcastic and opposed to stupidity?  Always.)

NONE! But you need some English/grammar lessons!

See if you can fit the word "flange" in to tomorrow's lesson. You should do that every day. Pick a word and see if you can fit it in to conversation. I do that nearly every day.\n\nToday's word was "unpossible". I've managed to sneak it in three times so far today.

I dunno.  Sounds like foreign jibberish to me.

Having students learn two languages is great, no matter what the second language is - I'm all for it. Hell, if you can get them trilingual, do it.\n\nEvery language that someone can converse in opens the doors to perhaps a job that would have never been possible, or come in handy in a certain situation.\n\nMy sister is quadrilingual, I'm trilingual. One of my proudest moments of hers was when she was when she called Cuba and conversed in Spanish, tracking down my aunt who was vacationing there in order to tell her that her father passed away. If it wasn't for my sister and the Spanish she new, my aunt could have missed the funeral.\n\nOn another note though, the best time to make someone learn a language is when they're young. If the parents know two or more languages, they should speak with their children in all languages. Some folks are concerned the child will be mixed up, but take it from someone raised in more than one language - it worked out just fine.\n\nI am happy to this very day I was raised to be trilingual, allowing me to get buy easy in a lot of places in the world, and being able to talk to people and relatives that I otherwise would have been unable to.

Maybe.  You probably can. If I knew what "jificty" was, I'd be more helpful. I wish I could be more helpful.  I'm serious.  Including the one I'm writing, I just got 6 sentences related to "jificty"; so can you.

Hi. I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. I speak Arabic fluently, and would be more than happy to talk, or correspond with you, to help you learn the language. I am sure it would be a lot of fun and learning! But I must warn you the language is one of the hardest in the world! I think it would be better for you to learn basic public (amiah) Arabic, than the literal (fusha) straigh away. In all cases I'm ready to help. Send me an e-mail if you decide to really start. Good luck.

Im launching a site called http://www.languagepartner.org where you will be able to find a native spanish speaker to go out for a coffee or something and actually practice the language. If you think this could be a hit in your city, contact me plz, I'm looking for people to join the team. Best regards, Jose

I have a friend in Denmark,and she has tried teaching me a little Danish.She has also made the remark that the Danish language is one of this hardest to teach/learn.I would start with visiting the libary or maybe taking a class in your city.

My daughter would love to help but I'm afraid she lives in Essex so it's a bit far to commute for lessons. However, on that basis I would have thought you may well get a response from someone a little more local to you. Few people that know B.S.L. advertise their services as a tutor as there is not the demand and most  of the hearing B.S.L users look for employment as interpreters. Keep posting and, with a little luck, the right person may read this.\nHave you tried posting this in Special Education?\nGood luck.

Oh, yes, way fun!  Cool grammar, cool music, neat words (loooong ones).  You don't have to sound like some mad evil monster either.  I personally find the language quite romantic (when spoken well).  Read neat poetry, too.  Nice nice people...everyone I've met, you try to speak German, they just compliment the heck out of you and say your german is so good! Germans think their language is more difficult than quantum physics, so anything you say is heartily welcomed.  Just try not to have the king or queen of grammar for a teacher, there's a lot of grammar, it's complicated, and you're better off picking it up slowly than trying to memorize it all at once.  Also, los!

Hi,\nHebrew as a second language...interesting.  I am multi-lingual and have noticed things about learning new languages.\n\nYou have already been supplied answers like:\n\n1) study\n2) immersion!!\n3) CD's, books, teachers\n4) speak to survive!\n5) stoned?\n\nThese suggestions are rated here:\n\n5 is useless...it just makes you think you're learning something when you're just wasting time.\n\n1 & 3 have been know to work but not rapidly.\n\n2 & 4 both work and work rapidly.  \n\nNow how to get there.  The language you intend to learn is of no consequence;  that is these concepts work with any language.\n\nLearning through chat rooms will gain you nearly nothing.  \n\nBeing younger is a distinct advantage.  If you are between 5 and 8 you will probably learn faster than those of other ages. \n\nYou need to live daily with those that exclusively speak your intended (new) language.  Having a person that speaks your native language fluently around is as much a hinderance as it is a benefit.  Optimally you'll have limited access to this person but have constant access to those who are only familiar but not fluent in your native language.  This forces you to do some of the language thinking.  Thinking in the new language helps you learn.  If you think you can learn without speaking out loud you are missing a large portion of the language learning process as well.  You need to say things out loud to people who will be attempting to understand you.  If they do, then you have positive reenforcement that will reward your efforts...and negative reenforcement for confusing or unclear communication.  When you mangle a sentence in your new language (which you will) you may see the listener wince telling you that you made a mistake.  This immediate feedback is most valuable in your learning.  Acceptance of your sentence and understanding from the listener is both rewarding and immediate and helps you learn that much faster.\n\nAfter you find yourself thinking in your new language, you are on your way.  Speak out loud, practice saying things that you hear, these are the two things that children constantly do that adults find annoying but are necessary for rapid learning.\n\nOops...I didn't mean to write another book.\n\nGood luck in your Hebrew endeavor.  I hope you're not just entering this lightly (e.g. because this cute guy is taking Hebrew too xP ) but ready for a lifelong commitment to knowing and understanding a new language and culture.
