Book excerpt: The Way of The Linguist, A language learning odyssey. It is now a cliché that the world is a smaller place. We think nothing of jumping on a plane to travel to another country or continent. The most exotic locations are now destinations for mass tourism. Small business people are dealing across frontiers and language barriers like never before. The Internet brings different languages and cultures to our finger-tips. English, the hybrid language of an island at the western extremity of Europe seems to have an unrivalled position as an international medium of communication. But historically periods of cultural and economic domination have never lasted forever. Do we not lose something by relying on the wide spread use of English rather than discovering other languages and cultures? As citizens of this shrunken world, would we not be better off if we were able to speak a few languages other than our own? The answer is obviously yes. Certainly Steve Kaufmann thinks so, and in his busy life as a diplomat and businessman he managed to learn to speak nine languages fluently and observe first hand some of the dominant cultures of Europe and Asia. Why do not more people do the same? In his book The Way of The Linguist, A language learning odyssey, Steve offers some answers. Steve feels anyone can learn a language if they want to. He points out some of the obstacles that hold people back. Drawing on his adventures in Europe and Asia, as a student and businessman, he describes the rewards that come from knowing languages. He relates his evolution as a language learner, abroad and back in his native Canada and explains the kind of attitude that will enable others to achieve second language fluency. Many people have taken on the challenge of language learning but have been frustrated by their lack of success. This book offers detailed advice on the kind of study practices that will achieve language breakthroughs. Steve has developed a language learning system available online at: www.thelinguist.com.

Download or read book Foreign Service Institute Amharic Basic Course Text Book Volume 2 written by F. I and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the premier language course for learning Amharic. The underlying method of this text course is guided imitation, and the aim is the ability to respond effectively in everyday scenarios. The ultimate goal of this Amharic course is to speak Amharic accurately and easily through vocabulary building, conversational dialogs, and grammar sections. The course provides for the assimilation of all basic forms and patterns of the Amharic language by the guided imitation, memorization, and manipulation of a large number of sentences and by practice of common everyday situations. The course includes a printed text book. This is one of the courses produced for US Foreign Service personnel based on courses produced during World War II by the American Council of Learned Societies when the US needed materials that would teach languages to soldiers fast. It is remarkable that students of Amharic have such an excellent course available for such a relatively rarely-studied language.
