Your education system is just going to be a bunch of different mobile apps with microtransactions in five years isn't it

Also, recommend an app for practicing writing kanji, I got a stylus and everything

    Way more when you consider that nobody actually learns a foreign language in American high schools, you take 1-2 years of a Spanish class and come out knowing how to say library and bathroom and a few other random words, just a huge joke just like the rest of the education system

      what i want to know is where grammar-first came from in the pedagogy. that's not how you learn your fucking first language, why is it how they try to teach us the second one?

      Where do schools actually succeed at teaching foreign languages? I guessing kids in the first world are good at learning English because they want to play English language games and watch tv shows and movies.

          Sure, I tried learning japanese from a russian study book that started with japanese words for worker, Lenin and communism, but it didn't stick. On the other hand is you travel through europe most young people understand english at least at some level.

            It's obviously nowhere near a lingua franca, but it's impressive how many people across the world are at least somewhat proficient with it because of cartoons, comic books, video games and porn

      I'm Finnish and had mandatory Swedish for 6 years

      Min svensk är jättedåligt

      Though here the main problem is the mandatory part
