What is the speaker point of view toward learning English?
Give your opinions about the speaker's view.
Do you agree or disagree with her? why? or why not?
State your opinions by writing a paragraph. You can use giving opinion expressions and transitional words we've learned in the classroom.
English is the most uninflected of languages of Europe and though vocabulary and some structure is similar to those languages, knowing them helps very little. In fact, similar words often have wildly different meanings and lead us astray. Learning any other language, especially some more exotic to us like those of East Asia, increases our knowledge of the grammar and syntax of our own since we learn terms and methods of analysis that we normally do not use or have an awareness of.
