As far as I remember, I downloaded some #language courses here earlier, e.g. "FSI Language Courses". Maybe you can find them on other websites, too. I like them because they are considered public domain (made by US government employees), so I can freely copy them on the SD card in my mobile phone.

I've come to the conclusion that the best thing I can do by way of learning languages other than English - is to learn English grammar. Because, once I got through things like Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Tenses, and Questions, they stopped teaching me grammar.

And language apps keep trying to shove declensions at me, and telling me how to say "nominative" in Latin. Um. What the hell is a nominative? (No, don't tell me - I looked it up. I can't remember what it is, but I did look it up.)

I compared notes with my family, and my Mother is the only one who could say that she'd been taught about things like that. And that was because she had to learn Latin.

So I've uninstalled the Latin language app, and installed a bug-ridden job from the British Council about English grammar, that started with the verb "to be."

I will return to Latin - but not until I've mastered a more advanced version of English grammar.

“The secretary of education recently unveiled an initiative for curriculums to place more emphasis on history and language. Within the decade, proficiency in at least three languages will be required of all American schoolchildren by graduation. And along with its other recommendations, the CDC has issued a promulgation that every U.S. Citizen “unplug” for at least two hours each day.Location 6374.”

Language learning is also about different cultures, broadening minds, and opening doors to new opportunities, here and abroad. It's almost like our government wants to keep young people unskilled, especially if they're less affluent. Go figure.
