Let’s Read
Read the following passage :
The mother tongue is the first language that the child learns and picks up from the people around him. A foreign language is a language that one uses for a limited purpose. The mother tongue comes in a natural way, whereas a foreign language is learned so that one may be able to write and speak it. A language is learned with its structure, grammar and vocabulary. The mother tongue may have a different sentence structure. Often the method of translation is adopted for easy understanding of a foreign language. This is the main fault area of learning a foreign language. This may not be the right approach. So instead of learning a foreign language through translation one should know the way it really goes. The exposure to a language is the most important factor in learning.
