L. - Australia said: Problems for learners in GermanyEnglish, being a West Germanic language, is similar to German in many ways. For example some vocabulary is quite similar (some is even identical), as is some grammar, such as the subject-verb-object rule. There are however many differences which confuse German learners. Many of these differences can only be memorised, such as 'false friends'. False friends are words that appear similar (or the same) in both German and english but carry different...  [Read more]

Though diminutive in size, with most maps of Europe not even fitting the name in the space, The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has plenty to offer in terms of outstanding natural beauty, green landscapes, rivers, and charming, fairytale villages. In a central position in Europe it is handy for France, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands. The language is Luxembourgish, which is a close relative of German; however, English is fairly widely spoken - particularly amongst young people. With a population under half a million, you shouldn’t find yourself crowded out. There isn’t necessarily a wealth of teaching opportunities, and there is only a handful of language institutes. Telephone tuition exists, but it is run through an office in Brussels. Anyone wishing to teach in a state or private...  [Read more]

Some, such as Grammar - Translation seem to be out-dated. Personally, I think that this method, as a grounding in a language has advantages. Of course, the skills of communicating and speaking do not have priority. For this reason, this is not a recommended technique for the purposes of TEFL. Personally when I learn a language ( I speak German fluently, French at B2 and am learning Bulgarian), I like to understand and have a grasp of the grammar involved...  [Read more]
