Page 51-54 Teaching Language
How do adults become proficient in a second language? I found this reading to be interesting in terms of what scholars think about second language acquisition. Some speculate that second language learning is equivocally taught to individuals and thus pick up on it. Although some may agree on this,i do not. I think second language learning is done by individuals who are immersed in a language even though sometimes it may not be there own culture, it seems that individuals pick up languages in that environment.

Well i just returned from my homeland up in Northwestern Ontario, unfortunately my visit home was for the purpose of burying my sister who was a great person and sister to me. In any case, I was thrilled to be able to visit old friends and especially speak in my native tongue, i had so much fun talking and sharing with my friends and relatives that i was sad to leave in such a short time there. I realized that our language is so important and that we cannot afford to lose such a great and sacred language, speaking and sharing was so much more meaningful that its so difficult to describe. I just wanted to mention that this co hort has enhanced my desire to save the language, not only for my people, but for all Native Americans.
