(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) Anytime you're learning a language, there are some

2
00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:03.200
challenges that you have to overcome, but the

3
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:04.440
way that I teach them is that words

4
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:06.400
are puzzles, and so we look at them

5
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:06.820
as puzzles.

6
00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:08.220
We can break them down, we can put

7
00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:10.240
them together, and the beauty of learning these

8
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:11.840
two languages is that they have a language

9
00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:13.960
that kind of goes with the other language,

10
00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:15.540
and so we're able to see the connections

11
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:16.780
between the two languages.

12
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.880
And those cross-linguistic connections are really important,

13
00:00:20.180 --> 00:00:21.600
and just teaching them how to do that

14
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.640
has been the biggest difference for them.

15
00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:25.460
And so when they come to my class,

16
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:27.920
this is their second home, and they're allowed

17
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:29.440
to be open, and they're allowed to be

18
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.800
honest, and that we work together with whatever

19
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.400
difficulties that they may be having with understanding

20
00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:34.940
the concepts.
