LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE THROUGH HISTORY!

Foreign Language Learning |
Learning a Foreign Language in an
Institute does not only mean learning grammar and rules. It also means learning
the culture, the history of these people. By studying history we get a better
idea of the language and a passion for studying it.
Spain and
Latin America
Spain was an imperialistic power during the 1500s and
Columbus accidentally reached Latin America and was mesmerized by the resources
they had. The indigenous people there were innocent and not aware of his
cunning intention .His discovery led to the invasion of Spain in South America
people like Herman Cortez used this opportunity to rule and rob Latin America
of their resources. The two centuries of human oppression in Latin America
actually produced the variety in Spanish .AS we see the different accent in
different Latin American countries and also a distinct difference of
pronouncing the same words in Spain and Latin America.
The French
Revolution
The French revolution was a slow build up of accumulated
anger in the common people. The French monarch king Louis spends lot of money
in international Wars and his extravagant lifestyle and this resulted in heavy
debt in the French society. The lavish life of the French clergy led to the
revolt as common people had to do forced labor and there was little money for
them. This helped in the growth of new
extremist leaders like Robespierre .The revolution had serious outcome as the
French monarch was killed and Napoleon rose to power.
The purpose
of studying History when learning foreign language
Learning a foreign language means you are
introducing yourself to another culture. Knowing where they come from and the
struggle they had to face in order to preserve their culture, the philosophers
their struggle to spread the modern thinking in man all actually summed up as
the language you are studying. When learning a foreign language not only means mastering the language but also having a
profud knowledge of the culture and aspects of the society. Only speaking a
language or writing is not enough until one knows the history of the people who
speak. Learning a foreign language with the help of a language teacher in a
coaching institute means you are getting help of a trained professional in all
aspects of exposing yourself to this language. So history and language go hand
I hand as without history a language could not have formed.
