Special Attention





Favoritism isn’t in my collection of lexes. There’s a huge difference between the one people always label a “pet” or the one I call every single day “grace”. Don’t we all need a special attention in different ways?

 If an educator is sensitive enough to a learner’s need and struggle, a day is too long enough to figure out. In a world where self-learning is a struggle–even simple things are considered outlandish–then it’s my responsibility as a teacher to make each little thing wonted. That’s when I give a special care to whoever that needs it–a must!

My Language Recipe





Just an assumption, not every intelligent being is bilingual or multilingual. Quite the reverse–one doesn’t have to be a genius to learn languages. But I’m buying the idea that having the intellect is a plus factor–wish I had the dexterity. Glad I’ve known that it’s not all about adeptness in speaking other tongues. And so I used my resourcefulness. 

If language learning is paralleled to preparing a dish, my recipe then would be: diligence, creativity, passion alongside with persistence–not so much with cleverness. Some are endowed with brains, but are monolinguals; some aren’t, yet they are linguists.
