Lines: 18 *** I read a newspaper interview with Berlitz, who is famous for the language courses for businesspeople. He is polylingual. He said when he grew up his mother, father, and grandmother all spoke different languages to him and to their friends. He thought they were all speaking one language and that he had to speak with different accents to get each of them to understand. He says that it was his own personal experience that makes him such a big proponent of total immersion for language teaching. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny - Personetics @ (408) 425-0382 109 Torrey Pine Terr.
