	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.
