Can Knowing How to Spell English Help With Learning Other Languages?
David Donahoo asked:
If you cannot spell very well, it can have an impact on your ability to not only spell English words but your ability to spell any words that use an alphabet. Whether this is with the English or Greek alphabet does not matter. If I can spell in one language will this help with spelling words in another language? The answer is a definite Yes.
When you have difficulty spelling you may lack confidence in yourself. When this happens the lack of confidence can stop you from trying other things like learning a new language. When you begin to learn to spell correctly your confidence will increase. Then you will feel better at trying to learn a new language.
So has does the ability to spell in English help with learning a new language? To learn any language you need to do the following: Create the habit of learning a language. To do this you need to have a reason to learn the language. Once you have a reason then you can sit down and spend time each day to learn the language. This creates a habit of learning How do you learn? This is a question I ask many people and they usually look at me blankly. They do not know how they learn, so therefore they try all methods to see if any work. The main ways of learning are: by seeing or visualising; by hearing; by writing down the details so you get the feeling of it. Often we use a combination, but there is usually one main way. As you understand what you main way of learning is you can then use it. If you are an auditory person then buying a recording of someone speaking will work for you. If you are visual then you will need a product where you can see the words and then hear them. If you need to feel the words, then buy one that you can write down the words and then see and hear them. Once you are using your main way to learn, then you will find that you can begin to learn the language more easily. However just as to be a great speller you need to use the correct techniques, which may or may not be your main way of learning, you also need to understand how to best learn a language. As a visual person I see the letters in the word, see what the picture of the word and then hear it. This builds up the association in my brain so that I can then recall the word and the meaning. Depending on the product you use will depend on what is their main style of teaching. By the way…do you want to learn how to spell so that you have the confidence in your life to learn and develop?
