TEFL DAY 1: FIRST LANGUAGE, SECOND LANGUAGE, FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Task 1

Discuss the ease and difficulty  of learning a first, second and foreign language!

Answer

Task 1

·         I think learning first language is easy because it is language which we brought it since baby and we got it by ours around where we are living. And difficulty learning first language is not all people understand about first language because it is used as local language so that many people from other villages or cities don’t know speak it. Example when first time I arrived in malang, I don’t understand when my friends who living in here using java language. So not all people knowing first language.

·         Learning second language is easy because language is used as formal communicative and we get it after learned the first language. We are using it when we are communication with other people which from city. And difficulty learning second language is the people never communicative with people cities.

·         Learning foreign language is interesting for me, because we can know when foreigner speaks with his friends and we can understand when we are reading novel and book who using foreign language. Difficulty in learning foreign language the people never get school because the foreign language we got in the school.
