A foreign language is a language indigenous to another country. It is also a language not spoken in the native country of the person referred to, i.e., an English speaker living in Guam can say that Chamorro is a foreign language to him or her. These two characterisations do not exhaust the possible definitions, however, and the label is occasionally applied in ways that are variously misleading or factually inaccurate.
Some children learn more than one language from birth or from a very young age: they are bilingual or multilingual. These children can be said to have two, three or more mother tongues: neither language is foreign to that child, even if one language is a foreign language for the vast majority of people in the child's birth country. For example, a child learning English from his English father and Irish at school in Ireland can speak both English and Irish, but neither is a foreign language to him. This is common in countries such as India, South Africa, or Canada due to these countries having multiple official languages.
Over the past five years, writer Ellen Jovin has serially studied 18 languages on her own, outside a classroom setting, while relying on widely available teach-yourself resources. She has supplemented these studies by using New York — one of the most multilingual cities in the world — as a language-learning lab. In this Hangout Ellen will debunk common myths that prevent people from starting a new language, while also discussing strategies attendees can use to teach themselves, on their own time and in ways that best suit their individual learning styles. Questions encouraged!

Can sitcoms be used in the classroom to teach English as a foreign language? For what reasons? In this video, I try to answer these questions and give examples for how sitcoms can be integrated into foreign language teaching.

This video is purely for sleep relaxation purposes. I use a language that is foreign to everyone - it is made up and will make no sense to listen to. Just focus on the voice rather than the words for best effect. Using headphones is a must to benefit from the panning audio techniques. I forgot to turn the bass down in editing, sorry if it bothers you. Download Mp3: http://www.mediafire.com/?4u559qbsgz7iadz Join us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002608828064
