OMGAKITTY Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 you'll get used to to after a while. It's always weird at the beginning (I've seen it happen with some people) What I meant was, say you natively speak German. And you want to teach a language in, say, France. But the language you want to teach is Japanese. That's a little weird. Normally, you teach your native language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 yeah for involving 3 languages. All the ones I've seen involve two and that's it. Otherwise it just becomes too much to handle all at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGAKITTY Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 The second you start teaching them to write (which, coincidentally, is one of the first things you do in Japanese), they'll figure something is up. And even if you disregard writing, most people have enough exposure to the world to tell the difference between European and Asian languages... If you taught French students say...Russian, instead of German, they might not catch on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
