ACTFL's Lead with Languages Campaign

Both speakers made very valid points, and I was surprised to find that the first video, about learning a language in six months, matched up to some of my previous experiences to a scary degree. I especially appreciated the idea of relevancy that he talks about. Even now, after so long, there are certain ‘beginner” aspects and vocabulary that I struggle with remembering, like things to do with time and small talk. I was always frustrated that more simple things would completely slip my mind but harder topics, like with the Tohoku project last semester came much easier, but it makes sense when I think about my use into every day language and how much more interested I...
