- Hard to memorise new words, hard to distinguish words in a phrase of a native speaker, hard to speak myself
What is the hardest while learning a language
How important is learning grammar when you are learning a language?
- It depends, if you speak more not important that much, but if you use language for writing purposes - then really important.
- maziausiai svarbi
- very important
- Not that important. You can learn grammar by reading/listening to stuff and deducing grammar rules from it. I think grammar becomes more important only at C1/C2 level.
- Gramatika svarbu, bet manau, kad daug svarbiau žodynas
- For me - it's very important.
- very important
- You have to understand how to use it, not just learn it by rote. But anyway, words and phrases are more important than grammar, because people will try to understand you by what (words/phrases) are you saying not how (grammatically correct).
- As important as vocabulary.
- It is equally important as all the other parts (but maybe a little bit less important than speaking, vocabulary skills).
Which skill is the easiest for you?
Which skill is the hardest for you?
Should learning be communicative, or should you learn from explanations, rules, and practice exercises?
- Communicative.
- bendravimas
- all methods together
- Definitely communicative
- Manau, kad abu variantai svarbūs.
- Both
- From rules, practise and communication
- I think all of those things should be included and combined in learning.
- Communicative
- Communicative
How important is it for a student to have some responsibility for their own learning and not to rely exclusively on the teacher?
- Really important. If you want to learn language only lessons is not enough. You need to learn after school as well, prepare tasks and other stuff. But it is not so difficult - we can also learn watching movies etc.
- labai svarbu, nes jei yra motyvacijos - greiciau ismokstama nauja kalba
- very important
- Very important. If you want to learn the language, you have to be interested in it and look for other sources and other learning methods.
- Labai svarbu,nes jei pats studentas neturės motyvacijos mokytis, joks dėstytojas to nepadarys už jį ir neprivers išmokti naujos kalbos.
- very important
- You have to practice on your own all the time. It's very important, because if you don't want to learn - no one will force you to do it. And if you won't put your own efforts - you'll learn nothing.
- Very important.
- It depends on a student. If he is motivated to learn, he will study independently no matter what. If student is a lazy one, he will not try to take this kind of responsibility. So the teacher must get to know their students and watch if they need any "push" from the teachers side.
- Studentas turi mokytis ir vienas, ir su mokytojo pagalba. Vien su mokytoju neina taip gerai įsisavinti naujų dalykų.
Is it a good thing for the teacher to use your native language? Why?
- Sometimes, because it is easier to explain that students would understand main point.
- tai nera geras dalykas, nes nekalbejimas gimtaja kalba vercia persilauzti ir naudoti naujai mokomasi kalba
- I think that it is better to use language which we are learning because then it is easier to learn
- Not really. It is easier to learn language through immersion.
- Ir taip, ir ne. Naudinga,kai dėstytojas dėsto kalba, kurią mokausi, tačiau tai kartais gali sukelti ir sunkumų, nesusipratimų.
- Yes, it's good thing for me. I have one teacher who don't speak my native language and english and she can't normally tell the rules, it's hard to understand her. Other teacher speak my native language and her examples help me to understand everything very well.
- it is good for a clearer explanation
- It's good in the beginning, because it's important to understand bases and, of course, you'll understand them the best in your native language. But in higher level teacher should try to teach in the language which is taught.
- In the beginning it's ok but later it's preferable to use a foreign language. This way the students gets used to hear the language and remembers more.
- It is bad. If the teacher uses our native language, we do not put as much effort into studying foreign language as we would if he didn't do that.
