Language plays an important role in communicating your thoughts and feelings.
You can’t convey your message unless you can speak or write. You can’t understand others unless you can listen and read. Languages have a wonderful power, which can make your human relationships and social life better or worse.

Learning a language is not about memorizing grammar and hundreds of items of vocabulary. It is about learning to convey your message. Have you ever had these thoughts?:‘I can’t speak because of my lack of vocabulary’, or, ‘I keep silent because I am too scared to make a mistake’. Be aware that it is you who is continuously checking your mistakes. These thoughts will disappear when you become aware of the real objective of language, which is to convey your message. At La Lingua, we will elicit and develop your ability to have a smooth social life and human relations in the English-speaking world. We have had elderly students and deaf students who were challenged in their learning of languages, yet were successful in their language study. Even if you can’t hear or speak well, you can start language learning, as long as you have ‘something to say’.
 We also pay attention to the difference between ‘not being able to speak’ and ‘not having things to talk about.’ You may find yourself not being able to socialize at parties or at the dinner table. You don’t know what to talk about, or can’t find common topics. This is not a problem caused by language proficiency, but by the lack of interpersonal communication skills and general knowledge. At La Lingua, we make use of up-to-date materials and topics, in order to grow your interests in many fields, broadening your viewpoints as an international citizen, while we teach interpersonal skills and techniques, to establish smooth human relationships and social life. |
