Pregunta: Estoy buscando un programa o calendario para organizar de forma eficiente el aprendizaje de inglés, me explico un poco: ¿cómo organizar las tareas? ¿cuánto porcentaje/tiempo debo dedicar a practicar listening/grammar/writing? ¿debo hacerlo una vez por semana, o conviene escuchar todos los días aunque sean 10 minutos? ¿primero gramática? ¿cuánta gramática por día/semana? ¿cuánto peso real tiene la memorización de la gramática en el aprendizaje? Practicar la escritura ¿cuánto, cómo? Nota: de momento poseo suficiente tiempo libre. Esther ************Respuesta: De una u otra manera, esta pregunta ya la he contestado varias veces en este blog.
Pero como veis, Esther (nombre ficticio) me la vuelve a preguntar. ¿Por qué? Porque todo el mundo necesita una receta específica. Es igual que una dieta para perder peso. Lo cierto es que no puedo darle una respuesta plenamente satisfactoria sin hablar con ella y saber a ciencia cierta de qué pie cojea. Planteamiento de los problemas 1. La motivación.

We’ve made it! We have arrived in Germany! Let the German language and culture bath begin! After waiting in the Seattle airport for our flight… (My children watch the planes take off and land in the Seattle airport. Germany, here we come!) And checking last minute email with free wi-fi in the Seattle airport… (My husband caught me checking last minute emails in the Seattle airport. We flew the friendly skies and arrived in lovely, lovely, lovely northern Germany, home to my husband’s mother, sister, brothers, aunts, uncles and numerous friends. We sleep in my husband’s childhood home, walk in fields where his family’s dairy cows used to roam and mow the grass in the back yard where he played as a child with his siblings… (Here my oldest son helps mow the back yard lawn with his uncle.
…and we are made happy with the food that Oma prepares for us each day (there is no comparison to real German food!). (Oma’s food is the best in the world!) The Cost of Multilingualism & Multiculturalism. Let’s Encourage all Kids to Learn Another Language. I was one of those very lucky kids who attended a dual language immersion school. Although I moved around a lot as a child — living in 5 countries in 3 continents by the time I was 14 — I spent five solid years at my mother’s alma mater back in Peru and I was instructed mostly in English from 4th to 8th grade. As far as I remember, I only had a handful of courses, including Historia and Geografía del Perú, in Spanish. The rest of my school days were spent immersed in English in a Spanish-speaking country.
By the time I entered 5th grade, my private school required all its students to take up a third language. I chose French, but I could’ve chosen Italian or German just as easily.

And then, I only needed two years of this foreign language in order to graduate. {Photo via Fiona Bradley} How to Prepare Spanish-dominant Kids for English-only School. Ask my mother-in-law about U.S. Geography and she throws her hands up in defeat. In her elementary school, geography was taught in the third grade — the year she arrived from Cuba.
Instead of memorizing state capitals, she was busy learning a new language, culture and city. Academically, third grade was a bust. I’ve been thinking a lot about that story recently as I prepare to send my youngest to a preschool. He’s a rambunctious child whose English vocabulary is limited to the Scooby Doo theme song. (And ‘shut-up,’ but nobody is claiming that one!) The one time we left him with someone other than our regular babysitter — while on vacation in Georgia — he wailed. (Me: #motheroftheyear #winning) I am hoping his first day at school won’t be a repeat. Intellectually, I know kids are resilient, and pick up languages quickly. He is a spitfire who won’t be ignored. So I called my friend, Dr.
Here’s her advice for kids entering a classroom dominated by a language not their own:
