Languages

Language is the principal means used by human beings to communicate with one another. A prominent characteristic of language is that the relation between a linguistic sign and its meaning is arbitrary. Spoken human language is composed of sounds that do not in themselves have meaning, but that can be combined with other sounds to create entities that do have meaning. Language also is characterized by complex syntax whereby elements, usually words, are combined into more complex constructions, called phrases, and these constructions in turn play a major role in the structures of sentences.
Language acquisition, the process by which children and adults learn a language or languages, is a major field of linguistic study. Young children have certain innate characteristics that predispose them to learn language. Children acquire whatever language is spoken around them, even if their parents speak a different language.
Whereas children experience little difficulty in acquiring more than one language, after puberty people generally must expend greater effort to learn a second language and they often achieve lower levels of competence in that language. People learn second languages more successfully when they become immersed in the cultures of the communities that speak those languages. People also learn second languages more successfully in cultures in which acquiring a second language is expected, as in most African countries, than they do in cultures in which second-language proficiency is considered unusual, as in most English-speaking countries.

FoundationStone - a free and easy way to learn Hebrew
FoundationStone is a FREE application and support materials designed to help you learn Hebrew - an essential part of a Jewish education. The "Online Hebrew Tutorial" is available as part of the download - a complete, condensed set of language lessons to learn Hebrew. It can also be browsed online - see the links at the bottom of this page.

This program is aimed at the beginning, intermediate and advanced adult language student, without compromise to any one level. By recording which words you are getting wrong and reviewing those words more frequently, the program adapts your program of study to your individual needs. Contrast this to the standard method of learning using lists of words on paper - the words you already know get the same attention as words you don't. Words can be reviewed from English to Hebrew or Hebrew to English, and reviewed in random order so you are not remembering them from their position in the list. Statistics are provided and allow you to set personal goals for each session.

This application is not ideally suited for teaching young children - there are many reasonably priced commercial programs available that present the language material in a manner that stimulates children to learn.
