"Those who master 3 (or more) languages
have no trouble getting through University."
Kenneth Selin(say'leen)É(eh)PC President/Party Leader

Arabic Chinese English French Russian Spanish

All languages are structurally comprehensible.
- Kenneth Selin say'leen

The human mind is "pre-equiped" to deal with auditory
signaling stimuli which it "needs" for it to develop its
language-learning ability.
- Kenneth Selin say'leen

What is the "most" effective, efficient way to learn a
foreign language? The answer to that question still
remains a mystery.
- Kenneth Selin say'leen

Beit exercising or learning, "every effort" contributes
towards building a solid foundation: however, success
is the result of "continued" effort. The lesson, then, is
this: make the effort because it's worth it - in the end.
Bear in mind, though, the results derived take some
time to manifest themselves.
- Kenneth Selin say'leen

Language Learning per se

Just like plants need water + sunshine to grow, we, humans, need stimuli.

Without "verbal" stimuli there can be no ability to talk because
there is no language learning.

The ability to talk (speech) refers to the performance aspect of language; the other aspect is competence: our knowledge of the language gained through reading+writing. Greater our knowledge of the language, the greater our ability is to better say the things we want to say.
- Kenneth Selin say'leen

While doing my B.Ed. practicum in 1995 at Francojeunesse in Sandy Hill (where I lived in Ottawa), those in my Grade 2 class, and later, at Ste-Geneviève in Gloucester, those in my Grade 5 class, who had 3 languages were way ahead in "all" suject matters.

And when I taught my Grade 5 class a few easy words in Mandarin and Spanish, only those who had 3 languages, everyone, remembered every word.
- Kenneth Selin say'leen

At the University of Ottawa, I studied 11 languages: I earned a B.A.(Spanish) and a B.A.(Italian) magna cum laude; I completed half the B.A.(German) program.

And I'm only missing a 1/2 course for my B.A.(Linguistics).
- Kenneth Selin say'leen

Working in 3 or more languages
makes for a strong memory:
the stronger your memory is,
the easier it is for you
to learn+remember.
