Son of a...

Well! That language test was so nonsensical and hard because if you have to take it again, you have to pay more money! (I don't. I passed. But it looks like not every native speaker does.)

No, Canada, I don't mind that you traumatized me trying to get me to cough up a few hundred bucks more. That's totally fine. I don't mind that you're trying to milk thousands of dollars out of other immigrants who are going through much harder process than mine. That's... cool. We're cool.😠👍

Best Time to Register for PTE: Plan Ahead for Success

Timing is everything when it comes to registering for the PTE exam. To avoid any complications, register for the test at least 4-6 weeks before your preferred exam date. This timeframe allows you to adjust in case of unforeseen circumstances like full test centers or delayed preparation. Understanding how to fill PTE exam forms properly can save you from having to make corrections later. Early registration also provides enough time for potential rescheduling, so you won’t face extra charges if changes are needed.

Put the test mentality behind you

I was aware of the big problem in Japan before seeing my own children battling through it. It hinders language students from the beginning. It remains, wrongly, the criteria that companies use to gauge success.

Japan's education system is anchored around a focus on tests. Every course, every textbook is centered around the students taking and passing exams. It is very common that the children will go to cram schools called juku, where they essentially are trained the ins and outs of how to pass the tests to get to the next tier of education. And this stands in the way of their ability to actually speak the language that they speak, because schools don't set a curriculum based on activating the language they use.

This continues on to the adult level. TOEIC, the Test of English for International Communication is the standard that companies and some institutions measure people's ability to communicate. Which means that company workers are bound by a similar constraint of a system focused on the wrong thing, the ability to actually speak. I have taught students with strong TOEIC scores in the 700's (990 is best) but are unable to string together a few sentences. Similarly I have taught students in the 400's who manage to communicate consistently. It is just not the right focus.

English training, or any language for that matter, needs to be centered around a focus on actually speaking and relaying information. Classrooms need to be loud with students using the target language in structured, productive, activities. And it needs to be the students' voice you hear the most, not the teachers'. Activating and getting practical experience can help push Japan towards a stronger average level of proficiency. Japan is ranked at #87 in the world in the global English proficiency rating (LINK), which is labeled as 'Low Proficiency'. It would help to see this over-reliance on tests change from the Elementary level, but as trainers of Adult Speakers we can make a difference by giving our students every chance to speak, but ensuring that the lessons are productive and there is always a takeaway.

I should qualify that tests are not all bad. They do provide a motivation to study and some people really grow their vocabulary trying to do well in their tests. Also companies do need some way to measure people's progress, especially if they are spending money on English training programs. But the current test systems are insufficient and there needs to be a way to measure people based on their ability to communicate. I don't have the easy answer to this, but my eyes are open to how we can achieve this. Either way, for now, I am focused on improving the opportunity to speak while ensuring the students have multiple takeaways from each class.

How many Language do you know?

Knowing multiple languages has numerous benefits. Firstly, it opens up a world of opportunities for communication. When you can speak another language, you can connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds, fostering understanding and building relationships. It allows you to engage in meaningful conversations, navigate foreign countries with ease, and appreciate diverse perspectives.

Additionally, language proficiency enhances cognitive abilities. Learning a new language exercises your brain, improving memory, problem-solving skills, and multitasking abilities. It can even delay the onset of age-related cognitive decline. Bilingual individuals often exhibit greater mental flexibility and creative thinking, as they can draw from multiple linguistic systems.

Moreover, knowing multiple languages boosts employability in an increasingly globalized world. Many companies value language skills, particularly in international business and diplomacy. Being fluent in languages such as English, Japaneses, Spanish, Mandarin, Danish, or Arabic can give you a competitive edge in the job market, open up career opportunities abroad, and increase your earning potential.

Furthermore, language learning provides a deeper understanding of one's own language and culture. By comparing and contrasting different linguistic structures and expressions, you gain insights into the intricacies of your mother tongue. Learning a foreign language also immerses you in new customs, traditions, and literature, broadening your cultural horizons and fostering empathy towards others.

Lastly, studying languages is a gateway to lifelong learning. Once you master one language, it becomes easier to learn additional ones. The process of acquiring languages becomes a fulfilling journey, offering continuous personal growth and intellectual stimulation. It allows you to access a wealth of literature, music, films, and other forms of cultural expression that would otherwise remain inaccessible.

In conclusion, knowing multiple languages provides countless benefits, from enhanced communication and cognitive abilities to improved employability and cultural understanding. Embracing language learning not only broadens your horizons but also enriches your life in numerous ways.

been thinking about assistant!noah using malicious compliance to get out of singing.

good thing i didn’t know about the DLAB, the U.S. military foreign language aptitude test, till now. had i acquired that information at a plausible age, i might very well have ended up working for mfucking Defense because this is the greatest test in the world. look at it!

first of all this is gold. it’s hands down the funnest kind of question i’ve ever seen. are there prep books. does it have a name i can use to scour the internet for puzzles

but what’s amazing is that it’s authentically fucked up. janky, if you will. like, i think i can see what choices are the best of those provided, but they do not feel like great, lucid, this-is-so-obvious-now-that-i’ve-thought-it-through, rock solid answers. they feel more like, okay i’m def lost in the rain forest but yeah me and my machete are gonna head in this direction. this, uh, can you call four instances and two tentatives a corpus? this dataset is a goddamn mess. i love it. i said “authentically” because tbh that’s pretty much the flavor of the feeling i have wading chest deep into one of the trickier thickets in a real existing foreign language, albeit one with fewer actual cryptids

—

we’re dealing with wo/wohin/woher prepositions in German and it’s an overt swamp; there’s a desultory table but they obviously got demoralized and punted. drilling a lot of examples—gehen zum Arzt, sein beim Arzt, kommen vom Arzt—may be better than trying to decide rationally, in the middle of a sentence, whether the Kino is more of a building or an activity.

the feeling i get wondering why they chose a skull, specifically, for farkila in this DLAB sample question is very akin to the feeling i get about … look

if a German cat sits on a table, the table is in dative—die Katze springt auf dem Tisch—because the cat is immobile, so it’s answering a where question

if the cat jumps onto the table—auf den Tisch—it’s in accusative, because it’s answering a where-to question

but if the cat jumps off the table, that’s a where-from question, and requires dative. vom [= von dem] Tisch. this is true even though there’s motion involved, and I was told not a month ago that motion = accusative, no motion = dative, using wo and wohin examples. now that woher is here the entire fucking heuristic is broken and i feel gaslighted. how can it be that jumping onto X is accusative but jumping off X is dative?

well, they say, it’s von. von always takes dative.

ok great, two rules in conflict, i’m supposed to just know which one wins, this is like what if order of operations in arithmetic but worse

furthermoar, why vom and not aus dem? onto = auf. on = auf. off (of) = von. feels messy. also, the cat is literally still in midair, so why isn’t this like coming out of the supermarket (physically exiting it) vs coming (to some not immediately proximate place) from the supermarket? well, it’s just different, they say. it would be aus if the cat was jumping out of a container like a cardboard box. but this is a flat surface so it’s von. hope this helps

o yes thank u that helps. i am definitely going to vom

it’s not that much palpably better than farkilam jankov? it makes a kind of unsatisfactory spot sense, if you wrestle assiduously through each example and get to ask annoying questions, but like. The System Is Bad

just signed myself up for a language proficiency test a month from now so that i'm forced to study 💀

[bottombaron]

So, I'm going to either make this joke more or less funny by explaining it, Colin Robinson-style:

Nandor isn't being an idiot by misspelling 'knowledge', he's spelling it phonetically.

Why? Well, it's probably not just that English is a horrendous abomination sent by god to punish us and an even worse trail for English learners either, but Persain is a (mostly) phonetic language!

This means each letter has a corresponding sound and words are phonetic in spelling (again, for the most part), unlike 'knowledge' in English where there are like...at least three?? unnecessary extra letters.

So, what's the phonetic spelling of 'knowledge' look like?
