To learn Dutch? Is it easy? 5 Tips

To lean Dutch? Is it easy? 5 Tips Before students start learning Dutch they often want to know if Dutch is easy to learn. My answer is always: Yes, it is! Here are my 10 reasons why Dutch is an easy language to learn. 1. Dutch is from the same family as English and German English students frequently say to me that Dutch is  the easiest language to learn. It makes sense because  Dutch  is part of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family of languages, just like English.  And if you compare it to another language of that family, German, it’s much easier. For example, it doesn’t include all those strange grammatical cases. 2. You already know Dutch words Maybe you didn’t realize it but you probably speak a little Dutch already. A lot of English words were initially used in… The Netherlands. The Dutch colonists were amongst the first settlers to set foot in America in the 17 th  century and of course they brought with them everyday Dutch wo...

Arabic - Are Duolingo’s Arabic lessons useful for learners?

Are Duolingo’s Arabic lessons useful for learners? DUBAI: Duolingo, an online language-learning portal with over 300 million users, recently added Arabic to its course offerings. Luis von Ahn, a Carnegie Mellon University professor, launched the app along with Severin Hacker with the aim of creating a free language-learning platform in 2012. But with Arabic categorized as one of the “super hard” languages by the US Foreign Service Institute due to its complex grammar, varied dialects and rich lexicon, are the app’s “game-like lessons” enough - or even useful - for a learner? Hope Wilson, a learning scientist at Duolingo, wrote in an essay on the official website on June 26, 2019, that just because a language is difficult to learn doesn’t make it “un-learnable,” “After all, babies can learn to speak any language on earth - and so can adults, given enough time and effort,” he said. In theory, Wilson sounds right. But as Muhamed Al-Khalil, director ...
