It’s Learning Jim, But Not As We Know It
March 27, 2008
“Dammit Jim, they can’t understand you. Speak to them in their own language.”
Kirk, Spock and Bones had it easy didn’t they? It seemed that every alien they met spoke English or was a telepath. In fact Spock’s English was fluent as was that of all Vulcans.
OK, I know it would have been difficult for the storylines but couldn’t they have wriiten in a Translation Gizmo ( like the Babel Fish in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series and film)?
In the real world too there is a certain arrogance at times when many English speakers expect every other nationality to have a good knowledge of our language. The poorest, uneducated peasant in the poorest country is expected to be bi-lingual. Doesn’t seem fair does it?
In the past learning a new language, especially for adults, was a chore and very hard work (what with our poor memories and busy lives) but with the advent of Audio language courses, such as those we promote here on Language Rocket, learning languages online or off has never been simpler or more effective. The testimonials received don’t lie……

“I would not have had the success that I did were it not for the having taken the course….Rocket French!” PH, Texas,USA
“Rocket Spanish is really so friendly and comfortable and it was a perfect match for the way I study” P.S. Florida, USA
