What is your advice to someone who wants to learn your native language?
5 answers from our tutors
Best answer
Start slow and take your time, but have fun while learning. 😊
My native language is English. I would say don’t be discouraged by the technical aspects of it such as pronunciation. Continue to try, continue to read out loud and continue to engage in conversation even when you feel under equipped.
Listen for 1 hour per day and never miss a chance to practice conversation.

My advice would be to have patience. South Africa has the most official languages in the world and to be able to learn the most popular or even be in a position to understand a few frases will require a lot of patience and practice to be in a position to fully understand it.
It is fun and it is most spoken language in South Africa "IsiZulu"

The first thing to do when teaching conditionals would be to explain what conditionals are, then provide them with examples, then play a game where they need to identify the conditional, and finally have them create their own to see if they understood it
