外国語は勉強しますか。それとも習得しますか。習得？習って得るものですか？そうです。手ぬぐいを巻いて、机に向かって一所懸命勉強しなくても、言語を習得することが出来ます。その言語を習得する過程について話したいと思います。子供は自然に周りの人と接しながら、遊びながら母国語を習得しますね。その子供が使う過程は大人でも使えます。日本人の子供は勉強して日本語を話し始めることはないでしょう。お母さんなどと日常生活をしながら、遊びながらごく自然に覚えてしまいます。

A Little Extra Help
We went to America for the holidays. We spent over 3 weeks there with my parents. I was really hoping that this would get Noelle started speaking English.
The first two days on the airplane and on the road were tough for her. On the second day she was tired and rejecting English. She said to her mother, "I'm tired of Daddy's". She didn't know what to say but we knew what she meant. She was tired of everyone speaking English all of a sudden all of the time. It was difficult for her to understand and foreign. But she knew it was the same "language" that her daddy uses.
Pretty soon she became the center of attention. Everyone was trying to talk to her and everyone was trying to play with her. She started to warm up. She started trying, trying so hard, to communicate.
In the end she learned a lot of English and got started talking in English. Now she is back in Japanese mode and trying to speak Japanese to me more and more but I am resisting. We have been back now for a month. Right after we got back both Noelle and my wife were speaking a lot of English. I was so happy. They are reverting back to Japanese now. I must do something to keep up their English. We just have to speak more English at home.
