When I (Janet) say that I teach language and culture learning at the Missionary Training Center, I’m often asked what languages I teach. \u00a0It’s probably hard to realize that we don’t teach one particular language here. \u00a0We basically show people how to learn a previously unwritten language (and any other language, for that matter.) \u00a0So it’s interesting. \u00a0In the process, though, the students DO get some practice learning a couple languages, depending on who’s available that speaks another language fluently. \u00a0This year my small class of 4 worked on Korean for 14 class periods. \u00a0Again, our purpose wasn’t to learn Korean, but to learn what’s currently believed to be the best way to learn another language. \u00a0It was tough because of the pronunciation and the grammar (it’s supposedly one of the hardest languages for an English speaker to learn!) \u00a0But I was really proud of my students…they did great! \u00a0And I believe they all realize that they can, in fact, learn another language (or two or three!). \u00a0Click on the link below this paragraph if you’d like to hear how to make tea (in Korean). \u00a0It’s still almost unbelievable to me that after only about 10 hours of practice, they can understand what she’s saying! \u00a0It works! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyway, it’s a great way to end the semester. \u00a0Now we have a month-long Christmas break, then we’ll come back and start right off with some pretty tough classes. \u00a0The first two months of their next semester is intense, to say the least. \u00a0Please pray for them and for us teachers that we’ll do the best we can to get the concepts across. We do all this to help get the Gospel out to where it’s never been taught. \u00a0Click around this website to see how you can be involved.\"What<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
