[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as I can tell, Arlington never ever ever teaches parts of speech, which seriously undermines learning other languages. My kid is in German, and I have had to teach some grammar to get him through it. [/quote] That's the best and usual way to learn parts of speech in English, when learning another language.[/quote] Absolutely this. I was taught English grammar in elementary and middle school 35-40 years ago, but it wasn't until I began studying French that it all clicked into place. Especially things like the conditional tense. (And the mangling of the conditional in English is one of my biggest pet peeves, lol.)[/quote] Conditional is not a tense. Maybe that's the problem. [/quote]
