The issue of the difficulty of learning the English language obsession haunts of students, teachers and parents alike; In order to link this language most modern sciences such as computer, which represents the language of the age, as well as the world's most widespread language, but also linked to most postgraduate courses which have become the dream of generations at the present time.

Opinions varied on the reasons for the difficulty of the English language, Some believe that the problem lies in the lack of teacher qualifications true for teaching this universal language, while others think that the lack of physical and mental preparedness of students is the real reason behind this problem, Some went to teach English from the middle stage is the proposal to start late and taught from the third grade is considered successful treatment of this issue.

Others argue that learning English language learning begins Territories through videos, and using this technique side of the English language education at the primary stage.

It may be the teacher studied in a European country and therefore apply to study abroad, leading to pupils learning proper English language, and must be keen on explaining the importance of language learning for students, because it is important weapon in the face of obstacles life.

Exercise and speak in an exemplary way to learn English is the main gateway to the world's information.
There is no doubt that the provision of qualified teachers with a high level of expertise and experience, help the student to absorb the best of what recipients in general, particularly English language, as it should be English language curriculum easy and simple and interesting even liked student.

Some believe that the difficulty of learning the English language due first to lack of focus with the teacher during the session, and the second reason the absence of the student or student without excuse, has attracted some of the lessons, including English language, and accumulate it difficult words and become a real beginning for the lack of desire in learning.

And others say that the proper choice is the main gateway for the education of the English language, it caused due to the language that we must begin to study the language easy words to that must be the beginnings of language easily understood words with the lack of focus on the scientific things difficult.

It must be learning English vocabulary reality of life around us and the environment to facilitate learning the language for the learner; Because the person who enters the school is now able to speak the language schools has been previously difficult for students to know the language and the means of education is not good, This issue deserves to be highlighted more broadly.

It must allocate longer periods of conversation is important for learning language, curriculum Everything depends on learning the language in terms of oral examinations and learn the language and this is not only the best way to learn the language, it must introduce a substantial period of dialogue it is a basis for learning any language.
We cannot graduate students had studied English for years and cannot speak a single word of them.

It may be neglecting the family of the student and lack of follow-up by the school sometimes cause weakness in the English language student in addition to the lack of continuous review of the student.

In the end, we can say that learning English is not difficult at all, provided that the desire to, and education in itself, not a means, we are all witness to the era of communications and information revolution, and all the activities of life now requires a good knowledge of the rules of the English language, as the most widespread language in the world.

Published by a national newspaper in Syria, a feature on French Language Education in stages first seminar, examination views of some students, who pointed out that: a French language in the beginning, a strange and difficult comparison in English, the teacher does not speak French only, and could not help parents because they often do not know French and Tutorials is expensive and cumbersome.

The parents crossing their desire that the introduction of this article to the curriculum more carefully, and be taught the best way interest, and suggested to be taught in the initial stages, as in private schools, They must take care that the level of language teaching so as not to require their children to private lessons are exhausting parents with limited income, especially if the number of Sons is not small.

The teachers said that most students would have difficulty in learning the French language as a new language, education imposes speak during the seminar share, and added, "to deliver the idea to the students use several methods such as those ranged contortion act and play or fee, and if not find these roads have to use Arabic," noting that the level of the students, this language is low.

The educators that the child can distinguish between languages since micro through dialogue and discussion, but what is happening in our schools is to follow the methods in the teaching of languages not achieve their objective because the student doesn't learn from listening and speaking only, Language learning from dialogue, discussion and follow-up either at home or school and have more opportunity to learn if one parent mastered the language and talking to the child.

And the newspaper end with meeting of some top French language in the Ministry of Education, who reported that the Ministry of Education is working on the education of both English and French languages for students in a gradual, as adopted in the teaching of advanced chains synchronizing programs to train teachers in effective methods and the use of modern techniques.

The newspaper concluded account a range of factors which might make many parents and students are pointing the teaching of the French language, namely that the integration of the French language in the educational curricula was not as carefully thought out plan, Inferred the low number of teachers that language, and this was the result of poor planning continued for many years, in addition to the closure of a number of teacher training institutes that were beyond small numbers of French language teachers, and the existence of schools in many villages without French language teacher.

And my personal opinion that there is no other language difficult and easy, we have all born naturally has the talent to learn languages; Proof of this is that we have learned our Arabic easily when we were children, before we went to school. This talent remains with us as long as we are alive.

Why people find it difficult when they learn a particular language? Because they often follow the wrong methods, incorrect books and studying hard, complex and difficult to learn words rarely reflected in the daily life during regular talk with the others, and never use this natural talent for language study.

Also to learn more than one language enhances brain power of the human person, especially among school children in the first stages, provided that does not affect the mother tongue, the brain chemical changed - and the proportion of cells growing interdependence between-whereas learn or remember something new .. However, this process has reached a stage of saturation and become difficult and slow as we age.

The studies pointed out that the learning of languages would support cognitive flexibility to the child and that would create awareness among children that it is possible to express ideas, which revolve never in different ways, in addition to the practical value of being able to communicate with diverse groups of people.

Became extremely difficult languages such as Arabic, Chinese attract an increasing number of students of ordinary Americans after they had been confined to a limited number of researchers, experts and professionals. "Qin Yang" said Chinese language teacher in the College of Graduate Studies at the American Department of Agriculture, which "many people have felt that learning the Chinese language is necessary in various areas because of the importance of China's political and economic international forums.

The School of the Ministry of Agriculture professional presents training courses for staff and professionals from the federal government, local governments and state governments throughout the country.

Chen said in an interview with The Washington Post, "that some studies Chinese language because of the sense of nosy to learn the cultures and languages of other peoples."

She said Lindsay Benson, a student in the department of social sciences in the College of Higher Studies of the American University in Washington; it is studying the Chinese language to be able to conduct research in China more easily. The bulletin Benson Washington that intensive studies "is the best way to learn the Chinese language". As teachers, in this situation, do not use the English language only rarely allowing the students apply what they had learned from the Chinese language in addition to developing faster understanding of the use of dialect which they will encounter in China.

Fatima El-Deek the school Arabic language in college eligibility to North Virginia said "That because the Middle East has become a prominent theme in American foreign relations, it has taken on more Americans learning Arabic."

She stressed that many of the students are professionals interested in learning the language in order to obtain employment opportunities in the areas of business, legal and security. "But she added that "there are many students from the second generation of Arab Americans who want a better understanding of their heritage and ethnic roots."

As Michael Andrews, the expert in the field of information technology in Washington, he had spent one year studying Arabic language in the evening to prepare for a personal trip to the region. Andrews reported that the three sessions, which he included a wide variety of students aged between 20 and 60 years. He said, "Some of them learn Arabic to carry out relevant American government, however, many students are interested in learning more about Arab culture and the Middle East in general.

"The image remained in the minds of the American people for decades they are not interested in learning any language other than English. Was supposed to be the owner of these stereotypical says to himself that the other peoples of the world to learn English. What's proposal to make every effort and the struggle to learn a foreign language? The reality is that learning a foreign language was for many Americans in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s of the last century, a great struggle. It underwent many Americans to a system of tedious lessons in classrooms and then spend long hours prisoners "language laboratory" listening the foreign language tapes.

But all these things have changed. It stimulated innovative educational curricula and training programs interactive-expensive by the computer and increasing the possibilities for travel and viewing the world from a broader perspective, the Americans, young and the elderly, the demand for learning foreign languages.

It increased the momentum turnout, National Security Language Initiative launched by President Bush recently. This initiative will use the resources of the four government agencies to achieve a significant increase in the number of Americans who are fluent in the languages which are needed such as language, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Farsi, Russian and other languages. Bush said in a speech in January 5 in International Education Summit that such "broad initiative" to promote the country in the areas of defense, diplomacy and intelligence, in addition to strengthening knowledge about other cultures.

The initiative will sow the seeds of national security language in fertile soil; a study has updated the modern languages in the year 2003, associations strengthen its scientific study and teaching of language and literature throughout the world, the number of American students who are out to study a foreign language, of 1.4 million students, more than ever. It also found that American colleges and universities provide a greater variety of language courses than in any of their previous five years.

In the past was optionally to study of a foreign language in the American education system in middle and high school in American schools, but the people today's increasingly demanding foreign language education for their children in nurseries, even before entering school. According to an article published in the "Education Week" in 2004, a prestigious newspaper dedicated to workers in the field of education, the parents want their children to be the definition of foreign cultures and traditions at an early age while maintaining their ethnic origin.

The competition for jobs is another reason to rush to learn foreign languages. The transfer of the same newspaper article "Education Week" already noted expert on foreign language programs and international education in the circle of education in the state of Georgia, Elizabeth Webb, saying: "I think that what will happen, sooner or later, is that people become aware of the number of jobs we export abroad, because people in other countries have mastered the English language is excellent." She added that the inability of many Americans, who spoke a foreign language, is becoming "weak point disadvantage when competing on the jobs.

On the other hand, the Americans are also older in the study, and success in learning foreign languages. While some researchers believe that the mastery of foreign languages easier on the children than on adults, there are scholars disobeys opinion.

The Authors of "How to become more successful students of languages" John Rubin and Irene Thomsen have written: "There is hardly any evidence that child in language classes to learn foreign languages better than adults (which straddle fifth years of age) in the ranks of similar."

They added that adults have a better memory, the existence of better ways to organize their knowledge, as show the ability to focus for longer periods and study habits better and greater capacity to deal with complex mental tasks. But Rubin and Thompson added that children are not being afraid to commit an error.

Many retired Americans today that they have enough time to learn a foreign language. Many of these retirees are able to physically travel to foreign countries and they want to be able to read the regulations in restaurants and catering students and the request directions to reach somewhere and talk though slightly with the country's people in their own language. On the other hand, wants American Others older, Were came of migrants, in renewing links ethnic cultural heritage in the country of origin through their family learn that perhaps failed to absorb in childhood. It stimulates the age of fifty years of age or older to learn foreign languages is also evidence that learning a foreign language may have provided the type of mental stimulation, which avoids injury endemic diseases affecting the brain Alzheimer's.

Above all this is that there are more resources for the study of foreign languages and teaching methods have become more interesting. Educating children, for example, foreign languages are through songs and Strophes jingles, games and television programs. The university students they can choose to live in the buildings for students Binge impose full language; they had to Train to use that language daily in spontaneous familiar positions without even board a plane, not to mention traveling to a foreign country.

The software provides cost-prohibitive for students learning foreign languages quickly, which resonates with them. Offers many compact discs for training in foreign languages for students registering their voices and compare the way to pronunciation for the word or phrase and the way people breathed those mother tongue for the same floor. Include programs images and language exercises, tests and interactive games make learning enjoyable is the temptation of doing it.

President Bush said on the last January "to learn the language is a welcome gesture. It is a gesture of attention. A fundamental way to reach out to another person and say to him, that you care. "The President also stressed that the best way to talk with others about the values of freedom and democracy are universal in their coverage.
