I wish to turn my knowledge on this topic into an infographic, but after 2 wks doing some research and investigation, it seems beyond my current skill, then I decide to write my findings down here, simply in text :)
1) Diffrent language takes different times to master, Western languages (English, Spanish, French) are easier to learn than Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc). The minimum required time is about 600 hours or 44 wks to acquire Spanish (to English speakers). You can find more information in this topic at Voxy's infographic
2) We can change the way to learn English thanks to the explosion of Language Technologies and EdTech companies. I will list them by categories:
- Vocabulary: iAnki, Brainscape, Voxy
- Listening: Podcast, Internet,
- Communication: Verbling, italki, playsay
- General: Duolingo,
My current favourite apps includes: {Brianscape, italki, Podcast}because I care more communication, rather than reading or writing, and they have iOS version.
