Wed, 26 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Why Learning L2 is Harder Than L1 Over the past two years, as part of an international community, I've had the pleasure of meeting people from all over the world.

Table of Contents So why is learning L2 so much harder than L1? L2 is challenging to learn, especially for older adults. This makes L2 very hard to use spontaneously in certain situations.

Learners of a second language may, for example,...  [Read more]

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How Do British and American English Differ? G.B. Shaw said, 'England and America are two countries separated by a common language.'

Hence, the language spoken in Great Britain became the British English and the language spoken in the United States became American English.
