Honestly, for me to learn a new language, I think it would be best for me to relearn, English. 🤣
I joke, but in truth, in school they had this crazy idea to teach my class phonetics first. It was a dumb idea. 🙄 If you do not know what phonetic spelling is, open up a dictionary, and you will see how the word is correctly spelled and beside it how it sounds. For a simple example, "cat" you may see as "kat".
I took to phonetics very quickly and very easily. And if the English language actually was written how it sounds, I would have been just fine. It is not, and what I learned could not be unlearned.
Two (2) things happen from that experience.
First, and foremost, I am a big advocate for educators following lesson plans and not making things up on a whim. Furthermore, I believe in educators being reviewed and judged by their results and ineffective educators should not remain in their positions. Second, as a child I spent a fair amount of time needing special education, because I kept reverting to my phonetic lessons. I am thankful that I mostly recovered, but even today, I am not 100%. For example, the word "language" without a spell checker, I am nearly always guaranteed to botch (mess up). For the life of me, I cannot even commit that damn word to long term memory.
