LEARNING FIRST LANGUAGE AND THE SECOND LANGUAGE

Wed, 24 May 2006 23:57:26 -0400

When we speak of certain terms such as First language, native language or mother tongue, what do we intend to say? First language is the language which the child learns first hence from its mother or Parents. It is the language a person learns first. Can we but call that person as the native speaker of the language? If the Parents speak an acquired language for example English and if they communicate that language to the child can we call that language as Mother tongue? If the native speakers speak more than one language to communicate with their neighbours who come from different place than which language can be considered as Mother tongue? Which language is native language and which language can be the first language and which language can be considered as the second language? If all of the languages are learned naturally without formal instruction, such as through cultural immersion before puberty such a language can be called as mother tongue or the native language or the first local language. Often a child learns the basics of his or her first languages from his or her family. The term "mother tongue" should not be interpreted to mean that it is the language of one's mother. In some paternal societies, the wife moves in with the husband and thus may have a different first language, or dialect, than the local language of the husband. Yet their children usually only speak their local language. Only a few will learn to speak their mothers' languages like natives. Mother in this context probably originated from the definition of mother as source, or origin; as in mother-country or land First language learners will be successful in both measurements. It is inevitable that all first language learners will learn a first language and with few exceptions, they will be fully successful. Acquiring a second language occurs in systematic stages. Much evidence has been gathered to show that basic sounds, vocabulary, negating phrases, forming questions, using relative clauses, and so on are developed. This development is independent from input (we do not hear nor read language in this order), independent from learning situation (in the classroom or on the street), The second language has been acquired after childhood age with conscious effort. Learning the second language becomes a great difficulty to the learners also because the teachers of the second language may hold a degree but not efficient in mastering the language skill.

Bodies together Minds apart

To be one in joy, sorrow and every desire
To build a happy family did they aspire?
And now why do their spirits want to retire?

Mechanical action with false surrender
Brooding over the unfulfilled desire
Carrying atom for the day entire
To explode a reason doesn’t require

Living with agony, longing to be one
Initiating a move to test if it is a fun
Wooing hidden careful to be unseen

BLISSFUL UNION

Mon, 06 Mar 2006 11:55:44 -0500

Blissful Union between the man and woman
Sweet companions united on earthy heaven
Who can measure their devotion and dedication?
Can you find joy beyond the union of man with his woman?

The dedication and devotion of a woman who can compete with her?
And if she is happy who can control her joy?
But if she is not loved, appreciated and acknowledged, who can console her/
Then if she is angry who can stop her?

PRELUDE TO THE CRATION OF WOMAN

Mon, 06 Mar 2006 11:50:44 -0500

God created man out of clay; He took some soil of colour that is beige
Out of His infinite love he shaped Him as His own likeness and image
He melted moulded, shaped contemplated and breathed into his nostrils
Thus had been the birth of the man whom He crowned with such a glory

Garden of Eden! The most beautiful earthly Paradise, green never seen
With colourful frits and flowers to sooth man to his utmost happiness

A gentle walking slow upon the Sand

With love she was caught in that cage
Anxiety, restless and burning in a rage

Birds flew back together to their cage
While I heard a chat of praying sage
