Learning to speak a foreign language is an adventure to open your mind to international culture and sharpen your communication skills. The language learning process should be as free and natural as it was learning your native tongue, however, many older adults display some fear and resistance to developing a new foreign language skill.The premise to building a new foreign language vocabulary is to approach the process as a word replacement drill. In English, there are many words which hold the same meaning, spelling or sounds, yet remain part of the English vocabulary. Learning a foreign language is the same process of using a word replacement for the common English version used every day.One hurdle that may discourage a new foreign language learner is the use of proper grammar and syntax.
