In this week's Grammar Talk, I get into nouns and things you may or may not know about them. Now even if you think you got this group of words down, they do vary quite a bit between languages and can go through a lot of changes. So put down your book, table, sky, bread, or any other noun you may be holding and TUNE IN!

Have you ever thought about learning a new language through one you've already learned? Well since I get tired of using and seeing my native language (English) everywhere, I will sometimes learn about other languages in Spanish. It can be a real workout for the brain, but honestly have a lot of benefits.

If you're a language teacher, or even the student taking lessons with a teacher, then you've probably been in this predicament of how much do you use and stay in the target language. Though it would seem like a simple all the time, it doesn't always work out that well for the student depending on a variety of factors. So let's put this argument to rest!

Is it common in your language to end a conversation with a word like "kisses"? Well if it is then yours contains a lot of this type of language, which may not be the case in the one you're learning. So it's time to get all cutesy and lovey-dovey!

If only it were as simple as translating a time expression like the word NOW in English to the equivalent in another language, which could be the word AHORITA in Spanish, and expecting them to be used exactly the same. Though many time expressions get used very differently between languages and it's important to understand why and how this happens.

If you're trying to come across as cool and in-the-know in a language then slang is oftentimes the way to do it. Though not necessary vocabulary, slang has its general uses, so having an awareness of it may help in whatever language you're learning.

Most languages around the world make use of formal and informal registers of speaking when you're addressing someone directly. Modern day English doesn't, but it's important to know nonetheless if you're learning a language that has these registers. So today I explain general principles for going between these different forms and how to get a grip on them even if your native language doesn't require them.

Most parents want the best for their children and want them to have opportunities in life that require them to learn certain skills, such as acquiring another language. Though I think there's good intent behind this, I don't think forcing a child to learn another language is going to be met with much success. Encouraging your child to become bilingual is a very worthwhile endeavor though, so I want to share some ideas on how to do so.

Even once you've reached fluency in a language it's important to work on your speaking stamina. Many a time have I sounded fluent for the first hour or so in a language before my skills really started wavering and I ran out of steam. So just like developing any language ability, working on how long you can speak for is fundamental.

Kate and I discuss her acquisition of the Dutch language in college and what led her to eventually teach it to other Russians like herself.

As much as I wish language learning were nothing but fun, there are times when it's not, and most language learners don't want to hear this. But I think of all the things I had to learn by doing tedious exercises and following unpleasant study routines in order to get to the next level in the language I was learning.

As important as hard work is to language learning, rest goes right along with that.

We've all said to ourselves after traveling to another country that we're going to learn the language now. And maybe some of us have tried, but very few of us have actually succeeded. Why is this the case? Wouldn't being exposed to the language in this "perfect setting" give us the motivation to learn it?

In this week's Grammar Talk, I discuss one of the biggest arguments I hear for not learning grammar in a language, which comes from native speakers not having to learn it. Though we all might agree that you will never be a native speaker in the language you're learning. That being the case, learning grammar can really improve your skills as a non-native speaker.

Whether you curse in your own language or not, it is a topic that will come up in the language you're learning. And just like knowing what these words are and how they're used in your language, it's important to know them in the other.
