English is an important international language,but that doesn’t mean it's easy to learn.① Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn,but they weren’t always successful.

In 1930,Professor   C. K. Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages,but they couldn’t understand the answers in “real” English!It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn’t in the Basic English word list.

R.E. Zachrisson,a university professor in Sweden,decided that②对英语学习者来说最大的问题是拼写,so he invented a language with the name Anglic. Anglic was similar ③                     English,but with much simpler spelling,

“father” became “faadher” and “new” became “nue”. Unluckily,Anglic never became popular.

In the age of international communication through the Internets new form of English might appear. A large number of the world's emails are in English and include examples of “Netlingo” like OIC (Oh,I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later) . In another fifty years,English might not be used. We might all speak fluent Internetish!

Sing the Language You’re Learning How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.

Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.

“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way”’said Dr Karen Ludke. The findings may help those who have difficulty learning foreign languages. On his blog,Dr Ludke wrote ,“A listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning,and open the door for future research in this area. ”

Many language teachers know the value of using and singing. Hua Zhuying,a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington   D. C. depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says ,“I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. So it's easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work,but it is fun for the kids. ”

“Sometimes,I think if I were taught English that way,maybe I would speak much better English than now”’ Hua Zhuying adds.

Our brain likes music,especially for remembering. So,if you’re still struggling in learning a language,why not try singing it out?
