One of the most recommended ways to use
Catch Questions is learning foreign language. Of course, you can learn your
first language by using Catch Questions. It is intended to be used for studying
any language. As Japanese, I wanted to some App like this for studying English
when I was student but there was no App that I really wanted at that time. So
that is why I came up with the idea that I should make the App someday by my
self.
The language skill is generally
categorized as Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. But, what is the most
weak point for us to learn foreign language? For Japanese, it was thought to be
that studying Speaking is the most difficult. There may be some reason of our
culture and country back ground about this problem. For example, there is
little opportunity to meet foreigner in Japan or almost no chance to use
foreign language except through Internet. I have studied English at least for
20 years but I still fell the weak point to tell the truth. Many of Japanese
who never lived in foreign country like me might feel it as I.
However, for my opinion, I think the most
important problem is the educational structure of ours. I mean in typical
educational school, students are being scored by some test to evaluate who is
superior or not. How about your country? And, it is difficult to score someone’s speaking skill. For positive point
of the view, without the evaluation of speaking skill, it may become a equal
examination for anybody because it is easily affected by personal judgement. On
the other hand, if we continue this education, the adults who cannot speak well
will definitely increase.
Then, how important is the speaking skill
for us? Most of adults at least in Japan may see it is not so important because
of the educational background. However, in these 4 skills of language, which
one did you acquire at first from your birth? Is there any baby who cannot
speak but can listen, read or write? I
have to admit the speaking skill is the most fundamental from them. And, why I
mentioned this so much is that most of our creative idea comes with speaking.
You may not do oral speaking but at least you speak something in your mind when
you come up with some unique idea. So, that is why I hope you to review the
importance of speaking skill. I actually came up with the idea of Catch
Questions by continuing speaking in my mind. If you acquire several languages,
the potential will doubled or tripled.
Now, let me show you how to study
speaking on Catch Questions. First of all, don’t speak by rote. While speaking, I recommend you not to see the
sentence but to see the image. Some keywords to increase your idea may be
acceptable but the sentence of your mind will decrease your creative speech.
Who speaks your first language seeing some sentence in your ordinary
communication? In addition, human memory with some image tend to be stronger in
your mind than with some sentence. You may afraid of some errors while speaking
but I believe the error or the different expression is always the origin of your
creation. I would like you to record the creation with Catch Questions.
From the repeat study of speaking like
this, you will acquire your own words from various language. And, the more you
learn languages, the more chance you will get for your life.
Hope to see your creative speech!
