Lucy,
Explanation:
I would not like you to misinterpret me.

Learning is a many-sided process and it requires that you get interested in what you are learning.

Leaning a language, is much more than learning isolated words.
Are you american? If so, imagine the poor opinion you would have of me if I talked to you and I went: Lucy, book, pencil, mexican, wow, go, come, red, country. Phew!

To learn a language you have to do it in a MEANINGFUL way. With contexts. With stories. If those contexts are meaningful enough, you will not need to ask anybody, not even a dictionary, how you can say Mexican or Dutch in spanish.

I am sure your teachers are not aware of your problem.. Talk to them and you will see that learning is a good thing and it can also be great fun. I was a teacher myself for many years,... and you bet I am right!

Good luck!

Lucy,


Explanation:
Don't you think that if you continue to ask questions you will never learn how to learn?

Talk to your teacher, please.

Best of luck,
