Brainstorming brainstorming brainstorming!

Yep, it's that time again. No, not the one where we go "holy crap, how is the month half over already?"

Okay, it might be that one too. But it's also brainstorming-post time. Don't forget, all previous ideas are available for you to look over too.

Watch me not even try to one-up willbedone on coming up with a cohesive witty theme for this post.

Re: General Ideas

I do know that one of the reasons foreign language classes are taught (at least in US schools) is to give kids a better sense of how language works; it's an entirely different thing to speak a language natively than it is to learn a new one, and in learning a new language you have to actually think about the various components of language. Which in turn makes it easier to pick up new ones.

So... yeah. They'd know how to listen for key words and have a better idea of how to guess at what means what.
