Most of us take language for granted.  It’s just something we learn when we are growing up. How often do you think about what it might be like to communicate without language? How often do you contemplate what it might be like to try and understand your surroundings and even yourself without language?

If you want to learn a foreign language or you speak more than one language, then you are in a privileged position. You have more opportunities in job sectors, you can travel more confidently and learn about different cultures by speaking to local people, and you can also consider how words work and change between different languages.

Walter Bejamin was a philosopher and intellectual who lived from 1892 to 1940 and he had some really amazing ideas about different languages and cultures.  In his essay of 1923, “The Task of the Translator” he discussed how translations of literature often underline aspects that are not so obvious in the original, and that some parts of the original just don’t translate into the target language.  This is one of the things a person learning a new language will discover; there are lots of phrases that don’t have an exact equivalent in another language.

You may be asking, ‘how does this make us philosophers like Walter Benjamin was?’

Well, when you find a phrase that doesn’t really translate word for word into another language you might think about why it doesn’t.  This could lead to a better understanding of what it is we are trying to express with words. Walter Benjamin believed that the difference between languages was the key to philosophical truth. Do you think learning another language can bring you closer to understanding the way your own language works within a specific culture?

Learning by means of simulation has become a  staple of training for a number of highly important jobs in a variety of industries. Simulation allows learners to interact and experience situations virtually, thoroughly preparing them for different scenarios and bridging the gap that exists between study and actual execution.

All things considered,  wouldn’t the incorporation of situational simulation provide a great benefit for language learners?

The fact is, language is complex, and no matter how much knowledge you can attain through reading or assimilation, the real challenge exists in putting it to use in real life situations. Sure, you can learn foreign words and basic language concepts through fill in the blank exercises and connecting pictures to vocabulary, but how do these practices help learners when it comes to application? The truth is, these methods should be mere pieces to the constructs of a language teaching method rather than the foundation.

Think about learning a language in comparison to driving a car. You can learn how to read, write and comprehend a language, just like you can learn how to start, steer and mind traffic laws, but there is no substitute for actually driving on the highway. Situational simulation has the ability to place students in the driver’s seat and assure them that they not only understand language, but that they’ll know how to use it when the time comes.

Have you noticed that some of the  most “POPULAR” language learning programs are suddenly getting on board the 21^st century train and offering live online learning?

Learning a language online in the comfort of your own home with the assistance of a teacher is a truly genius concept. The only problem is, developing a curriculum, finding great teachers and integrating a fully functional eLearning program with progressive technological tools doesn’t happen overnight.

Don’t be their guinea pig!

If you look closely, many of these so called “new programs” are the same old content, placed online without any gadgets or innovation to create a truly note worthy experience. Sure, they give you their program and the assistance of, for lack of a better word, a “tutor,” but what kind of progressive learning is that?

Instead of concentrating on combining features like multimedia course content, integrating virtual classrooms with useful teaching tools and supplying you with the assistance of native speaking language coaches, most programs invest all of their time and effort into convincing you that they are bringing something truly novel to the table.

With dexway, you get a language learning curriculum developed by expert linguist and the latest eLearning technology to help create the most innovative learning experience ever available.  The difference between dexway and the rest of the language methods currently available is that we’ve been in the elearning business for over 25 years, so we know what it takes to help students progress. Whether its multilingual assistance, charts filled with grammatical breakdowns or video simulation, dexway’s got it. And best of all, our online language coaches are true native speakers who have all the tools they need at their finger tips in order to provide you with an unparalleled learning experience.

What tools you ask?

There are many language learning methods currently available on the market, most promoting misconceptions and failing to deliver a truly effective product. Fancy wording, premium ad placement and misleading information are just a few of the tactics being used by marketers to command consumer attention and motivate potential users to purchase their language learning system. Yet, just as the ever popular sayings go, you can’t believe everything you read and you most certainly shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover.

An assortment of language learning methods and programs promise a “natural learning experience,” say they offer “the easiest way to learn language” and claim that they supply learners with live teachers to facilitate language acquisition, but the majority are really serving up empty promises. For instance, what good does a live teacher serve if a program is not equipped with the essential tools and technology to bring course work to life and facilitate the learning process? Beyond that, how can these facets of a learning program provide an effective experience if this lack of technology is combined with poor instruction?

Unfortunately, the methods that do have a little substance and muscle behind their claims come at a cringe worthy price. The saddest part is, it’s usually not because of years spent researching and perfecting the teaching method. More likely than not, that hefty price tag is there in light of all the money spent hyping and marketing the product to the public.

With dexway, all of these worries, deficiencies and exaggerations are put to rest.  The dexway method of language learning is a process which has been procured by the foremost linguists and has proven its effectiveness for over two decades.  So trust us when we say, dexway offers users the most innovative and interactive language learning experience available on the market.

dexway features highly experienced native tutors via its virtual classroom technology, including whiteboard, webcam, voice and text chat, assuring you language learning like no other method can. Furthermore, dexway is fully online and offers assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year – so when we say we’re always there, we mean it!

Lastly, dexway doesn’t base its method around one limited concept like assimilation or learning language like when you were a kid. It understands the positive aspects of these techniques and combines them with other proven tactics and attributes like interactive multimedia, multilingual assistance, in-depth explanations and voice recognition technology.

After all, if you “learn language like a child,” isn’t it likely that you’ll use it like one too?

In the near future, bilingual individuals will become some of the most sought-after candidates when it comes to employment in the US and abroad. In America, the reasons for this are drastic shifts in population and a lack of emphasis placed on attaining knowledge of a second language by a majority of its citizens. Yet, this is merely a slice of the big picture.

With the development of the internet and the world trending toward becoming a tighter knit global community, it is evident that many business will be expanding their reach and encountering customers and partners of different cultures outside of their borders and within. This means that it will be more important than ever to have properly trained employees who are able to communicate in more than one tongue, especially Spanish within the US.

On the flip side, this will create a great opportunity for immigrants who are already fluent in the language of Spanish to learn English as a second language. Doing so will not only increase opportunities for employment, but it will also open doors to higher pay and promotion.  Considering that nearly 50 percent of the US population is estimated to be comprised of people of Latin American decent by the year 2050, it is only logical that the demand to communicate with and manage relationships with that portion of the population will make a major impact on employment initiatives. These statistics, coupled with the results of a Simmons Research Study that concluded only 17 percent of the current Latino population in the US, speaks both Spanish and English fluently, creates an outlet of opportunity for immigrants and non-native speakers.

By learning English as a second language, doors will be opened in employment in a number of different regions of the job market, from sales and marketing to the manual labor force and beyond. Furthering the reason why non-native English speakers should strongly consider learning English is the ever-increasing number of countries who are adopting English as a second language. This translates into English becoming the universal language of business, and learning it, one of the smartest investments you can make.
