"Hello my name is Hakeem Lavelle I am here on behalf of Expert Village to do a how to video on teaching a foreign language. Teaching a foreign language has many challenges to it. One of the challenges is a mental challenge. Sometimes by the instructor or sometimes by the student. What do I mean by mental challenge by the instructor? The mental challenge by the instructor is that he has to convince the student that he can do and the mental challenge on a student is that he has to except that. It could be done and this instructor is going to help me do it. In my experience I have thought Arabic and I have thought French, and I have thought Spanish to people. Here are the differences. Teaching French and Spanish is a tab bit easier because the characters are the same. What do I mean by characters? I mean roman script. It is still roman script like let me give you a example bicycle in English. Bicicleta in Spanish. Relativity both words are related to each other there is a comfort zone there. Where in Arabic it is completely different. The characters are different meaning the script is completely different and the sounds are different it sounds like nothing like English. The first thing that you think in your mind is oh my God I can't do this and you teach somebody about one letter and how they are pumped. I can do this. Thank you for watching."
