Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm working on learning Cree and I'm having a bit of trouble. I talk very well in English, however my pattern of foreign language learning in some ways resembles how many autistics learn their first language. I find it very easy to echo phrases back, much harder to a) link the words to meaning and remember them to use in conversations. I can count to 10 in Cree. Sequences like that are easy, and once I've memorized them I can word on retrieving the words in a meaningful setting, like counting stuff. But it's stuff that doesn't make sense to put in a rote sequence that I have trouble with, or stuff where the sequence doesn't mean much. I also tend to be much better at speaking than understanding, except in languages closely related to English (like Dutch) where I can guess meanings from the sound of the word. I'm just wondering if any of you have any advice. Ettina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
