Learning a European Romance Language from an Asian Perspective.

Risk, Vanessa

Language Learning Journal, n10 p55-57 Sep 1994

Discusses the experiences of a Malaysian student studying Spanish as a Second Language in an all-female Irish secondary school, focusing on common difficulties encountered by Asian students of Romance languages. It is argued that the teaching of Romance languages often unfairly presupposes a knowledge of Latin or French on the part of learners. (MDM)
