Building Structures – Online Courses

Each of the languages that I teach are made up of a certain number of structures. I remember one weekend, I was writing some lessons for the week ahead, when I suddenly realised this. I noticed that there are a certain number of structures in every language, and that every sentence follows one of these structures. I spent the rest of the weekend working out how many structures each language had, and I wrote them all down.

Once you know what all the structures are, you can begin to learn them. Every structure you learn gives you the ability to say a huge amount. Some structures are used more than others, and all the structures together make up the whole language. Once you’ve learnt all the structures, all you have to do is insert different words into the slots and you have a sentence.

These structures also help to propel you to fluency; if you can manipulate the structures at high speed, you can start to say anything you want without having to think about how to say it.
