Keywords:
language learning, comparison method, memory, grammar, vocabulary, second language acquisitionAbstract
This article is about applying the method of comparison when learning a new language. It tries to show how comparing a new language to one's home or familiar language can make learning simpler, effective learning possible, and meaningful learning. From studying learners' experiences and recent data, this study uncovers how the method improves memory, increases knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, and increases confidence. The comparison method, as the study suggests, helps learners to make faster gains, especially in multilingual settings.
