Yeah so what's the big deal?
Yeah but it takes a long loving time to learn a language that way, and it's easily the worst way to go about doing it. The point was is that in 4 weeks you'd pick up nothing because that way is ridiculously slow and arduous. I learned Japanese from people around me speaking it and from hearing it on television, which is the same exact way I learned English. I taught myself German through just text I found online and my German is loving horrible, the sheer amount of tedium required to learn a language that way makes it completely impractical, and it's a blessing that I'm not deaf because I'd probably struggle to speak a single language were it not for my hearing.
Yeah so he knows enough English to read and talk, which is a pretty significant feat for a deaf person learning a second language.
And what do you mean "head about grammar"?
Read about grammar.
See my only problem is that he already knows English to a huge degree. Why not use that English that he knows, to read about the structure of English sentences, and maybe improve his own.
It doesn't have to be in a day.
It doesn't have to be in a week.
It doesn't have to be in a month.
-He can read.
-He knows some grammar.
-Even if he does, he will not fully understand it.
As I've stated: It's impossible to fully understand grammar without listening to it.
I don't even fully understand grammar and I can listen to it, he can at least TRY to improve his.
Like you are right now, by trying to win an argument on an online LEGO-themed building game forum.
You are too.
I know no person who would lie about being deaf. If so, then that would be a sick joke.
People lie about a lot of things, for benefits and other such things.
By first language, I meant written language, his seems to be English.
Even so I've lost the heart of what I was trying to say at this point. So to refresh I say this.
He can improve his grammar, there's nothing stopping him from doing that, just something slowing him down.
