        Subject: </font>Language acquisition<br><br><font><span></span> Dear Lowlanders,<br><br>Usually I do not agree with the basic theses of people that lecture on non-native language acquisition. So I found it somewhat refreshing to discover the following presentation (in English) by </font><font>Konstantin Andreev (</font><font><span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="ru"><span class="hps">Константин Андреев</span></span>) at Dalarna University (</font><span style="font-weight:normal">Högskolan Dalarna</span><font>), Sweden.<br>

<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GCLYYNmu5g">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GCLYYNmu5g</a><br><br>I agree with the general thesis that, especially in adults studying by themselves, successful </font><font><font>non-native language acquisition depends on a confident attitude and realistic expectations.</font><br>

<br>Any comments?<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br>Seattle, USA<br></font><br></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center">
