English and Mondlango

A person with average abilities requires about five years to be able to communicate in a foreign language (this period depends on how much time is invested in learning, the teacher and the degree of motivation). Mondlango can be learned in a tenth of this time. Only about half the time is required to learn a second foreign language. For example a person who learns only English as a foreign language requires about five years to achieve proficiency. Someone who first learns Mondlango for half a year requires only a further two and a half years to learn English. Those that first learn Mondlango can master not only English after three years instead of five, but Mondlango as well.
Furthermore the study of Mondlango brings with it an understanding of the influence of the mother tongue on foreign languages and eliminates at least some of the obstacles which prevent people from thinking outside their own language and culture. Thus the student of Mondlango firstly learns foreign languages more quickly, secondly understands his or her own mother tongue better, and thirdly assimilates better to a foreign language.
