Smørgåsbord origins from Sweden and goes back to 17th Century. "Smør" means "butter"; "gås" means "goos"; "bord" means "table." All together it means a buffet-style table with multiple hot and cold dishes of various foods. Was introduced to Americans at the New York World Fair in 1939. It's a traditional way of serving food throughout whole Scandinavia. In Danish they use the term "Det store kolde bord" [the great cold table], in Norway "koldtbord" The "smørgåsbord" is served throughout the whole year but 2 major events with rich traditions is arround Christmas and Easter.

Rosetta Stone has over thirty languages to choose from. They include Swahili, Danish, French, Welsh, Arabic, Urdu, Vietnamese, Farsi, Dari, Korean, Japanese, Greek and Hebrew.

It is a word mostley used by Japenese boys. It means "penus."

If you're unfamiliar with German and French, I would suggest taking a class on Chaucer. I'm pretty sure most professors will read aloud to you in what is considered the proper way to speak Middle English, though it is technically not still a spoken language and we really don't know for certain (like with Latin) how it was said.

Also, if you don't want to take a class, you can usually find recordings of The Cantebury Tales on YouTube.

It is difficult for everyone, even native speakers of English, to accomplish what you are trying to do. It takes time, effort, determination and practice. Unfortunately, there is no easy way. Your knowledge will grow as you acquire each new thing, just like everyone else's does. Regarding "word-senses," make sure your dictionary gives example(s) of the word used in a correct sentence. See my answer to "what is an order slip" question for more details. Some suggestions: The English Language is a blending of many others; German, French, Latin, etc. Make sure your dictionary is a large, comprehensive one. The nline ones often are not. I suggest you buy the printed, version of Encarta World English Dictionary (the full online version requires paid membership too), This dictionary explores the other issues you mentioned, such as etymology, which is often the best way to memorize, get right in your mind, a word's definition. Also the latin derivations are quite helpful. Study them, many re-appear in other words. People who study Latin as a language course in school have a head start in learning new words, knowing definitions of words. Latin is the core language of the "Romance Languages" as well: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, etc., and many English words are derived from these languages. Also very helpful is Roget's Thesaurus. Get one, also in hard print copy (this way you can make notes, highlights in it. Use a lot of bookmarks too...go back to them often until you've memorized the various meanings. Another thing about Encarta World English Dictionary is its exploration, discussion of individual words' usage in many English-speaking countries, where meanings for the same word often vary as well. Americans are often confused in Britain, and the British are often confused when they're in America! Same words, differnet meanings. Often a word can have a sexually suggestive meaning in one country's dialect and not another. The same is true with most languages that are spoken in different countries, even regions of the same country. Castillian Spanish, for example, vs. Latin American Spanish. Very different, same language. The important thing is to grasp the meaning of the word by seeing it used in a sentence, in context; this is often why the etymology (history of the word's usage, origins, are shown...to help grasp the meaning, "sense," as you've said. Then looking at the Latin root of the word further helps you grasp the meaning. Again, for "sense," see my answer to "what is an order slip." I hope this helps you. Keep trying hard. That is the real key: EFFORT

The difficulty of learning a language and the time you need to spend on it varies from person to person and depends on many factors (e.g. age, experience with secondary languages, experience with Asian languages in particular, and mental ability). If you put enough commitment into learning, you should be able to pick it up quickly enough - by this, we mean "quicker than it took you to learn your first language".

You should ask your teacher for the particular additional documents or textbooks you are using in addition to the French in Action textbook. These will be different for every person.

The Rassias Method is significant in language education because it emphasizes immersion and active participation, making language learning engaging and dynamic. By incorporating a variety of techniques, such as drama, music, and rapid-response exercises, it helps students internalize language structures and vocabulary more effectively. This method also promotes confidence and spontaneity in speaking, allowing learners to practice in a supportive environment. Ultimately, its focus on fun and interaction fosters a deeper connection to the language and culture being studied.

I utilize communicative language teaching approach, focusing on real-life communication. Additionally, I incorporate task-based learning to engage students in authentic language use. I also draw from cognitive and socio-cultural theories to understand how students acquire and internalize language.

How hard a language is to learn really depends on your motivation.
