What is the difference between teaching mother tongue and teaching of other language?
The biggest difference between teaching mother tongue and teaching of a second language in most cases is the age of the person learning and the number of hours learning. When learning your mother tongue you start the first day you are born and you learn for all hours that you are awake. Teaching a second language, you have the added benefit of having a reference point (your mother tongue). You can learn for example that "bonjour" means "hello" which can be very helpful to learn things quickly. When you learn your mother tongue you learn through association only but in most cases you spend more time learning and have more hours of repetition which leads to inevitable fluency.
For learning quickly flashcards will probably work best.

Seconds on the flash card thing, they work good. The general idea is repetition and consistency. You wont believe how easy you will remember things in one month when you just look at them once a day. Bu the trick is to never let go of the pace, continuation in other words.

So you can make flash cards, consisting of simple tangible example sentences in which the word is used.

What is the best way to learn a language?
The question is unclear... By "best way" do you mean quickest, easist, or the method with better results. But with all those ways to learn it, here are some answers. I heard Rosetta Stone worked well. You can take a class in school, but if you want the easiest way it depends on the teacher. I recently learned that in the learning pyramid the best way to learn is to teach. If you learn things from a teacher, teach that to a friend or family member. It IS proven that when you show someone something, it actually helps you remembering it. If you are teaching someone something and they understand, that means you understand. Another way you can learn it easy and fast is by using the old fashion way. Study and practice! You might not believe me, but this is actually the second best way to learn something quick and easy.
_______
The best way is to immerse yourself in the language. Go to a place where the language is spoken, and deal with it, or otherwise surround yourself with speakers who will discourage the use of your native language.
Surround youself with the language that you are willing to learn. It may sound obvious, but not many people do it. If you can, move to a country were the language you would like to learn is the official language- your brain will have no option but to speak in the foreign language.You'll be amazed at the results! If not, then change your phone,iPod, computer to the desired language, or you could watch films you know well with the language audio description- this is probably the easiest way whilst still not having migranes!
How do you get rid of polish accent?
A native accent can be hard to overcome and Slavic speakers such as Poles often have a distinctive accent even when they are otherwise completely fluent in the English language.
To develop an authentic English accent takes a lot of careful listening to native English speakers and careful focus on the sounds spoken. It can be hard to really hear your own voice so the use of a voice recorder can be very helpful in listening to your own pronunciation of words and phrases. A few minutes each day with a recorder can be valuable in mastering English pronunciation.
Take care to listen to the English accent that you wish to emulate. In Britain, there are hundreds of distinct accents. The US and Canada also have numerous accents as do all other English speakers. Pick the one that is the best for your situation.
Finally, many Poles who speak almost perfect English are caught out with the use of "a" and "the". These articles are so easy for native speakers to use and incredibly hard for Slavic speakers who don't have them in their own language. The more focused listening you get to do, the more these two tiny words will come naturally to you.
There isn't one, unless you meant to type monkey or donkey. There is a phrase "on key" which means that a singer or other musician is singing or playing at the correct pitch.
How do you speak without an accent?
ANSWER
Practice, practice, practice. Talk with friends, listen carefully, play with the words. Record yourself and listen. This is very powerful. Musicians are sometimes amazed when they hear recordings of their playing. There is something about performing that alters our moment-to-moment experience of what we are doing.
Everyone speaks with an accent. To me, English without an accent will sound very accented to people in the UK. So think in terms of modifying your accent, if you want, not eliminating it. Accent is not a bad word; speaking well with an accent is a beautiful thing. Nonsense spoken with clear, unaccented diction is still nonsense.
ANSWER
We Canadians like to pretend (and most Canadians actually believe) that we don't speak with an accent. If that's true (and I don't believe it to be so) then the way to speak without an accent would be to speak like Canadians. Tune in Canadian radio and television stations, and listen to Radio Canada International, our shortwave service.
ANSWER
You can't. Even so-called 'Standard English' using RP ['Received Pronunciation'] is a regional dialect, being generally defined as what is spoken by educated people in the South-East - but if the capital was in Manchester rather than London, Standard would be what we now call Mancunian.
How do you improve english skills?
Reading books by well-known authors is a good way to improve grammar (simply exposing yourself to the ways people use language helps you improve). Also, practice writing every day (on a blog, for instance) modeling what you notice in the books you read.
Grammar classes are rarely any good because they are acontextual and too formal; it's better to pay a tutor or teacher to read your blog and go over any mistakes with you if you make any.
Why is it bad to learn a second language?
Hi there,
It's not that the kids shouldn't learn a nother languaje as much as they shouldn't learn it at an early age, this is due to the fact that , in their early years they are still learning theyr home language, so in most cases they end up mixing or confusing words, which can result in a slower learning of both languages and/or a mixed language that can be hard to understand, personally i think 9/10 years is a good age to start taking another language

What is the best way to learn French?
The correct match of teacher, student, and learning toolis the best way to learn French. People have individualistic ways of learning languages. Some do better through intensive study of dictionaries and grammars. Others do better with language laboratories and audio visual methods. Still others do better with 'thinking on your feet'. They'd prefer immersion in conversational courses and in travel abroad.
The best way to learn a language is to surround yourself with people that speak it fluently. If you are not able to do that, just while you are talking try to say a few words you already know in french. Or maybe you should try a good manuel or take some French lessons.
