What's the difference between the sheep -> baaah

30% longer for the sheep?
I'd not noticed.

Gérard they say that listening, speaking, reading and writing are the natural order. I Wonder if writing  is not the most useful exercise  because it helps solidifying what we know.

Everyone their needs.
IMHO...
"Listening, speaking, reading and writing" are the chronological order (we listen as a new-born, then we speak around a year, then reading and writing around 5-6).
When we want to learn a foreign language, it is important to begin by listening because there's accent, intonation, vocabulary, grammar (provided we already know the basics).
We always have to spend much time listening. However speaking is very important.
Reading and writing are needed to consolidate knowledge.
The 4 have their place.

I'd like to add that I agree with "6. Don't translate" o course but it doesn't mean you don't need a bilingual dictionary.
In my opinion, a good bilingual dictionary is absolutely necessary to know the exact "weight" (meaning) of words and expressions, so that we can feel the very nuances.

Hi Gérard !
As we are French we need comparing the vocabulary of the language we are learning with our own language.
By the way do you know if it is better to say "To compare with" or "to compare to" ?

Muriel, I guess there's no difference, no preference.

> As we are French we need comparing
I let you investigate but I'd bet the -ing form is not permitted after "need" Smile

Tx Gérard. I have checked that language point because I wasn't sure.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/flatmates/episode121/languagepoint.shtml

NEED TO
We use this form when we want to talk about something that's necessary for someone to do. We usually mention who is going to do it. For example: "I need to go to the dentist" means "It's necessary for me to visit the dentist".

NEED+ING
We can use this form when we want to talk about something that is necessary for someone to do. This is a passive structure where the usual subject + verb + object form changes to object + need + verb+ing.
 my sentence : "As we are French we need comparing the vocabulary of the language"  isn't a passive form and it should be "As we are French we need to compare the vocabulary of the language
OK

Thanks Muriel, I wasn't aware of this specificity, I'm going to study this point.
