NOW THEY RAPING THE GUYANESE PEOPLE, NOT THAT YOU WOULD KNOW, YOU ARE JUST NOT PART OF THE RACIST ARM

Why do you need $4.6 million to learn languages?  What happen to Google Translate and many many free online classes.  This is craziness.

Whai is craziness is to ask university students to google translate when they need to learn languages professionally. I speak Spanish from being among Hispanics. When I decided to be an interpretor, I had to study gramatical Spanish by the book.

for a teacher this is surprising...should they also get rid of foreign languages at the US universities since people can learn via google translate

BTW, before people get confused, I assume they speaking bout 4.6 mill Guyana dollars which is only 23K US, but I sure you may know better

Google Translate is not a solution or means for learning any language.  Pronunciation, tone, context etc are important to learn and understand.  Video and listening may cover some of the basis.

Some people just like to "babble", no pun intended!

You need to learn to spell and write a proper sentence before you can be a translator or should I say "translater"?  How does one learn a language "professionally"? I am surprised you are a translator.

I learned several languages in a classroom setting and while I was able to read and write them well, I only learned to speak fluently by listening repeatedly to the audio.  I recently taught myself online to speak Italian as there are tons of videos on the internet.

There are children who do not know sentence construction in their first language who can speak another language fluently.  The learning process is primarily by listening.  

Languages at the university level beyond elementary classes are literature. The books are written in the language you are studying.  For me personally, once you already learn to speak the language, then the literature is not necessary.  Once in a while when I'm traveling and I don't recognize a word, I would check it on my Google Translate App.

What is your issue with the Chinese setting up a language lab in Guyana?  If was under the PPP you'd be all over singing like a fly on cow shit.

You don't know of what you speak!  You have no clue, especially when it come to languages like Manderin!

Ok, you are an Uber genius, Ivy league educated, Wall Street corner office, high-flying guru.  The average mortal is not up to your par.  The GoG is catering for mere mortals!
