      When a child whose first language isn't English is learning English it can be very challenging. It is very hard for the learner to learn the new features of the new language and distinguish them from their own. I impinge this very hard and frustrating at times. I think that as a teacher we need to keep this in mind so when we have a foreign child in the classroom struggling, we can think of how hard it must be to learn English with all of the complicated rules. As a teacher I would try and make learning the English language as easy as possible for the student by helping them after school if needed.

    1. ---Ymmg cl1ildren acquire morphemic kriow)eilge that is present in their linguistic environments. In settings where a particular dialect is spoken, children will first acquire the morphemic knowledge represented in that dialect. In figuring oul how language is used and words arc structured, children appear to be looking for pat-terns and hypothesizing. Children's O\'ergeneralizations of morphological patterns are an example of this.

      Young children even learn the way we as adults and teachers speak to them. Even though they haven't been formally taught the difference between happy, happily and happier as said in the article or walk and walked, just speaking to them can get their little minds going on inflectional morphemes and morphemic knowledge word structures. It is sparking something that they will be fully exposed and taught later.
