Yet the number of native. Americans with the ability to speak their tribe39。s language has decreased over the past century.

Since the late 1800s many American Indian children have attended boarding schools. At that time, Indian children were required to attend schools by law, and the government forced Indian families to send their children to such schools. The children were separated from their families. and given English name The teachers often taught native American students in English, instead of the language of their parents.

At least one organization is turning to modern technologyThe Sealaska Heritage Institute, a nonprofit group, has developed two apps for speakers of the Tlingit language. The Learning Tlingit app serves as a reference for important language topics such as conversation phrases, number, and letters. The Tlingit tribe has about 10, 000 members. They live mainly in southeastern Alaska. But as of 2013, the tribe had only 125 native speakers left. in addition, very few young people are able to speak Tlingit. Currently there are two apps, called Learning Tlingit and Tlingit Language Games. The Learning Tlingit app serves as a language guide. It provides Tlingit words and expressions, the tribal alphabet, as well as a basic list of the words included. With the Tlingit Language Games app, users are given a choice of different places of environments, like a house, forest or ocean.（1）What is the problem the native Americans are facing now? number of native Americans has been increasing. and fewer native Americans speak their own language. native language has been extinct.39。s hard to increase the interest of hearing native languages.（2）What will be the result if more and more native Americans only speak English? will get better jobs and higher pay. will teach their own children to speak English. will lose their history and culture. will get along well with the government.（3）What can we know about Tlingit? can help the native people know some language topics. can help the: native people earn money and buy a. house or nice things is a very popular app among the native speakers is a native language spoken by fewer than 200 people.（4）What is the main idea of the passage?

So it may bee part of your inner speech. In other words, you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most of the English learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even be selftaught. Thinking in English really helps! It is not very difficult, but it does need practice. Here we will share some mental exercises. A good first step is to think in words. Look around you.
