mother tongue, begin to use language patterns to learn and begin to express with
words you know and dominates.

language, or exposing them to listen repeatedly. Also worth mentioning, and we

express. It is important during the process of interlanguage, teacher or guide take
record of the processes of the learner. This refers to as his first encounter with

patterns that are acquiring. This is vital to meet learner progress and achieve
