So, Before I get any answers, Its a good idea to explain:
Bassically, My sister needs to learn a language to get into her desired field of work, When I heard this, I instantly jumped at the oppurtunity to help her learn a language since I am a GIANT language geek. When I asked her what language she wanted to learn she said French since she was told it should be easy (Which it should be since her native language is English). So, She started learning it and I started helping her, There is one MAJOR problem though. I dont know how to properly explain this, but, She thinks that French follows all the same rules as English. An example is when we were talking about French genders, She thought that because genders are not important in English (Technically we dont even have them) they must not be important in French. When I tried to explain to her that the genders in French are Important she said “But, Thats not how it works in English, So what makes French different?” I tried to explain to her that French is a different language with its own rules and quirks but she denied this and said that “I know nothing”. Another example is when she said that the French phrase “Je m’appelle” is pronounced like it was an English word, Like the J is pronounced the way we say it in English or when she refuses to pronounce the words she learns properly. She also refuses to try and improve her accent since she thinks that its not important and that they will understand her and it dosent matter, Its hard to try and explain her logic ngl. Anyway, She refuses to accept that French has its own rules but still needs to learn it, She is thinking off switching to German but given how she has reacted to French, I honestly dont think she can learn German. How can I help her?
Also for more context: We are close to the same age, Its not like she is a child. Wont say her age for privacy reasons.
