We were surfing in many websites related to how to learn a foreign or second language. The common thing that we realized about them was that they are very connected with the grammar translation method. This method is also known like the Classical Method. The Grammar Translation Method is focused on grammatical rules, memorization of vocabulary and of various adjectives and conjugations, translation of texts, doing written exercises.
The website http://www.101languages.net/vietnamese/vowels.html ,in which people can learn Vietnamese, we realize that it uses many elements associated with the grammar translation method. For instances, a lot of vocabulary of the website is taught in forms of lists of isolated words. There is no context for the words that people will learn. Also in this website you can find a lot of links connected with drills, grammar rules and vocabulary. For these reasons, I think this website is focused on Grammar Translation Method. Thus, the website teaches language through rules, words and phrases that are not taught in a real context.
