Language

Learning a new language is not always easy.  It seems particuliarly hard for adult, it seems.  Well, it is my experience.  On the other hand, there are ways to makes it easier.  Well, I met, a long time ago, someone that was able to do that.  I had Spanish classes with that person and he made the learning of the language easy.  I wish there was more language to learn at the time.  I would had liked to further learn spanish and learn a few other languages with that teacher.  It is always more enjoyable to learn in a group setting too.  The immersion into the language is also helping to learn the language.

Since that class, I forgot much of what I learned Spanish wise.  I didn't practiced much after that.  It is a bit of a loss.  It would had been fun to be fluent in that language, even it wasn't the main objective of the class.  The objective of the class was more of being an introduction class to spanish.  The thing that seems to have remain: if I hear two peoples speaking Spanish, I can recognice it is spanish and sometimes, I can discern some isolated words.  As I ear those words, it seems that I remember the word.  It is more about concrete and usual words.  I don't know if I pick up the study of the Spanish language again, if it will be easy and if the small amount I learned would come back.

Why learning another language?  Well, I don't need the translation nor the subtitle.  It is less tiring to understand a language than read the subtitle.  Subtite can be a bit tiring and it must be a fast read.  There are times where subtitles don't stay long enough for slower readers to read all.  It can be harder to reade when the background where the subtitle are makes the reading even harder.  Another cool thing: if in one place with only one language, I can speak in another language with somebody else and we won't be understood by those surronding us.  The only thing that I don't like: I am bilingual and where I am, the two language I am proheficient at are communly spoken.  So, I don't have any advantages.  If I take a Spanish class again, it would be more for my amusement because there a big community of speaker of that language.  Of course, it will be easier to learn the language because I know of a lot of native Spanish speakers.  Maybe I could learn a more exotic language like Russian...
