learning new language

[shootingstar]

I know what you mean about the language in use too. Next time I see one of my gym aquaints that's latino & very fluent in English as well, I am going to ask what she suggests. Maybe she could help with giving me some spanish speaking time when I see her to work out.

She would probably be pleased to help, to at least converse at length. It would be more fun for reinforcing whatever you learn from learning aids. Are there any Spanish language tv or radio shows/stations that you might already have?

For highly motivated, folks to retain their language or feel more comfortable, at least here in Canada, there are 24-hr./ 7 day dedicated tv channel and radio station for news and all shows in French.

I learned not only French as required by any Canadian child, I learned English starting from kindergarten. Even though I was born and raised in Canada. And I was a child..when the brain is more absorptive. It was hard enough since language is totally different from Chinese.
