Motivation

Today's note is going to be a short one and the title itself indicates the main reason I haven't been practicsing English as I should be. I was graduated some time ago and the lacking the of goals to be reached that make you feel stimulated to keep on learning a new language. Besides, I seldom have the opportunity to speak in fact, spoken English, in fact. Is it worth knowing a language that will be rarely used? Last time I did, was quite akward.
I was on my way home from college when I ran into an elderly person who was running some errands on the church next to home. He greeted me in English and I replied in the same language. And it was then when I stopped for a while to think about "why did this guy speak English with me if he doesn't know me at all?". So, I turned around, made some steps toward him and I asked him if he was native or something and then the conversation flowed for some minutes. I discovered that he was doing something related to church (which I didn't understand quite well as I was too nervous because I was unexpectedly speaking a foreing language in the middle of the street across from mine) and he is always present every Tuesday afternoon. Therefore, you'll never know when your 2nd or 3rd language will be used
Another reason is the university: it drains all your energy, not leaving any some to practice English. For that reason above, now that I'm on vacation, I'll make an effort to improve my spoken and comprehension skills.

[Good work.]
