My Learning Experience It's crazy when we think how many people speak multiple languages. Everybody has their own method. I have a PhD in Mathematics and science has always been in my life. As a school student I loved science and history. On the other hand I hated languages so I postponed learning a new language as much as I could. I'm very methodical when it comes to studying a new subject, but I like getting results as quickly as possible. When it doesn't happen to me, I flip out. Back to 2016 I was completely monolingual, which, in my case means I only spoke Portuguese. Even though I had the opportunity to live in the UK for a while I learned nothing at all. Living with other Brazilian fellows and being afraid of making mistakes didn't help me at all. So when I came back to Brazil I felt quite sad because I didn't learn English as much as I expected, so I said to myself that it was never gonna happen to me again. I changed up all my habits. I started watching series in English, reading books and chatting with foreigners with no fear of making mistakes. I also asked my girlfriend to start using Spanish to talk to me. I felt overwhelmed, I wanted to learn everything. Therefore I decided to tackle many languages at the same time. As I've always loved French I also decided to give it a shot. I bought a book and I started learning it from scratch. Now I can say that I speak 4 languages fluently. It's import to bear in mind that I'm not saying that I don't make mistakes because I do make mistakes, a bunch of them to be honest. However I found out that fear only slows you down. So don't be afraid and speak your target language right away! I'm looking forward to learning Russian!
