How do I study languages? 6 years ago I started Learning japanese on my own. It was very hard at the begining, since Japanese is an oriental language, but little by little and with some efforts I was getting accustomed with that new language. About 1 year later I started at a language school, in order to study with a teacher. The better thing about studying at a language school is that you can practice your speaking, and, as I said on my last text, speaking/chatting is, for me, the best way to learn a foreign language. The English was a little different. Most of the boys in Brazil play or have played video games at least one time on their lives, and as we know, most of the games are developed in English. As English is a latin derived language, it becomes more simply to learn than an oriental language, like Japanese. Because of it, most of the boys (and why not the girls as well?) have learned English by playing video games, and I wasn't an exception. I remember like it was today, when I played GTA SAN ANDREAS and I didn't know some words, I just searched in a dictionary for a translation. It was very boring, because I spent more time searching words in the dictionary than playing the game, but now I see the beneficts that it brought to me. That's it guys! Let me know if I made some mistake, and correct me, in order to help me improve my English!! See ya!
