My learning journey. When you learn a language, it is absolutely necessary to practice the speaking. Because I'm in this incredible journey with my 2 year old daughter, it's something really appreciable to do. I only speak to her in English and when she wants to ask me something, she does it in this very language. I'm forced to use this language. I guess this is how I've been progressing since the beginning of this learning process. Watching lots of content is useful as well! When I have free time, I practice my listening skills by watching TV, listening to podcasts etc... Now I tend to try to watch movies but despite my very good level of English, sometimes I still struggle with some dialogs. Everything at my house is now set in English, for example, I love to play video games so I've set the language settings onto English and now when I want to play a video game, the whole content is displayed in this very language. It's efficient because it's something that I enjoy and to improve your skills, you have to enjoy what you learn or do. Writing posts on Italki is something interesting eventhough I don't focus on writing because above all I want to 'speak' the language and render it alive. Now I've aquired what I define as 'comfort zones'. Topics in which I'm very confident and able to respond efficiently, fluently, without searching for translating from my mother tongue. I'm certain that for speaking a language, you need to acquire the automaticity of thousands of phrases that you link together. Learning new words is something really nice to do, and everytime that I learn new words and I hear them on TV, radio, games etc... it's like I've untangled my brain or added a new piece of the puzzle to my comprehension. I'd like to be better at fluency, and I'm confronted everyday to this big wall that is my goal. I would like to speak like a native speaker. I don't want to sound formal, I wanna* sound like you guys, when you speak this language with your friends or acquaintances and using all this slang, this idioms etc... I don't now nobody whom speak formally in his real life. Unless thinking about a news anchor or TV show host. So, if you want to correct my text, please keep in mind that I don't want too sound formal.
