Learning a language from 30 Hi guys! Today, I´m going to talk about advantages or disadvantages about learning from you are in your thirties. Well, I´m learning English and I´m 33. I started to study English two years ago and for me, English is an authentic goal. Actually, I´m trying to learn on my own and that has got some good things too. One one hand, you can meet a lot people who is learning your language tongue and that is good because you can do an exchange, so somehow you are learning a language and you are learning about that culture. I think is fantastic, because when you use something to learn, you can grow much as a person. Therefore, where you are surfing in the internet to look different materials, you are discovering a lot of new things, so it´s a good point aswell. You can find some very interesting websites where you can get exercicies to practice. On the other hand, you also have some troubles owing to you have not the same routine when you were 20, so, you have more respnsabilities in your life like children, job, housework, and that could be a handicap because you are going to have less time, less money to spend in books or magazines which could be a good tool to learn. In spite of that, I think the best thing you could do is an inmersion in that language. You have not the chance to stay in abroad for a long time, but you can practice in other ways. Listening to the radio when you go to the job, you can read some websites in english, reading some digital foreign newspaper or talking with native people are some good ideas to learn more and more. From my point of view, the most important thing is you are very motivated and excited at the same time from the moment you decided learning a new language would be a goal for you, because it´s the only way I know to get it! That´s all for today. Regards!

Learning a language from 30

Hi guys! Today, I´m going to talk about advantages or disadvantages about learning from when you are in your thirties.

Well, I´m learning English and I´m 33. I started to study English two years ago and for me, English is an authentic (maybe you mean realistic? Authentic is used to mean it is not a fake)  goal. Actually, I´m trying to learn on my own and that has got some good things about it too.

One one hand, you can meet a lot people who is are learning your language tongue (either mother tongue, or language) and that is good because you can do an exchange, so somehow you are learning a language and you are learning about that culture at the same time. I think is fantastic, because when you use something to learn, you can grow much a lot as a person.
Therefore, where you are surfing in the internet to look different materials, you are discovering a lot of new things, so it´s a good point as well. You can find some very interesting websites where you can get exercises to practice.

On the other hand, you also have some troublesproblems owing to the fact that you have not do not have the same routine that you did when you were 20, so, you have more responsibilities in your life like children, a job, housework, and that could be a handicap because you are going to have less time, less money to spend in on books or magazines which could be a good tool to learn.

In spite of that, I think the best thing you could do is an immersion in that language. You have not the chance to stay in abroad for a long time, but you can practice in other ways. Listening to the radio when you go to the job are at work, you can reading some websites in English, reading some digital foreign newspapers or talking with native people are some good ideas to learn more and more.

From my point of view, the most important thing is that you are very motivated and excited at the same time from the moment you decided learning a new language would be a goal for you, because it´s the only way I know to get do it!

That´s all for today. Regards!
