Learning German A few time ago I decided it is time to learn a new language. I am totally aware that I still have a lot to improve in English, but I believe I have a level good enough to start learning a new language. The first question that came to my mind was what language I should study. The two major alternatives were German and Portuguese; German because I would like to work or do an internship in Germany, and Portuguese because it is the language of the only country in South America (where I come from) where Spanish is not its native language. Finally, I have decided to start learning German because I am in England undertaking my doctoral studies in mechanical engineering, and if I learn that language, I will have more chances to find a job or an internship in Germany. I am really excited about learning a new language. I do not remember exactly when I started learning English and how it was at the beginning, which make me feel like it was the first time I begin studying a language from scratch. I have been learning English for ages, and I have made a lot of mistakes during the process. I have figured out which are the methodologies that work well for me just in the last years and as a result I could reach a good level. I can not wait to see my progress, I am pretty sure it will not take so long as it did in English this time.
