Will the second foreing language help me to improve the first one?))) Hola amigos, gatos y perros! =) I can't say that i'm fluent in English, athought I use it in my work, watch movies and listen music. The last thing I like the most and the last film that I've watched in English was "Apocalypse today" about Vietnamese war. The thing went me mad was that I can not understand most of the "Alabama's Men" speach. Their accent is beyong my linguistic abilities. No offenses but this is a fact. Well, all I wanted to say is since I'm not in English speaking enviroment therefore some of my active and even passive vocabulary is fading away from my memory as well as grammar rulles that aren't used by me quite often. So I've decided to learn Spanish but in the most rediculous way. I'm learning Spanish vocabulary through English meanings, despite the fact that my first language is Russian =D. I believe that it would refresh the things that I used to know when I used English alot. What do you thing about such approach? Have you tried to use second foreign language through the first one? Do you think that it could do a harm due to mess in Enlish and Spanish vocabulary, pronunciation, etc.? Please share your ideas.
