When I went to live on the farm When I was 6 years old, I went to live on a farm. I stayed there for four years. It was a very small city and there were a lot of farms around. I used to go to school from 7 am until probably 3 pm or something like that. We had 3 breaks. One for breakfast, one for lunch and the last one almost when we were leaving, we had this afternoon lunch. Usually, it was lots of sandwiches, cakes, and juice. Stuff like that. It was a very nice school. We had a lot of classes on sports and also on theater and cinema, but I can't remember if we used to actually study about it or just watch movies. In the farm, I can remember that I was always having a good time with the animals. I was always feeding them. Dogs, chickens, even the pigs. Sometimes the cows also, giving them some fruit. I used to climb the tree to eat lots of different kind of fruits. There were so many that I can't remember all of them. Sometimes some snakes would show up, it's very common in farms I. My grandfather would kill them all. This one day a frog was walking on our yard and all of sudden a snake came after it. Curious enough, after that snake had shown up and my grandfather had killed it, two other snakes came after. He said they were after the frog. The frog got away by the way. Sometimes I would ride a horse, but I was more into feeding the animals in general than riding them. I was a very affectionate child. It was a very peaceful place and It was a very good experience

Studying the language... Learning a second language is hard work. Of course it is. It's not an easy task but it can be easier if you have the right motivation and use the right tools. Try to set goals for yourself and try to see how learn a second language can be beneficial for you. Different people have different motivations, find yours. I also believe everyone needs to find a way to be able to motivate themselves in every situation or goal they want to achieve. Even when things seems to difficult or are not working you should keep going forward anyway. Using the right tools is also very important. Sometimes I watch a lesson on grammar or vocabulary but most of the time I get sleepy because it is boring. But when I'm reading a book or watching a video that sparkles my interest I suddenly get concentrated and I don't even notice the time passing...

What is the best way to learn a second language? I was watching a video about second language acquisition from professor Stephen Krashen and he has some interesting theories about how we should go about learning another language. He says we need to understand messages and we need compelling input. We need to spend time with content or materials that make us completely interesting. Another interesting thing he says is about how reading help us with grammar. Instead of studying grammar itself, reading is a more effective way to learn it. I find this to be especially true because I do believe that reading helps you to write better and be a better communicator in general.

Reasons to learn a second language Learning a language is tough, hard work. Definitely not an easy task to accomplish. However, it can be easier if you have the right mentality and the motivation to get there. The benefits are almost infinite. You can access lots of information, watch and read pretty much anything you would like. You get to know different people and different ideas, different cultures and costumes. You can make new friends and travel with ease. You will certainly have more job opportunites, and probably make more money which is always a great thing. You'll be acquiring a new skill that will pay dividends.
