Hi, I'm Cristina from Italy! I've always loved learning languages. I'm currently learning Welsh and Polish but I'm also trying to improve my English, French, Spanish and above all German: I'm hopelessly in love with this beautiful language . I love Nature and Art. Indeed, besides studying languages at University I study at the conservatoire in order to become a composer and an orchestra conductor; uh, NEVER start a conversation about classical music : I may not be able to stop talking :)) . I'm very keen on Science too (in particular Astronomy, Paleontology and Zoology). Oh, and Linguistics of course :) Not only am I interested in modern languages, but I'm incredibly fascinated by their origins and their historical development ,which led me to learn some Old High German and Old Saxon. Be careful: I can be very talkative. P.S. Do not write to me if you are a maniac or a pizza hater...I won't reply.

    Books and children It is a common opinion that reading is of great relevance. There are some people who try to persuade children to become habitual readers because "reading is important". But how many of them spend their time plunging themselves into the leaves of a book? In order to turn a child into a reader, we should put aside this badly-hidden hypocrisy, sit in front of the child, open a book and start reading it aloud. The new generations are only the reflection of our generation: if there is someone to blame for the declining number of young readers it is us. Not long ago I read that a robot toy, whose primary use is to read stories, has been launched onto the market. It might be a good idea but , to be honest, I see more negative aspects than positive ones. Firstly, children should discover the beauty of holding a book in their hands. The physical contact with the book would help them create an imaginary and personal space where there is nothing else than the book and themselves. Secondly, considering that the robot toy has a limited number of stories, giving the child the opportunity to look for and finally find their own literary taste, is far better than alienating them from different genres. Lastly, I am of the opinion that human warmth is irreplaceable. The sweet sensation of falling asleep while your parent, sitting next to you, is reading a story where you identify yourself with a brave pirate or an intrepid princess is beyond price.

    La clé pour apprendre una langue étrangère Le mot-clé, quand on veut apprendre une langue étrangère, est "constance". Je me suis rendue compte que si on étudie tous les jours, les résultats sont garantis. Trente minutes par jour sont suffisants pour apprendre un peu de grammaire et de vocabulaire. Et si un jour, on se sent fatigué et on n'a pas d'envie d'étudier, on peut abandonner le livre de grammaire pour faire quelque chose d'autre: regarder une vidéo sur YouTube pour améliorer sa compréhension orale. On pourrait aussi lire un article de journal ou d'un magazine. Moi, je cherche toujours à combiner ma passion pour les langues avec d'autres intérêts. Par exemple, j'aime lire des essais sur l'histoire de la musique ou des biographies des grands compositeurs ou des grands scientifiques.

    Difficultés de la langue française J'étudie le français depuis quatre ans et je me suis rendue compte que, quand on apprend une langue étrangère, il y a toujours quelque chose de nouveau à apprendre: on ne cesse jamais à apprendre soit qu'on parle de grammaire et vocabulaire soit qu'on parle de prononciation. Pour un italien, par exemple, une des difficultés à surmonter de la langue française est la prononciation des sons nasaux (em, en, in, on etc). Ces sons n'existent pas en italien et donc il faut beaucoup de patience et pratique pour les apprendre. Autre difficulté sont les soi-disant faux amis, c'est à dire ces mots qui sont pareils mais dont le sens est complètement différent. Par exemple les verbes fermer/ fermare (arrêter). Néanmoins ces difficultés rendent la langue encore plus belle :)

    How do you find the right learning method? Hi, everyone! :) I was just wondering how language lovers find the learning method that best suits them. Over the years, I've tried several methods but sometimes it becomes quite hard to find your own method. What do you usually do while learning a foreign language? As a student, I used to focus my attention above all on grammar and vocabulary but I spoke so little and on so few occasions that I didn't make much progress. Now, I'm careful about developing all the four different language abilities: writing, speaking, listening and reading. What about you? I'm curious about your own method :)
