Profile
I am a native of California, though I have lived in several places - including two very contrasting cities: Houston, Texas and London, England. I love to travel and have been to most of the European countries as well as Mexico and Costa Rica. Spanish is a common language in the Los Angeles area. I would like to become fluent so that I can communicate more effectively with those for whom Spanish is a first language. I also wish to be conversant when I travel to Spanish-speaking countries.

    Long-sleeved t-shirts is what I call them.

    A Wonderful Day

    Today is a busy day. Actually, the work is not hard for me. But there have been too many accidents. It happened suddenly when I went to the office this morning . My colleague told me that the goods' thread color is not correct; and, she asked me "what happened?", I was very worried about that.  ["I was very worried about that." might be better because you are speaking about something in the past].   I put down the bag to hurry up and run to the workshop to check and found that it was a false alarm. After a while, my buyer called me. She told me that the Tie's fabric is (was) not good. She sounded very angry. I was very mad also because this fabric was her choice.  But I can't say anything. I told her that I will try to do my best. Oh, a wonderful day.

     

    Lilian - very good.  Most of the corrections are about present tense vs. past tense (It happens is in the present.  It happened is about the past).  Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

    I would say "rose" which is past tense. ("So did spending" is a reference to the past). The present tense would read: As profits rise, so does spending.

    How important is motivation for learning a foreign language?

    I read an interesting entry on this platform yesterday: Motivation is the most important thing for learning another language.

    Yes, indeed, motivation is of course very important. But the whole day long I can't stop thinking about whether motivation is also the most important element for successful learning or not? In my opinion, there are two things needed more, which I would call "discipline" and "have a good plan".  
     
    To learn a language, you need to study as often as you can. It is certainly better to learn nearly every day a trifle of your excercises as to learn whole material in a month. And for this part you need discipline! But studying every day without a reasonable structure you could learn as much as you wish but your effort would not be successful. So you need a good plan for your success. (In German we say to have "a red string". Is there a similar term in English?)

    How about you? I would love to know which things are important for your learning strategy?
