I don't want to be formal but speak naturally.
I really love learning American English.
I repeat it over and overI say this a lot, but my life has changed since I
begun began this incredible journey that is learning a foreign language.
I found the way I learn. I surround myself with English as much as I can, I speak out loud to myself when I'm alone and I don't study boring grammar rules
, but instead try to learn
as like a baby
would.
I'm a perfectionist and
it would be my dream to not make mistakes my dream is to never make a mistake. I always find
that my accent
is better than yesterday
, lower than tomorrow but not as good as it will be tomorrow.
I realize that
for most of the time when I'm listening to a podcast or watching a movie or another type of program, I don't have to translate
s what I hear.
When you attain this 'level' it means that this second language has become a part of your brain and it's natural to hear it.
Now I have to work on the way I will use
this these chunks of phrases, w
hether it's correct or not
, and try to notice where my errors are.
I DON'T want to speak formal English, the
one kind that you see in
the books. I mean, at least,
not for the moment. I want to focus
myself on
the natural spoken English, the
one kind that you use in your daily life.
When some people correct my essays on Italki, they want to make my text too formal.
I will learn formal English when my level
will be is very high in order to 'polish' my new language. When you were a baby, your parents didn't teach you 'Hello how are you' but they would have said 'Hi
How is how's it going or what's up'.
.. (Probably still not something you'd say to a baby, but I get your point.) This
is the kind of phrase
s that books don't teach you. I want to speak the living language and become a native-like speaker. So wish me
good luck!
