1 year has gone... Today I woke up with all the energy, thinking in myself as never had done before! A year has passed since I left my mother country, México. I was so happy expecting the best of the best. My goal, of course, was learn english perfectly, but what a big sorprise, there are many spanish people here as well... So, I couldn't practice as much as can. Everybody were speaking Spanish and I was started to feel frustrated. One year has gone, and I dont feel like my english is really good. For sure I can understand and talk, but not as I wanted it. Now, I have 9 months more to finish my goal... I know, I need to put more... But I really don't know how to do it.

My life... Im living in New York as an Au Pair... I'll show u just a little bit about my great experience! : )

which is the best way to learn a foreign language?

diferent country... I've been here (USA) since Octuber 2010, my english was really poor when I arrived. I'm working as an "Au Pair", that means, Im with kids all the time, 24/7. So, you get used to hear around you new world that language, is very important to speak, it's doesn't matter if your pronuntation isn't good, the people can undertand you because they can figure out. I try to learn new words every day, to make bigger my vocabulary and speak to practice. If yu have some tips that could help me, please share it with me! I'll appreciate it...
