Today I was watching a TED Talk “Why we struggle learning languages?” written by Gabriel Wyner and I’ve notice interesting things on it. For example, if you spend two hours per day studying any kind of language, for example, French, for two or even three years, probably will have a five years old kid who knows french so much better than you. And you as an adult would think: “This is not fair, I’m an adult so I’m smarter than this little kid, why he knows french better than me?”

The answer to this question it’s simple, he is immersed in his mother tongue since when he was a baby. He grew up listening to hir parents, grandparents and anyone who was at his side, the key to this question it’s not how much you’re studying, but how immersed you are.

Because of that, I have been spending my free time studying English as much as I can, but not studying grammar books or these boring things. I'm spending my time watching ted talks, vlogs, tv shows like (Friends), and podcasts.

Every day I try to listen to a different podcast and every day I learn something new. When you're studying and you see results you get happy and motivated and that is how I'm feeling right now. Another important thing that I'm doing is Writing. When you write a text and read it aloud you can train your writing and also your speaking/pronunciation.

If you read this text until the end, feel free to correct my mistakes or even chat with me.

Thank you =)
