When did you start to learn a second language?
JeronimoMagalhaes replied to cbintz's topic in Language Learning
When didn't I start....I know English ever since I can remember, they ask me how I know it and I just can't explain. It's a pure mistery of life... -
What is Hardest- Reading, Writing, or Speaking?
JeronimoMagalhaes replied to tulosai's topic in Language Learning
It depends on the language. But in Asian langauges, writing becomes a real challenge, I actually failed college because of that! -
I'd love to learn Italian and German, they're such beautiful and inspirational languages and might be useful in the future! I'll take some grammar books online and start studying!

Is English part of your education?
JeronimoMagalhaes replied to betita03's topic in English Language | Discussion
I've studied Foreign Languages, so English is naturally a part of my education. Plus, even since I was a kid that I know pretty much the basics of English and some other advanced aspects, I guess. I've never had to study for an English test and always had top scores. People would ask me how and I couldn't explain. Mysteries of life... -
What Language Do You Think In?
JeronimoMagalhaes replied to LindaKay's topic in English Language | Discussion
Somehow I always think in English, even though I'm Portuguese. Sometimes I even get to think with fragments of Japanese, but I haven't mastered it yet so I can't build it much on my mind. But still, feels good practicing within our head! The more often we do it the better! -
I'ma fast reader, but maybe I should go a little slower, as I tend to get distracted very easily and then I have to read everything all over again. Plus, I have an attention deficit, which makes it all worse. I can't do anything for more than 5 mintues without getting my mind on the moon....

Do you think online tutorials are effective?
JeronimoMagalhaes replied to Judhie's topic in English Language | Discussion
I've taken Japanese tutorials and even those are helpful! If you really want to improve your English, nothing like a good tutorial to get you on the right track! I've been helping my sister with it and always turned out just fine! She is now improving a lot as days go by! -
Your favorite English Quotes
JeronimoMagalhaes replied to linguaholic's topic in English Language | Discussion
“Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” “If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” “The love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned.” -
I want to be able to master Japanese. Besides being a beautiful language, I feel a deep connection with it and it'll be a pleasure to use it as much as I can day-by-day.
