How does literal translation help in your language learning process? Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation when we just want to know the meaning of the word itself, but specially when learning idioms, and slang, in general, most of the phrases in the target language won't be exactly the same as in our first language, this is when the literal translation betrays us and doesn't help as it's expected to do it. What do you guys think, is it better to find equivalent phrases and words to get closer to the real meaning in the target language even when the translation could go way far from its literal meaning? or do you think helps better to literally translate each word in a sentence? Please, leave your comment according to your own experience learning your second or third language, what has worked better for each of you? Thanks

What do you guys think about full immersion when learning a new language?

What do you think guys, is English a harder language to learn in comparison to Spanish?... why?

I started learning English by my own and it has been kind of hard but wouldn't say one language is harder than another as I think there are advantages and disadvantages that we gotta take into account. For instance, the articles in Spanish is one of the grammar points I have seen English Speakers have struggled with. On the other hand, English pronunciation is really hard for me as considering that English has 14 vowel sounds this makes it harder for Spanish speakers for whom language has just the 5 sounds from the written vowels. I guess this is one of my biggest issues about getting better in English besides learning idiomas, and phrasal verbs. Can someone suggests some ways to improve my English and recommend some learning strategies?... Thanks in advance.
