How do you stay motivated? It seems like we have a lot of people here who learn on their own and some who also use a teacher, or some who use a teacher, but only every so often. For those of you that do not have a  constant class you go to, how do you stay motivated? How do you decide what you need to learn next? Is there a schedule you use? What about any specific apps for learning or videos or websites? Is it only when you feel the desire to do so, or do you force yourself to study even when you do not want to? What keeps you going in your language-learning journey?

How important is it to review general grammar ideas not before learning a new language? How important do you think it is to review what different parts of grammar are before learning a new language? For example, if someone is trying to learn a new language, but forgot what a gerund is, what the difference between a direct object and an indirect object is, what an article is, what a past participle is, etc, how helpful do you think it would be to review all of these ideas before even beginning to start a new language. I think it is very helpful because all of the rest of the grammar rule will make sense and be so much easier to learn. It seems like it would cut the learning time dramatically because you have a framework from which to work. What do you think?

Why are you learning a foreign language What are the specific reasons you are learning a new language? I have noticed that many people start to learn, but then give up, except for those who have a very specific goal in mind. For example, do you wish to move to another country in the next five years? Ten years? Are you in love with someone who is native in another language? Do you plan on becoming a certain type of professional who requires English (like working in aviation)? Apart from all of the standard responses like "it helps you learn about other cultures", "it expands your mind" etc. I would like to hear from those who have achieved a high level of a foreign language or who have been studying for at least a year and a half what keeps you motivated for so long to keep going? How to you keep striving for fluency and studying for so long?

Necesito algunos hispanohablantes que estén interesados ​​en aprender inglés.

Necesito algunos hispanohablantes que estén interesados ​​en aprender inglés. Voy a estar enseñando inglés a hablantes de español y necesito practicar un poco. Tengo un curriculum que usaré. Me gustaría que algunas personas (quizás un grupo de diez) sean completamente nuevas en inglés y quieran aprender. Necesito que te tomes en serio el aprendizaje. Tendré lecciones de 7-10 EST. por alrededor de una hora. Todavía no estoy seguro a qué hora, pero coordinaré con todos mis estudiantes. Tenga en cuenta que esto es gratis, simplemente necesito práctica.

English/ Italian/Portuguese or Spanish Exchange and GAME I think this is a good idea to practice languages you are learning. I would like to do this for any of the above languages because I think it would be the easiest for me for those as I am not at a high level for the other ones yet. Many of you have played this game before. you make several categories: animals, cities, colors, foods, school subjects, famous people, etc.. you then pick a letter of the alphabet and try to fill in the categories, you do this until someone finished then you all stop and count how many you filled in . An original answer counts as 10 and a non original (one that someone else chose) counts as 5. You keep doing this for as long as you want and then tally up the numbers. I would like to get a game going maybe on skype with a group of people for one of these languages and then we can alternate between languages. It will help to be creative and come up with words in the new language

I pensieri Quando ero piccolo, non lo sapevo completamente, ma ero un ragazzo povero; ma, ciononostante, mai mi consideravo un povero ragazzo. Non avendo molte risorse, invece di passare il mio tempo giocando, preferivo di un'altra maniera; ho passato il mio tempo tra le stelle.. Io sempre mi piacevo pensare e sognare ad occhi aperti. Quando sei giovane e una cosa pensare, ma quando cresci non lasciare che i pensieri siano il tuo unico scopo. Perche quando sei piccolo, questo e tutto lo che si pou fare, ma questi sono solo le preparazioni per gli azioni che viene. Come si ha scritto: " Quando io era fanciullo, io parlava come fanciullo, io avea senno da fanciullo, io ragionava come fanciullo; ma, quando son divenuto uomo, io ho dismesse le cose da fanciullo...." Perche poi si ha giunto il momento... Noi siamo tale cose di cui i sogni sono fatti. se ora è solo un sogno, continua a sognare. Se hai dimenticato come sognare: ricorda. ..che potresti mai più dimenticare. Solo tu sai il tuoi sogni. E se dimentichi, rimerano tuoi solamente Uno può dire che la dinamica più fondamentale della vita e andare da uno livello più basso di essere a uno livello piu alto Sempre sarà difficile fare lo che ti da paura, e sai qualcosa? Non lo avrò di nessun'altra maniera. Forse adesso ti pensi piu debole di fare lo che e necesario, di fare le cose che eri chiamato a fare. Dio ha scelto le cose deboli del mondo per svergognare le forti. Se vuoi riposare dopo di un fallimento, riposa, ma mai dimenticare. Però sempre ricorda: siamo tale cose di cui sogni sono fatti...
