How to learn a language For a while, i have been thinking how teachers, in school, teach English, at least when i was studying, and there is a fail with the method. I know it's too complicated with 20 or 30 children, but first thing we learn is writing, vocabullary, with a book, of course i remember listening songs, however most of the time was reading. It is a mistake in my opinion because we need to make asociations with drawings and speaking, what i want to say is: People who don't know to read books, know to speak, so we have to change our mind and don't do: "casa mmm house", no we should say "house", doesn't mind what is the meaning on another language, we must know "house" is a building where people live and blah blah... That is too difficult and, even if i try do it, i can't do it. Few times i have spoken i think in Spanish, then translate to English... Well... i know i will have many mistakes. I have difficulties with verb + verb (when -ing, when to + infinitive...). Thanks for make the effort of reading this.
