Thoughts about learn a second language I've got surprise when I meet a person that resolves learning a second language and have no interest for the culture and manner of native people. I think that will be more hardest because to learn a language is beyond to learn grammar rules. Common expressions, slangs and, why not, facial expression, belongs to every idioms. One best way to know about a determined place's culture is, no doubt, through the music. This one can have many context aspects (social, political, cultural) which will help the student gain fluency in the new language more faster. Thank's for corrections.
