RE: ADSactly Learning - Pineapple Language Hacks #1: Anyone Can Become Fluent in a Foreign Language
@whatamidoing, your testimony is a great motivation to learn new languages. It is complex, sometimes, or because of lack of time, or lack of will or because we do not apply the necessary dedication. With your example, it is clear that wanting is power. When you want to reach a goal you do everything possible to go after it. You made it. I was surprised by the short time you learned Mandarin, what was it due to? Will it be easier than any other language? Did you put more interest? It would be interesting to know your answer. Your contribution with the publications that you promise to help those who want to learn a new language is very commendable. I will be attentive to learn from those tips and finally be able to learn, in principle, English and not continue using the Google translator :). Very pleasant this publication, grateful that @adsactly is a channel to reach quality content.
Immersion helps, but I have some very specific kind of immersion that I'm going to talk about in the next few posts. Not being afraid of making mistakes and just speaking helps a lot too, this is where a lot of people mess up. My big mistake with Japanese was spending all my time in the books and not speaking at all. And being interested is essential. If you only want to learn for some intangible goal you've set, it isn't easy.
