Way to go! <br /><br />I remember moving to France when I was seven and picking up French in the span of a school year (I remember it was pretty effortless). My language teacher knew two words in English: "Shut up". LOL. I survived, though. I do remember my parents (in their mid-thirties at the time) struggling much more to learn the language. They took an extra year of language school and I remember my dad practicing his pronunciation in the bathroom --trying to get those "R"s just right!<br /><br />I can commiserate with adults trying to be fluent in a new language. I don't understand why foreign language instruction doesn't start in Kindergarten -- it's so much easier to learn as a child!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251616457906473735noreply@blogger.com
