What do you do to learn a language?
The most important thing is to keep the desire to learn.
I try to read when I have the and also talk to native speakers.
Find people with the same interests as you . This is not as easy as it might sound.
I started writing a blog to store everything I find interesting.It is the site I have all .
I did it in my own language to help all those who would want to do the same.
But I thought to blog in English would help me to learn. So this blog was born.
I guess it is also important habit and desire that each set.
I read the other day I had to talk fast and not paying attention to grammar.
What is the most effective method?
What has worked for you ?

Hi, Marisol!
I'm sorry for that I can't visit your blog so often. I've been really busy for moving, painting for studying abroad in America again and the international porcelain Mexico convention. I hope you understand me.
Anyway, in my case to improve my English skills I've been doing 4 things every single days.I've been speaking, writing, reading and watching TV shows in English. I've been doing them every single days over four years. And plus I sometimes study abroad in America to polish my English abilities. All of them has really been working out for me.

Hmm, I suppose there are many different techniques to help learn another language. After 7 years, I have learned that the most important thing is to keep working. You must read, write, listen, and speak every day in the new language. Another important technique is to be humble and accept correction! It is obvius that while you learn, you will make many, many mistakes! So if a person is too sensitive, then his friends will not correct him! And finally, remember to have a sense of humor! When we laugh, we learn more and also become better friends!

Thank you for your comment.
I do not feel bad if people correct me. I think is the way I have to know what I wrote wrong.
