Languages discussion

This is where we share what went wrong when learning a new language so people can learn from our mistakes.

Personally I tried learning Spanish for like 10 maybe 8 years and it was rough! Seriously! I just couldn't learn it! I am great at memorizing but I feel like learning a language must be more than memorizing the word for lamp and the color blue.

I mean seriously when am I gonna need to talk to people about their new blue lamp? When I will more likely need to ask them where the bathroom is?

I didn't learn important conversational sentences but was taught more grammar when again I couldn't put a full sentence together.

I did it in school so no they didn't have us listen or watch anything. Just a bunch of words to memorize. I think that is why most people in America never actually learn a new language because they aren't teaching they way people need them too.

Yeah I agree it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I did end up using Rosetta stone which is better because you learn how to say the words but once it became conversational, I was completely at a loss.

YOUR FROM FRANCE!?!?!? That's so cool!
