I am relearning a language I studied in college, and the process certainly has its ups and downs. A big part if me wonders if I even learned that language well in the first place because relearning this language is hard. And I mean hard. Not to mention I don't have the resources I once had while in college. But regardless of the difficulty, I made a commitment to relearn this language and I am going to do it!
Anyway, to make up for the lack of resources I had in college, I am reading language blogs to get ideas on how to better my language learning skills. Within these other blogs, the writers point out how we learn languages as children compared to when we are adults. As I read these words today on one of these blogs, a huge realization hit me: all of us are amazing because we are fluent in at least one language (our mother tongue). Think about that one for a minute. We are so incredible! What an amazing accomplishment! So I figure if I can become fluent in one language already, I can definitely master the one I am working on.
I love this idea, and need to stop thinking I am incapable of doing something this awesome because I have already done it once. And I am doing it again!
Well I guess this was a random and short blog post for today. To end it, as always, I am infinitely thankful for my language-learning abilities.
