They say it gets easier....

Good luck on your venture into the unkown realms of a new language. I hope this turns out to be an enrichful experience for you.

I was remembering a while ago that I heard somewhere that learning a third, fourth,... language is easier. Because of certain skills that you have already developed in the acquisition of your second language, the following languages will lay themselves out for you rather simply. of course, you will have to put effort into it, but it is more likely that you´ll find the language´s logic quickly.

You know?..., that could be another motive for your reserch on this assignment. Experiment the language on yourself always asking yourself -
In comparison to my second language acquisition, Does this third language seem easier or more difficult to me?
How am I processing information?
Am i unconsciounsly comparing French to English or Spanish? or

Are you doing it like me?
I aisolate the meanings and separate them from the words. This allows me to have access to the fundamental idea, feeling or notion of a sentence. As a result, I easily produce the idea, feeling or notion in any of my two languages. But then again, I´ve spoken both languages all of my life. i don´t have a conscious memory of learning a second language. Well, it´s only thought.

If indeed you decide to follow through on my proposal, I would really love to recieve your input on this learning expericence. You see, an important thing about being a language teacher is that you must know what your students are feeling when you are teaching to them. You must know what their frustration feels like, what their triumphs feel like, what the learning routine feels like. The only way to know this is by actually going through the experience.

This experience will thrust you into educational stratospheres which you probably at the moment are not aware of. Believe me when I say that this experience will not disperse itself into oblivion, but in its stead a stronger grasp will extend from within and merge awareness and higher conceptions providing a broader and endless vision of your craft when you are faced with the honorable task of unlocking wonderous things in the expanding minds of your aspiring disciples. :)

The more you open your persceptions to reality, the wider the scope of your vision.
