!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

Finding the Time to Study Languages


jezebel.com

I was asked how I find the time to study languages. I am planning do a video on the subject. First I did a little research by googling the term above, "Finding the time to study languages." You can do the same. I will list here the first few links that I came across.

Finding the time to study languages can be a problem for independent learners. Most independent learners do not live where the language is spoken. Most cannot afford the time to attend classes

. Most have professional, family and social obligations and routines. What to do?
1) Develop the ability to rely on listening as your major language learning activity. Develop the ability to listen while doing other tasks. This will give you at least 30 minutes, and usually much more every day, that you can devote to language learning.
2) Devote some of your reading time to reading in the language you are learning.
3) Devote some of your TV, video watching time to doing so in the language you are learning.
4) When you have the chance to speak do so, but don't worry if you don't.
5) Most of all decide that learning the language is important. We all find the time to do things that are important to us.
