So many students and friends have asked me, "what's the best way to improve my foreign language skills?"
Living in Europe as a child I was exposed to a lot of foreign languages, but didn't really start studying one till I
was about 11, living in Spain. In one year, I developed basic conversation skills. Immersion learning is pretty
good!
Over the years, my Spanish was sharpened in South America and another trip to Spain, along with some university study.
Then I lived in Malaysia for a few years, and picked up basic conversational skill in Bahasa Malay.
Also, I studied Arabic for a few years.
I've lived in Korea for seven years as of October 2008. Though I only actually studied Korean for seven months,
I can basically communicate, though my grammar isn't perfect!
This study is about foreign language study strategies. I hope you enjoy!
