Studying a foreign language, it could be hard. I am studying English and Italian and I think it is a challenge. For that reason, I looked for tips to learn them in a better way.

In a YouTube tutorial, a girl said she develop her accent and vocabulary by listening to music singed in the language that she is learning. I think another way to improve the pronunciation is by watching movies with subtitles. It could help us to hear how to pronounce each word. But, learning a foreign language isn’t just check and use grammars. You also must know many things about the culture of the country where these languages are spoken. In my Italian class, the teacher organized a fair of gastronomy of this country and I had to cook a dish and I decide to cook risotto. I learnt to prepare it by reading a cooking recipe and by watching a video. Speaking fluently is another thing that everybody who is learning a foreign language has to know. In my last trip to Baños, I had the opportunity to speak with an Italian man who was visiting Ecuador. It was so difficult. I couldn’t understand several things that he said me. That’s why I improve it skill by speaking with my teacher all the time that I can.
