Who are learners?

As we have already discuss this topic in our last class, now is time to do a written assignment again, and It was an idea I came up with, and then my Teacher accepted to tell everybody that we should write answers from the photocopy to write a new entry in our blogs.

So, the questions we have discussed were about our second- language learning experience. And as I mentioned on my last entry I wrote I was persuated by my parents to study English, besides school.

It's known how important is to speak in a second language for everyone's future.

So, I went to English classes with my sisters twice a week from 16 pm till 17.30 pm without knowing why we were supposed to be there.

After some years went by I enjoyed the learning process with my mates and my teacher, her name is Mary Rose, nd she was so nice to work with.

I haven't choosen the language, my parents and society had.

Firstly I havent had purposes for learning, I just went to classes. And as I grew up, I began to believe how important was to know how to speak. I got my first job working in a bilingual Callcenter in Buenos Aires. Without having experience in other jobs, but just because they were looking for young bilingual students.

It was not the best job I had, we had to talk to angry american customers at night, but after that first part time job I could achieve other opportunities.

After I finished last year in English, I wanted to learn another language. I listened to some french songs and I though I could learn from the very beginnig, without knowing much. And I went to Alianza Francesa, and there I learnt not only how to speak and write in French but also I got interested in french's Culture.

I hadn met lots of french speakers to practice, because I wasnt aware of where they met.

After travelling to Europe, and meeting new french friends, I was told that they learn Spanish here in Buenos Aires. And that there is a large comunnity of french, canadiens, and europeans living here.

That was true, and I got to meet international friends here, and I nowasays I work in a company where we send argentinians girls and boys who want to do the same experience I had. And I can speak with dutch, german, english, french, american, chinese agencies who work along with us to receive our applicants. Is an interesting part time job, and I can keep on practicing my languages. 

The next 27 thof JUne, I will have my first Chinese class. And the main reason I want to learn a 3rd language, is because I am fond of speaking with international people. And to challenge myself that I can communicate with others, and that our brains are capable of knowing more and more than what we expect.Challenges should be always a great tool to go for as long as we grow as a person and as professionals. To have the knowledge in different subjects. I'm not good at maths or science but I guess I can be good in speaking languages. And of course, teaching them!
