Learning a Second/thrid/fourth language

Is anyone else learning an another language? Yes

What language? German

Any tips for learning another language? whatever language that you learn, it's gonna takes around 10 years to dominate it, so don't pressure yourself, allow your brain to learn the concept, not the word, that's an error people does, they "translate" the word, and what you need to do is to learn the sound and the concept, same like you do with your maternal language, you don't translate, you hear, repeat and learn the concept. If you speak spanish, then you will find easy to learn arabic, I remember that "acelga (sp) in arabic sounds like asalku, alcachofa (sp) in arabic sounds like "har-su-fu", ajonjolí (sp) in arabic a'simsimú, etc., I know a little bit spanish, and I learned a little bit arabic when I was at north Africa, I heard spanish has a big influence of arabic, around 8%, and of course the ground is the latin (75%), 15 to 20 % from greek, 3% gotic and 9 % from persian, german, amerindian, etc. Actually the spanish language is one of the most riches language that exists in all the planet, and the only one that is able to express feelings in a vast scale of emotions. I don't remember who said hundreds of years ago that spanish is the language that poets speak, for the same reason, majority of language have just one way to say love, while spanish has at least 4 or 5 different ways to express the same according to the intensity, like aprecio, cariño, afecto, querer and amor.

Do you find it easier to learn as an adult or do you wish you learned as a child? age isn't matter, I've read that the most important is keep in mind that our brain has the capacity to built new cells and learn new things, but if we start to believe that age will affect our learning capacity, then we create a limit idea, and the limit idea it's gonna make difficult to learn the new thing. I read it in the psychological magazine.
