Many people can speak positive o negative about learning any language, but, until you really have a serious problem of learning, there is no impossible thing when you decide to study with determination one language.

Though travels language do not work for all of us, I believe that it is good to think that in some way these act on the students, in an important way.

As well as not all the persons we do not learn to the same rhythm, people that pass for similar experiences, have identical conclusions completely.

Whereas there are people that I know that doing these student travels language, they really have taught very much the Spanish (more than they could wait learn in a normal course). There are other ones who scarcely learned the necessary thing but, it did not discourage them of travels, because they realized that though, being people who was not easy to learn anything of the language, they think that now they know a society who before was a myth and a stereotype.

And, it seems to me that it is something important for a travel language. In this case, traveling to Mexico, it offers you the opportunity to submerge in Spanish language completely. Learning it correctly in formal classes, but also coexisting with the language in its real context.

Besides this, you can be able to perceive with your own eyes, located in external influence or commentaries of third ones, how this society is really.

There is something that I cannot stand, it is the prejudice, or early judgment about a place or people without knowing them totally.

It is true that Mexico could be a country with conflicts, but also it is true that if its policy is corrupt, not everybody is trying to fool you, or to defraud you, or to suggest you an act of corruption. I think, my worse experience with “badly meaningful” people were when I was in Rome, when I was seventeen years old more or less, and there was no place for lodging. I found a hotel but the owner tried to fool me (I paid several bills more).

Several years later I returned to this city with two Italian friends who showed me how “to ‘live” in this city. In fact, the truth is that if you do not know the language, in this case the Italian, you are staying beside.

I believe that the principal problems to learn a language start when you do not stop comparing it with yours. Also, if you do not dedicate real time to study and practice, it is difficult that you achieve something, and this is worse if you take a travel language and you are not responsible.

We must be conscientious because we can blame a teacher but often the principal problems to learn a language, are generated by us due to the weakness or laziness.
