thinking about that common question
Can I learn similar languages at the same times? But when we were at school we've already done this. English and french and spanish and german and latin languages . those have similitudes, but at that time did you ever asked this question to your professor ? I don't think From my personnal experience, I'm french, I've learned english at school and spanish. I losed most of spanish because didn't maintain it, for english I'm more fluent in writing because I keep it until today. I can't speak fluently because I don't use english in my daily or casual life. I've started to learn korean 7 years ago and keep it regulary, I'm not fluent but I can keep a conversation in korean with my friend, understand and I use it to maintain and learn japanese. I find speaking japanese easy, not because it is, just because I learned a lot through all those times, your brain's more flexible, you know more how you can learn more effectively What You've acquired its forever, it'll jsut come back if you need it. My compagnon acquired spanish in 6 months when he was young because he goes to spain for vacancy and his father put him with other spanish children, he didn't know anything, but he can understand and speak spanish even if he don't use it and don't try to maintain it, just using it one or 2 times with his father a year

Good question. Some people do learn similar languages with no problems. I’ve also heard it’s easier to confuse them when they are similar, but I think it depends on the person. When I lived in Germany, I would often mix up French and German and speak partial sentences in both at the same time. I almost always knew when I did because the Germans would look at me confused, lol. I remember more German than French because I spoke and heard it more often. I took 4 years of French and only one year of German in school. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to go to France when I lived in Germany. I guess that speaks to the power of using the language to maintain it. I do have an older cousin who lives near Paris, Jean Paul. My dad visited him, but I’ve never gotten to.

@Anna Aguilar Fortunately, I’m not worried about messing up. Done it too many times, lol. It’s part of the process. I enjoyed French and German and I’d practice French and German again, but there are very few people in my area who speak them. Once in a while, I’ll hear a tourist speak German or with a Germanic accent so I’m focusing on Spanish because the Spanish speaking population has tripled in my area since 2010 and I like to speak with people who are from different places. Soon I’ll be starting Arabic. Southern Michigan is one of the biggest, if not the biggest Arabic speaking areas in the United States. A lot of people think the Arabic population is a modern day event in Michigan, but the Levantine Arabic population has been in the Detroit area of Michigan since the 1870s-80s. Top languages in Michigan: 1. English, 2. Spanish, 3. Arabic, and 4. Chinese.

El poema es muy bueno. Me gusta leer poemas. He escrito poemas religiosos en mi vida hace mucho tiempo. I like the black belt degree concept. If I could get to the point of conversational level teaching in my EMS classes in Spanish someday, that would be a black belt degree concept. It’d be using basic verbs/vocabulary for much of the class and adding industry/hobby specific verbs/vocab. Kind of like different levels of black belt in martial arts. Cementing the basics with a twist. Add another industry/hobby level conversation mode and it’d be another degree level. So someone who has mastered conversation and mastered several hobbies/topic specific verb/vocab could be considered a grandmaster (7-8th degree depending on the martial art).

W/B día 18 thoughts
I couldn’t find the thread for day 18 so thought I’d put this here. @Tony Marsh labeled the white belt and black belt being in the same location in his circle diagram. I can say this fits with martial arts, at least mine (hapkido). We have a saying that when you get your black belt to remember that you haven’t arrived, you are actually just beginning. You’ve gone around the circle back to the start point (white belt). Hapkido is big on circular movement. Now you know the fundamentals, but you are always refining them. Refining the fundamentals drives mastery. I just got my third degree and am about 4-5 years from my 4th. 4th degree is achieving the rank of hapkido master. Most of the techniques at the master level are actually white and yellow belt techniques but with added applications, but they are the same techniques. Makes sense, you’ve mastered the basics. Kind of what was explained in day 17 where you’re doing boxing practice back and forth defending a right jab over and over til you can’t miss. “I fear the man who’s practiced one kick 10,000 times”-Bruce Lee. It’s like answering “¿estás bien? Sí, estoy bien or no, no estoy bien” over and over until it becomes muscle memory. I guess that’s what resonates with me in this method is there is a martial arts type thinking to it. Hope this was helpful and if you’ve read this far and haven’t gotten the white to black belt course yet or are thinking about it, I’m pretty sure you can tell, I recommend it. Have a great day.

I am slowly finishing the course. I did a mini one sentence ensayo and an expanded one. I wanted to practice contracting and expanding. I took one question from each section. I wrote it with a lot going on around me so if you can read it, you did good, lol.
