A brief note about learning languages........
One of the many ways in which learning a second language helps you "the learner" is by opening/developing what you already know. Huh?........Okay it's like this: knowing a first language is a sort of segue way into knowing an another.......Huh?,,,,, Okay stay with me here......
It is much easier for one to learn to read in a second language if one already knows how to read in ones own language.......If you can read then YOU CAN read. Period. The ability to read transfers rapidly across languages.....Get it?......As a reader you already know all the rules to follow on how to read (left to right, sounds etc) now you just need to apply them to the reading of foreign language.
Basically the old adage that: "Old dogs can't learn new tricks" is definitely NOT the case in acquiring language. The older you are the more of an advantage you have.....See I knew that getting old had its advantages!
Hope this helped!
