Lentamente – slowly does it

I’m beginning to think that one of the main reasons we battle to learn a new language as we grow older is that we compartmentalize our learning.  If I can manage half an hour a day on my Spanish I feel I’ve done well.  Toddlers learn all day every day.  The only way we can hope to do the same is to move to Spain and immerse ourselves in the language.  Oh well, not going to happen in the near future, so will just have to persevere. Its a beautiful language!
