Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:45:12 +0000http://runawaydaydreamer.com/?p=131#comment-117This is a very important point indeed! I agree with you on the whole, but a culture has lighths and shadows and sometimes our judgement about a culture is not so unilateral. From my point of view, just to say an example, I like some sides of American culture like the importance of journalism (the fifth power…, a real watchdog of democracy), the literature (I love some writers like Cormac McCarthy and Alice Munro), the cinema (Martin Scorsese, of course), but I don’t like some common behavior that have become culture (a tendence to make everything a show, too much attention to success and money) and, as you say, these sidews can affect my interest and effectiveness in learning English. The choice of the language is not so easy for everybody, there are rational factors and feeling ones to consider. Probably the feeling factors are more important, and the younger you are, the easier the choice is…

It’s beautiful that you want to immerse in the Italian culture! I’m sure you’ll enjoy the history, arts, nature, food and so on 😉

Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:58:28 +0000http://runawaydaydreamer.com/?p=131#comment-19Everything makes sense now! 🙂 I usually choose my languages on a gut feeling rather than a tangible reason. I totally agree with you and I now realize that as soon as I found myself fascinated by a culture I felt compelled to learn its language as well. And that’s why French and Dutch feel so natural, while German seems almost impossible.

Sat, 19 Apr 2014 09:18:59 +0000http://runawaydaydreamer.com/?p=131#comment-17Definitely! I have just started learning Dutch because I’ve always loved the country and the culture.
Even though there’s not many resources to do so, learning Burmese is high on my language learning list because the country is very special to me. I think my will to learn it will overcome the lack of resources! We’ll see! 🙂

Sat, 19 Apr 2014 09:16:59 +0000http://runawaydaydreamer.com/?p=131#comment-16Definitely! Culture and language go hand in hand and I learn so much about a culture from the language they use!
I have always loved Holland and so have recently started learning Dutch. For the same reason, Burmese is high on my list of languages to learn because the country is amazing and means a lot to me. Even though there’s very little resources out there to help me with Burmese, I think my will to learn it will be what pushes me through…we’ll see! 🙂

I told him that I wasn’t learning it for any reason other than I love Italian culture and want to have a tiny part of it in me.
Even if I’m not Italian.
