fluent in Spanish, learning Portuguese

what i found funny was that in my first Spanish lesson there were 20 people in the class, second 18, third, 16, the tenth lesson there were 5 people in the class. Its like people realise that it takes more than a month to learn a language and give up because of the quick fix pill popping culture we've grown up in.

I found learning Spanish was very hard and put in ALOT of work to become fluent (and its one of hte easiest languages in the world, i cant imagine learning Chinese :/ ) a years worth of lessons in australia and a year spent in south america got me fluent. Im picking up Portuguese really quickly now because learning a second language is always easier than the first
