I would love to work as a professional translator and also work in the social media and creative field. Besides Italian, my mother tongue, I speak English, French, Norwegian and some Spanish. I have been studying English since I was in elementary school and then I added French to my list in middle school; I learned Norwegian during my year abroad in Norway during the academic year 2009/2010. At University I started studying Spanish. I think one can never be done studying foreign languages since they evolve with time and never stay the same. Therefore, I have still work to do with my four foreign languages! MY TIPS & TRICKS FOR: vocabulary learning My trick is to keep a journal or a notebook where you can write new words and expression everyday. Bring it with you anywhere so that you can easily access the information you have written down. learning grammar Grammar is the most boring part of learning a language but it is essential to speak correctly and make sense! The trick is repetition, repeat verbs and rules and, most important, put them in use! Writing easy sentences that contain a specific grammar rule you struggle with might be very helpful. speaking Speaking must be the scariest part of learning a language! You have to be brave and do not care about making mistakes because it is part of the process. Think that you know the language and speak as you normally would in your mother tongue, fake it until you make it!
