I've wanted to learn French (or Spanish) since I finished my English course when I was 13. Now, I am 31 and I'm an English teacher for ESL students. I decided to finally enroll in a French course because I wanted to remember what is like to be learning a language you are not fluent. I want to know better my students' struggles. And it's been a very interesting experience. I can relate with my students in a lot of things. The embarrassment of trying to say a word you don't know the pronunciation, the struggle in creating a sentence you don't know all the words. I always tell my students they need to practice English outside the classrom, that the classroom is just 50% of the effort. And now I know how difficult it is to do that. There are weeks that I only rely on the classes and I don't study anything at home. I hope I get fluent in French in a medium/long term and remember more things about it is like to be in the student position
