Part 2/8:
Choosing a language should come from a genuine interest or need. For instance, desiring to understand friends who speak Spanish is a strong motivator, whereas wanting to learn Japanese just to watch anime might prove insufficient for continued effort. Some language classes can lack the necessary drive, while pressing needs, like living in an English-dominated area, can ignite a passionate pursuit of the language.
Selecting the Right Language
When it comes to choosing which language to pursue, it’s prudent for English speakers to start with Spanish, French, or Portuguese. These languages are notably more accessible due to shared linguistic structures, making them ideal starting points.
