Hi,
My name is Zhen-ting. I bought your book about six months ago and found your
language-learning journey fascinating! I read your book “the linguist” from cover to cover
and totally agree with your point of view. You said that one has to learn his or her target
language intensively so that he or she can master it in short time. This is exactly what I
do when I try to master a foreign language as quickly as possible.
But a question emerges. Let’s take you as an example: how can you maintain the
fluency of your already-learnt language(s) when you’re are involved and
devoted in learning your new one(s)? Since you spent most of your times learning
Chinese in Hong Kong, what did you do to prevent your French from getting rusty?
Please be so kind to reply this mail to me because I want to learn French and Italian
well without forgetting English. I thank you in advanced. |
