learning a second language

Second language learning is a complex, long-term effort that requires much of the learner. Share your experiences in learning or attempting to learn a second language – English, French or another language. Identify the method(s) that you experienced as a learner and give at least one example. Describe your own (a) commitment, (b) involvement, and (c) effort to learn. This discussion should bring to light a variety of teaching methods and learning patterns.
