Yes it is difficult but challenging to learn a new language as an adult, but very rewarding...the accomplishments, the disappointments, daily, combine to provide a really wonderful opportunity...when I return to Australia I hope to organise like you a once weekly conversation catchup, and then in six months to returni to the language school in New Caledonia before hopefully returning to Villefranche next year. The course here is absolutely fabulous...and the location is perfect!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314472207391333807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901114477389861814.post-36155906486712313932013-04-13T08:27:38.747+07:002013-04-13T08:27:38.747+07:00A Japanese visitor who I was showing around our ci...A Japanese visitor who I was showing around our city once said to me at the end of the day, I am sorry, I just cannot talk in English any more today.

I would love to immerse myself in a full course at a language school but it is not possible near here. Learning your first words after you have already turned 60 and your memory is not what it used to be is not easy!
