I need to write in English

 I am 54 now. And I was thinking about a fact: I am not young anymore. And that means that it is time to stop studying English.

Exactly! One thing is to study something, another completely diferent thing is to use the language.

So, after a time of reflexion, I have discovered that what I have acquired  related to the language, I must use it.

Many times we forget that never we can have a complete domain of some knowledge, especially related to the language science. So, there comes a time when we need to stop studying and go on using the knowledge acquired.

How can I use the English? Where to use it? When and why?

Let's try to answer to those questions.

For the first one question, I must say that there are many ways of using the English, even if I don't live in a country where the language is spoken. For example, listening to music, wachting films, reading books, etc. I must confess that I have a special dificulty in listening with comprehension and I have not a companion whom to speak to. But I have ways of reading and writing. Even without a great amount of vocab I can read and write. It is possible to learn many things with a easy English, many matters can be learned because we can find many things writen in easy English about everything you want to know. And if you have a little knowlege of grammar, you can write in a simple English. So it is needed to practice. I so have arrived to this conclusion: I need to read in English and I need to write in English, thinking in English language.

As to the second: Where to practice? No matter where you are. You can read and you can write. The internet is the tool for that. In internet you find everything you need.

The third question is: When to use? Everywhere you want. There is no place.  do All you need is the will to to do what you want to do. So, if you want really to do something you will find the necessary time.

Least but not last, the question is why. Why to use a non native language? There are many reasons. In this case, I mean, for me there is one main reason: training may brain. If you don't go out from your comfort zone, you will not progress, you will stay always in the same place. But I think as the life goes on, we need to go on. And the best way for going on is always beeing doing something that challenges your mind.

If you think, you find many other reasons why to put in practice what you know, and the means for practicing that, and the place and what to do. That is what I think: I need to write in English. And that is the reason of this first post in this blog and the next posts that will come.

See you later!
