6 When Tim was traveling, he _____. A met a lot of Americans  B spent a lot of money  C spoke a lot of Spanish 

Read the article. Choose the correct answer. How many ways are there to learn a language?

7 Samantha learned Japanese _____.

 Do you want to learn a language? We interviewed three people who  learned a language in very different ways.  Louisa is 36 and a mother of two. She went to evening classes. “I quit working when I had my first child. Then a year ago I signed up for a Portuguese evening class. At first, it was really difficult. We had to speak Portuguese all the time in the classroom, and I didn’t understand anything. Also, when you only have one class a week, you have to do a lot at home. I studied when the children were in bed and listened to Portuguese CDs in the car. At the end of the year I could speak Portuguese fairly well.”

Tim is 23. He went to Spain to learn Spanish. “When I finished college, I wanted to travel and learn a language. I already knew a little Spanish, so I decided to go to Spain. I didn’t want  to take formal classes, so I bought some CDs and listened to them before I went. I traveled around the country for six months. It’s the only way to learn! I didn’t have much money, so I worked in cafes. That meant I met a lot of people and learned a lot of Spanish. I also had a great time. I’d definitely recommend it.” Samantha is 29. She took an intensive course in Vancouver. “I studied French and Chinese in college and got a job with computers. I missed learning a language, so I asked my boss for a one-month  vacation and enrolled in an intensive Japanese course in Vancouver.  We had six hours of classes every day, so it was really hard work. We all communicated in Japanese. The problem was that when I went home, I spoke English again. The course was fun and I learned a lot, but I’d like to take a course in Japan next time.”

Example: When Louisa’s first child was born, she _____. A worked in the evenings  B continued working   C stopped working  1 Louisa found learning a language _____. A easy  B boring  C hard  2 She took a Portuguese class _____. A once a week  B every evening  C during the day  3 Louisa did extra studying when she was _____. A taking care of the children  C in bed 

B driving 

4 Tim went to Spain because he _____. A could speak Spanish very well  B knew some Spanish  C studied Spanish at college  5 Before he went, Tim _____. A took some classes  B practiced on his own  C bought a home-study book  American English File 2
