Diary

I cannot use the habit of writing every single day in order to mantain my language skills. albit, sometimes there is no topic to to write about. One has to train this ability as one of the most important output activities.
I wish I could recall(remaind, remember). each(every) event of my daily life. but I´m just able to write on only a few ones.

Eu quero ágora assistir todos os  , porque faz tempo que eu assisti esta novela, más nao pude assistir algums capítulos naquella epoca.

I don't know why, but it's difficult to try to wreit on any subject at random. This is a matter of getting acostumed to do it. You have to develop the habit. In my case it has been pretty hard to begin.

I consider it could be very beneficial writing at least a few sentences per day.

Lo más importante

Escuchar una y otra vez. No importa si no entiende el 100 %. Entre más escuche el mismo contenido, más entenderá.

Escuche de manera pasiva y activa. Sin concentrarse en el sentido de lo que escucha, y concentrándose lo mejor posible.

Para captar el mensaje no es necesario saber gramática. La gramática se aprende de la lengua y no al contrario.

No trate de traducir a su lengua materna. Ud esta aprendiendo una lengua extranjera. La comprensión de una lengua no requiere de un proceso de traducción.

Otras ideas

Cantar, bailar o hacer ejercicio. Para amenizar las sesiones podría motivar a los usuarios.

Parafrasear para facilitar la comprensión. Esto significa, quiere decir, etc

Lenguaje corporal.

Repetición.

Shadowing.

Dirigirse a las personas de manera formal e informal. Tu, Usted y Ustedes.

Contenidos

Language Interchange

My experience in a language interchange in the interactive library of Baños, ecuador.

This is what I had been looking for. Because I hadn't a place where I could practice my target language. In this case English. Now, I find pretty enriching this workshop, where the English speaking people speak Spanish and viceversa. That's what I was seeking.

Credentials

I have watched a couple o videos recorded by Mr. Steve Kaufman, the canadian Linguist, at his youtube channel on the subject of language learning. In this case about the criticism of some lin guists that consider that Mr. Kaufman hasn't the credentials to speak about language learning. In response to that Kaufman defends his approach by saying that the experience is much more imortant than the amount of statements of scholars on the subject of language learning. 

Mr. Kaufman desagree with the theory of Chomsky about the universal grammar. As often happen with the majority of (most of) theories, the Chomsky's universal grammar theory cannot be supported by the experience. Sometimes, scientists complicates the understanding of a social and cultural phenomena, such as the human language. I'm completely persuaded and convinced thanks to my own experience, that Kaufman is right.
