Quotes about Language Learning in General

"​Languages cannot be taught. They can only be learned." --Luca Lampariello

If you can't find enough reasons and motivations to learn a language, chances are that you will never learn it. --Myself

Drawing connections between your first language and your target language can be so useful. As an adult speaker of a language, you have an advantage that no “critical-period” age child could ever have: you possess an entire mental database of interconnected concepts, memories, and life experiences that have already been codified into a single language. As such, you don’t need to re-learn the concept of love when you learn it’s corresponding word in another language. With the help of translation, all you need to do is associate the native word—love—with the new word—say, amore—and the job is essentially done.--Luca Lampariello
