Antonio Graceffo interviews Codylanguages

An interview with Antonio Graceffo from http://www.speakingadventure.com (brooklynmonk1 on youtube)

Thanks for all the wonderful questions, I could easily write a book on each one. (well, I'd have to do a lot of research first, I mean I would like to write a book on each one, haha!)
They are all important questions that need to be researched and analyzed.

Do you experience the disgraphia symptoms you talked about when typing or only when writing by hand?

[Codylangaugesblog]

@getreallanguage both. But with typing it shows me something is spelled wrong and I can easily backspace and fix it.

@Codylangaugesblog I'm not sure about that... for example what I have noticed is that often times people who are good at natural sciences have difficulties with learning languages and vice versa.

Isn't it like saying anybody could master in mathematics? Because that wouldn't be true. Doesn't matter how motivated you are...

But I'll have to think about it more.

[Codylangaugesblog]

@ababayo358 I think all adults can do that if they have the right attitude and methodology.

[ababayo358]

@Codylangaugesblog But that's rather seldom I think, I don't think everyone could do that (but all children learn languages fast). But even then you have to have some sort of talent for learning languages to be fluent in 3 months. For example, I've had English since 3rd grade, once you're done with all the grammar it's all revision afterwards, but still there were always classmates who just didn't understand it and always got bad grades, they could study all they wanted it wouldn't matter.

[Codylangaugesblog]

@ababayo358 There are adults that can become fluent in 3 months. In fact learn a language in 3 months is Benny the Irish Polyglot's catch phrase.

[ababayo358]

@loki2504 I think children learn languages faster than adults, a 1-year old isn't a good example because at that age they only begin to speak their first words. But children from the age of 2-3 and older do learn other languages very easily, for example my brothers learned to speak my mothers language perfectly within 3 months when they were in her country on vacation, they were 3 and 4 years old. I have two other examples like that in my family.
