[QUOTE="Peregrinopaul, post: 1100534, member: 22956"] Hi Alex. I identified totally with your post. After visiting Spain for ten years, and still only having the ability to converse in tourist Spanish, I've finally decided to make the effort to seriously learn before my next camino. For the first time, I've "enrolled" with a tutor, because I have never had the discipline to persevere solo with Babel and so on. We have probably had 10 sessions so far. Like you, I learned Latin for 5 years at school, and textbook French. I am extremely frustated that it should be so difficult to make rapid progress - I agree with JW, that it's an age thing. I find now that my ability to put coherent sentences together is pretty good, but when my tutor speaks to me normally, I go blank. It's very frustrating. What I can say though, is that having a weekly lesson does impose a structure, and I think I will persevere. [/QUOTE]
