Oh yeah, absolutely! As I get better we say more things in Spanish and she corrects all the mistakes I make. I am struggling right now as I have just started taking on different tenses and I'm finding it rough, I was always more of a maths / science guy in school languages don't come easily to me xD

Good! Bring the language into the household... What are you "struggling" with right now? I am a language professor BTW. Math and numbers were never my thing; hah.

Yeah it is strange how our minds all work differently, numbers and scientific concepts just naturally make more sense to me.

It is mainly just trying to get my head around the way everything conjugates in so many different ways, it doesn't help that I also struggle a bit with the language behind describing language (if you get what I mean), so often I am having to learn the proper meanings of words contained within questions to then try and come to the correct answers in Spanish.

It will obviously get easier over time and once I start grasping the concepts of languages it will make actually learning the language itself easier.

I practice a bit everyday though so it will come with time :D

Can think of it this way: When someone learns a language for the first time, they are also learning about their own language and how it is constructed. So, in reality, you are learning TWO languages at once; which can suck! But it is worth it in the long run by far.

Absolutely! I'm just wishing I paid more attention as a teenager in French classes now and learnt more at the time as that would've made my life easier now xD
