Diversity is one of the most unique characteristics of the UK’s Capital. One could be on the platform waiting for the subway and hear passer-bys by speaking different languages. That’s why I think London is an ideal place to study languages. First you learn grammar at a language school London provides and then you can easily find someone to put that new knowledge in practice with a native speaker living there. That’s what I did and now I can be proud of being quite good at some European languages. My first Romance language was French. In London French classes are quite famous for many schools bringing some of the best professor from the continent. It is very common then, that tutors speak that language as a mother’s tongue. One day I made a Spanish friend who could speak neither English nor French at all. But I didn’t last to realize that I could understand a bit his speech because of my French progress. I thought that if both languages were so similar, it would be worth to learn Spanish as well. For people who try to learn Spanish London is as suitable as French. I have proofed that both languages are quite close. That is an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time, as I tend to mix up both languages. That fact stopped me from my intention of learning a third Latin language. So, Italian courses London offers will have to wait for me until I feel more self-confident with Spanish and French.
