How many times in your life to you think 'I should have done that when I was younger and had the opportunity'? It could be about any number of things, from a holiday, to a career opportunity, to a lifestyle choice, to learning something new. Sometimes the opportunity re-presents itself, sometimes it does not. My latest one is a combination of all four really. I am trying to make up for it now, but it really is much harder!
I want to learn to speak Italian. I started to study Italian at University but gave up because, to be honest, it was just too much work. My motivation to re-study it stems from all four of the reasons as it will allow me to travel around Italy, improve my career prospects, give me more flexible lifestyle options and obviously learn something new. Unfortunately learning a language at night School once a week, whilst working full time and having a social life is no walk in the park. Hence the 'I should have done it when I had the chance'. Nevertheless, I am determined to do my best and with any luck succeed in mastering a reasonable level of understanding and communication by the end of my course next summer!
Why is it that we have to learn things the hard way??? Still, it seems to motivate people considerably more than the easy option.
