@Fabiola_Plaza1@ChildNeuroSoc Congratulations! I am a physician who started studying Spanish at age 71. I feel it has helped me better understand my patients and I hope they better understand what I explained and recommended. It’s never too late to expand our minds!
super honored to have been able to present my research at the @ChildNeuroSoc Annual Meeting! loved getting to watch amazing presenters and meet incredible people :)

I memorize common phrases when learning languages. For example, yesterday I memorized responses to common questions I'm asked in Mandarin. I usually fumble these questions, despite the fluency I have. Now I'll be less likely to make mistakes when asked those questions.

Can you relate to this?
Despite being quite fluent in Mandarin, I can still get nervous when speaking. One reason is that I’m not always able to express precisely what I would like to say. A part of me is afraid I’ll freeze up if I can’t find a synonym on the spot.

I taught a student who made lots of grammar mistakes when talking. These 2 easy changes helped her speak more accurately:
1. Speak in short sentences
2. Focus on getting the "I" and "you" conjugations correct

Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30! The best time to prepare is before a storm hits. Don't wait—have a plan, build your emergency kit and stay informed.

In my experience, speaking a language is often hardest for those who primarily use these materials to learn:
• Apps
• Books
• Videos
• Podcasts
For such people, I've found that spending more time on conversation helps solve the problem.
