English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I  studied the two languages when I was at highschool. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Travelling to the country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you can not speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better. However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing.

FAMILY VOLUNTEER DAY

The first reason why many families do volunteer work is that they feel satisfied and proud. The feeling of fulfillment comes from helping the community and other people. In addition, volunteering is a great way for families to have fun and feel closer. But many people say they don’t have time to volunteer because they  have to work and take care of their families. If that’s the case, try rethinking some of your free time as a family. You can select just one or two projects a year and make them a family tradition. For instance, your family can make and donate gift baskets for the old homeless people on holidays. Your family can also spend only one Saturday morning a month collecting rubbish in your neighbourhood.
