They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not guarantee success for every adult language learner.What kind of language learner are you?

Now, the modern family, in which both the father and the mother are equal partners, is more common.

It is interesting for me to compare the customs of marriage in the United States with those in my country.I’ve lived in the U.S. for four years now, but I ’m still not comfortable with the customs here. In fact, what seems strange to me is that courting or dating is not always for the purpose of finding a husband or wife. Some people seem to do it as a hobby.Though I can certainly see the advantages of the freedom that is given to American youths to choose whom they will marry and when, I think I still prefer the customs of my home country. I suppose that’s because there is not so much guessing and uncertainty.61.
