    Steffan considers listening to music a good way to learn a language. He has been studying English in London for 5 months now after learning English in school in Brazil. He finds that watching the news is useful for learning as newsreaders speak slowly and clearly. Pia started learning English in Sweden at age 8 in school where it was taught quite formally but also made fun through activities like watching films without subtitles. She is now studying Latin which is a very different and more difficult experience than English. Simon enjoyed studying French which was compulsory in his school. He spent time in France and wants to take night classes to improve, as he feels it is important to speak the local language when visiting other countries.
