Language learning is an interesting topic for many researchers: even today we still don't know exactly how we learn a language. As a child, we learn our native tongue by intense repetition and complete imersion around us and we need 1 or 2 years of continuous input in order to be able to talk something.
But how we, as adults, can learn a new language? Here are some tips and thoughts that I think are useful to a language learning journey:
At the beginning, don't focus too much studying grammar, focus on listening and reading your target language as much as possible, as well as learning vocabulary. Our brains need to get used to understand a new language, and this process takes some time.
Constancy: Rather than study a lot two or three times a week, try to study a little bit everyday. Our brains are made in a manner that we forget things quickly: this phenomenon is explained by the forgetting curve (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve). In order to maximize retention, we need to constantly review the same information, until it became stored in our long term memory. Some people use an SRS (Spaced Repetition Software) like anki to review their target language everyday.
After some time reading and listening your target language, we also need to practice our writing and talking. For some languages, these are harder steps, but they're still necessary in order to achieve fluency. Try to mantain a journal/blog like twitter and write something in your target language everyday. You can also frequent local language learning meetings (at least after covid19) to train speaking. Don't be ashamed of making mistakes, everyone does it while learning something.
O aprendizado de idiomas é um tópico interessante para muitos pesquisadores: ainda hoje não sabemos exatamente como aprendemos um idioma. Quando crianças, aprendemos nossa língua nativa através de intensa repetição e completa imersão; precisamos de 1 ou 2 anos de input contínuo para conseguirmos falar algo.
Mas como nós, adultos, conseguimos aprender um idioma? Aqui estão algumas dicas que acho úteis para uma jornada de aprendizado de idiomas:
No início, não foque muito em estudar gramática, foque em escutar e ler o seu idioma de estudo o máximo possível, bem como aprender vocabulário. Nosso cérebro precisa se acostumar a entender um novo idioma, e esse processo leva um tempo.
Constância: Ao invés de estudar muito duas ou três vezes por semana, tente estudar um pouco todos os dias. Nossos cérebros são feitos para esquecer coisas rapidamente: esse fenômeno é explicado pela curva do esquecimento (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve). A fim de maximizar a retenção, precisamos constantemente revisar a mesma informação, até armazená-la na nossa memória de longo prazo. Algumas pessoas utilizam um SRS (Programa de Repetição Espaçada) como o anki para revisar o idioma de estudo todos os dias.
Após algum tempo lendo e ouvindo seu idioma de estudo, também precisamos praticar a escrita e a conversação. Para alguns idiomas, esses são passos mais difíceis, mas ainda são necessários para atingirmos a fluência. Tente manter um blog/jornal como o twitter, escrevendo algo no seu idioma de estudo todos os dias. Você também pode frequentar encontros de aprendizados de idioma (pelo menos depois da covid-19) para treinar a conversação. Não tenha medo de cometer erros, todo mundo erra enquanto aprende algo.
Language learning is an interesting topic for many researchers: even today, we still don't know exactly how we learn a language.
As a child, we learn our native tongue by intense repetition and complete immersion around us and w. We need 1 or 2 years of continuous input in order to be able to talk something.
It would be a different sentence because you keep repeating "and". It is also sounds more natural to add a pause.
But howcan we, as adults, can learn a new language?
You can also attend frequent local language learning meetings (at least after covid19) to train your speaking skills.

As a children, we learn our native tolanguage by intense repetition and complete immersion around us and w. We need 1 or 2 years of continuous input in order to be able to talk something.
I split the sentence into two parts because it was a little long. "As children" instead of "as a child" because you are using the first-person plural ("we").
But how we, as adults, can we learn a new language as adults?
I suppose you could say, "But how, as adults, can we..." but this way sounds more natural to me.
Here are some tips and thoughts that I think are useful to afor language learning journey:.
At the beginning, don't focus too much studying grammar, f. Focus on listening and reading your target language as much as possible, as well as on learning vocabulary.
Our brains need to get used to understanding a new language, and this process takes some time.
Constaistency: Rather than studying a lot two or three times a week, try to study a little bit every day.
"Everyday" is an adjective ("this is my everyday routine").
Our brains are made in a manner that wetend to forget things quickly: this phenomenon is explained by the forgetting curve (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve).
In order to maximize retention, we need to constantly review the same information, until it becaomes stored in our long -term memory.
Some people use an SRS (Sspaced Rrepetition Ssoftware) like aAnki to review their target language every day.
"Anki" is capitalized because it's a proper noun, but "spaced repetition software" is a general term that doesn't refer to a specific product, so it's not capitalized.
After some time reading and listening to your target language, weyou also need to practice our writing and talspeaking.
For some languages, these are harder steps, but they're still necessary in order to achieve fluency.
Try to maintain a journal/blog like tTwitter and write something in your target language every day.
"Twitter" capitalized because it's a proper noun.
You can also frequattentd local language learning meetings (at least after cCovid-19) to tprainctice speaking.
I think Covid-19 can also be written "COVID-19."
Don't be ashamed of making mistakes, e. Everyone does it while learning something.

Nice job! It might be helpful to review independent clauses and comma rules. Here's a link: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/punctuation/commas/extended_rules_for_commas.html#:~:text=about%20comma%20use.-,Comma%20Use,%2C%20nor%2C%20so%2C%20yet.

Here are some tips and thoughts that I think are useful to a language learning journey:
At the beginning, don't focus too much on studying grammar,; focus on listening and reading in your target language as much as possible, as well as learning vocabulary.
Our brains need to get used to understanding a new language, and this process takes some time.
Constancy is key: Rrather than study a lot two or three times a week, try to study a little bit everyday.
A single word by itself seems out of place, so I expanded it into an independent clause.
Our brains are made in a manner that we forget things quickly: t. This phenomenon is explained by the forgetting curve (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve).
Sometimes you can use a colon to connect two independent clauses, but that is usually when the second part clarifies something that was left unexplained in the first part. (E.g., "I know why he's acting strange: he didn't have his morning coffee.") In this case, a period or perhaps a semicolon would make more sense than a colon.
In order to maximize retention, we need to constantly review the same information, until it becaomes stored in our long -term memory.
Some people use an SRS (Spaced Repetition Software) like aAnki to review their target language every day.
"Everyday" without a space is an adjective that means ordinary/normal. It is not the same as "every day."

"Train" is not generally used with gerunds like "speaking" as the direct object, so I expanded it to have "skills" as the direct object.

Two independent clauses cannot be separated by a comma alone.

Most of my corrections were just punctuation. Overall very nicely done; keep it up!
