YOU CAN DO IT! T Good to alk! Learning a language is a common New Year’s resolution, but it’s also one of the most challenging – requiring real hard work and plenty of learning from your mistakes. But if you live on Lanzarote, it’s going to be much easier. If you want to learn Spanish, or any other language, bear these tips in mind: l KNOW WHY YOU’RE LEARNING Motivation is vital for language learning, and if you don´t know why you’re doing it, you’re chances of success will suffer. On Lanzarote, for example, the advantages of learning Spanish will far outweigh those of learning Japanese, for obvious reasons. You’ll find that showing off to your friends is generally a bad reason, while wanting to genuinely communicate with speakers of other languages in their own tongue is a hugely powerful motivator.
