Learning a second language Hi! My first language is Kazakh and throughout my childhood, I used it more often than my second language which is Russian. Since my parents speak Russian most of the time I also picked up Russian and started to use it on a daily basis. Moreover, studying in Russian made a huge impact on it. At the same time with learning Russian, I had to learn English and now I am trilingual, but despite my passion for new languages I am facing a huge problem, and probably you all know what is it. But what is interesting is that I speak Russian more fluently and without blocks rather than Kazakh or English. And now I have to learn German and O!MY!GOD! the amount of hard sounds for me to say is endless. Do you have the same problems? Will it get better after everyday practice?
