Saying of the Week


Rome Wasn't Built In A Day
An educated native speaker knows about 50,000 words in their own language. To be able to hold an everyday conversation in English you only need about 2,000 words.
It takes about 1,000 hours of study to become proficient in another language, and about 3,000 hours to become an expert (on the same level as a native speaker).
It's not easy to learn a new language. It takes practice and a lot of perseverance. You need to keep at it every day. One step at a time. One block at a time. First, the foundation. Then, the building. And so on.
"Rome wasn't built in a day."
