Re: The Answers to Discussion Topics
Q: What did your parents tell you when they discovered you study 2nd language on your own?
When I was young I thought that my mother didn't bake enough cakes - so I started to bake them myself. And soon after I also taught myself how to make pudding.
That's the logical solution for people who are told to focus on one language and finish it before moving on to no. 2
