Learning Journal #10

For me I find reading in Spanish to be much easier than writing, listening, or speaking in Spanish. You still have to know vocabulary and understand the structure of the language when reading, but you need to really have the rules down if you want to produce writing yourself. It is easy to forget little things like accents or vocabulary words in general, so I would say reading is the first step in language learning, with writing as the second. You also have more time to process the language when your are reading and writing versus listening and speaking. My reading and writing abilities in Spanish are solid, so I personally have been focusing on listening and speaking more.
