It took me ten times nine days or 90 days to write and speak the language reasonably well - Me tomo tres meses aprender a escribir y hablar la lengua. 

I dare say that I had my share of frustration while I was learning English and I have no objection to admitting it openly but I never gave up my quest for mastering the language. Need I tell you more? Yes, perhaps much more than what I have already said. Just lend me your ears and I tell you how this came about. Needless to say that I admire your commitment to learn a foreign language by venturing alone perhaps with pretence to be a wiseacre, but that's is good as it is commendable in my book since one needs to be audacious in the face of the not known for one never knows the size of a task until one has weighed it carefully and considered the potential pitfalls of it. Nonetheless a quest is indeed the desire to obtain something by means of effort and it is expected of you to put some sort of endeavour into gaining skills and knowledge through discovering, studying and practising a subject. It must be said that 90 days is certainly very little time to learn a foreign language but in my experience the more I concentrated on hearing and reading Italian the more I was able to grasp the language which enabled me to make myself understood within ten times nine days.  Nevertheless, commitment, dedication, time, resources, research and support are essential elements in achieving one's goals in life - Quien quiere puede.  Concentration y atencion a los medios de comunicacion, al habla y a la lectura de la lengua fueron mis armas. 

Indeed, there is wisdom in taking an interest in what is going on in the world and I am delighted to offer a breath of fresh air to the spanish and english speaking world, and whoever else who wishes to make use of my Self-Help Reference for learners of Italian as a foreign language, in this open window of learning. Absolutely, I care for the world and its social issues and I think that it would be selfish if I were to say that they had nothing to do with me just simply because they do not affect me; on the contrary, I think we should always help when there is a problem in the world and give the world's misery a well-needed touch of guidance. Certainly not, an idea does not necessarily belongs to the person who conceive it but to the one who implements it and at a time when the world is blighted by a not cool to be clever attitude with a growing number of children failing to meet the academic requirement needed to be socially successful the need for stressing the moral values prescribed by society has never been so weighty. Nevertheless, it must be said that Figueras Baseball Academy with its baseball guidance is doing its utmost by giving its all to help the world and its social issues by promoting its principles of universal paticipation to everyone, but it is not all about connecting to people's passion for the game alone we are concerned with, it is about bringing together everyone, young and old, under the same umbrella.
