Leia um fragmento da canção “Have you ever seen the rain? ” da banda Creendance Clearwater: 

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been comin' for some time

When it's over, so they say
It will rain a sunny day
I know, shinin' down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

Para muitos, aprender um idioma estrangeiro é tarefa quase inalcançável. O texto a seguir indica caminhos que desmistificam essa ideia. Na sequência, responda a questão.

1According to language experts, you can learn basic communication skills in weeks and master the basics of a foreign language in several months.

2 Sometimes travelling the globe for work will force you to come up with ways to master conversation in many languages. This is the case of Benny Lewis, an engineer, who learned enough of seven languages to work easily such as German, French and Spanish, and attained near fluency in several others, including Mandarin. “The biggest barrier in the beginning is the lack of confidence,” said Lewis. “That got better and better for me [as I spoke].”

3 Indeed, simply having the courage to speak is necessary if you are going to make progress in a foreign language, language experts said. “A lot of people don't make progress if they don't open their mouths,” said Michael Geisler, the vice president for language schools at Middlebury College in Vermont in the US. “If you are not willing to put your identity on the line, progress will be slower.” This means not being afraid to take risks or make mistakes.

4 Geisler believes that total immersion is key to mastering a foreign language quickly. The more you immerse yourself in the foreign language – such as reading, listening to the radio or speaking to people – the more rapid your progress will be.

5 As a recommendation, consume media in the foreign language. Even if you are starting out, read illustrated children's books or watch familiar films in a foreign language.
