   Learning a second language is a good way to improve
    brain function and obtain a professional advantage in
    many fields. When studying a second language, constant
    practice and exposure are key. Listening
    to, reading, writing and speaking the language reinforce
    what you learn. Although learning a foreign language is
    best mastered at a young age, there are a myriad of
    teaching methods, from cognitive to systematic, to
    match any mental stage or condition and result in
    proficiency.
    ❝The limits of my language are the limits of my
    world.❞
    ‒Ludwig Wittgenstein
   As an attempt to find out different ways people
    adopt in order to learn a foreign language a survey
    was conducted. The survey enquired about many of
    the most likely methods that one would adopt
    inorder to study a language and the statistics of the
    survey is as follows.

❝One language sets you in a corridor for life.
 Two languages open every door along the way.❞
 ‒Frank Smith
   A – Do you watch movies, T.V shows or listen to music in the
    respective language?
   B- Do you intentionally try to speak the language when
    possible with native speakers?
   C- Does sports commentary and games help in anyway to
    improve the language?
   D- Do you try to improve your vocabulary by repeated writing
    and listening?
   E- Do you listen to audio clips in order to improve your
    pronunciation?
   F- Do you make use of mobiles and internet to improve your
    language?
   G- Do you read basic literature in that language?
   H- Does publically speaking in front of people help?
   I- Do you spent a particular amount of time daily for
    studiying?
   J- Do you translate the sentence into your mother tongue in
    your mind while talking?
