Respond to the following prompt that is between 200-400 words: Use APA format with citations.
Have you learned or tried to learn a second language? What was your experience like? What were the most difficult and easiest aspects of the language to acquire? If you have not tried learning another language, do you have an interest in pursuing this? What do you anticipate would be the biggest challenges? Think about the language acquisition theories that you learned about in this module. Do you see connections between those theories and your own pursuit of a new language?
