"Learning any new language is really an act of bravery. It takes patience, dedication, and willingness to try. Remember that it takes time, just like every other skill you might want to learn. So, when you decide you are ready to learn, dedicate 5 minutes a day to start. Start small if that's what will work best for you." - Rachael Nameth, CEO/Founder of ESL Works in New York City.
