I started having driving lessons when I was 17. Although I'm normally a quick learner, I just wasn't able to do it . After 18 months I failed my first test - I was really disappointed. Since then I've taken the test again three times, but I've always failed - usually on reversing or parking. The problem is I get so nervous during the tests that I can't drive properly. It's so embarrassing to admit that I can't learn to do something that all my friends are able to do !

I've always wanted to be able to dance salsa, and when I was working in Ecuador there were free classes, so I joined. But the art of salsa is to keep your arms still and move your hips, and I just couldn't do it. When I hear music my arms start moving but my hips don't. After about ten hours of classes I was able to learn the steps, but I was dancing like a robot! I didn't give up, but soon everyone in the class was dancing and I was just slowly moving from side to side and counting out loud 'one, two, three, four'. I was sure that one day I would suddenly be able to do it - but that never happened. I can still remember the first two steps, though, and I still try to dance when I hear a salsa tune, as long as nobody is watching.

I've started learning English at least ten times. I've been to classes, I've had a private teacher, I've used a self-study course, but I've never been able to say anything in English. I even had an English girlfriend once but she learned Spanish before I managed to improve my English, so we always spoke in Spanish. I travel a lot in my job and I hate not being able to communicate - it's so frustrating. I'm thirty-two now and I think if you don't learn a language when you're a child, or go and live in the country, you'll never be able to speak it well.*

我开始有驾驶课的时候我17岁。虽然我通常是一个快速学习者，我只是不能够做到这一。18个月后，我第一次失败了，我真的很失望。从那以后我又考了三次，但我总是失败-通常是在倒车或停车。问题是我在考试中会变得如此紧张以至于我不能正确地开车。承认我不能学做所有我的朋友都能做的事，这太令人尴尬了！

我一直想能跳萨尔萨舞，和我在厄瓜多尔工作的时候有免费的课程，所以我加入了。但萨尔萨舞的艺术是让你的手臂仍然和移动你的臀部，我就是做不到。当我听到音乐我的手臂开始移动，但我的臀部不。大约十个小时后，我可以学习的步骤，但我像一个机器人跳舞！我没有放弃，但很快班里的每个人都在跳舞，我只是从一边慢慢地从一边移到一边，数出了一声“一，三，四”。我相信有一天，我会突然有能力做它，但这从来没有发生过。我仍然记得前两个步骤，虽然，我还想跳舞的时候我听到沙沙的曲子，只要没人看。

我开始学习英语，至少十次。我去上课了，我有一个私人教师，我已经用过一个自学课程，但我从来没能用英语说什么。我曾经有过一次英国女朋友，但她在我设法提高我的英语之前，学会了西班牙语，所以我们总是用西班牙语说。我在工作中经常出差，我不喜欢沟通，这太令人沮丧了。我现在已经三十二岁了，我想如果你是个孩子的时候，如果你不学一门语言，或者去乡下生活，你就永远都不会说得很好。
