Language Imitation

1- He was a typical of Texan people,tall and wearing cowboy hat from cow town(Fort worth). he was talking too quickly such that my translator compiler could not catch him and I was usually behind him some sentences.sometimes he said something and laughed and I started laughing with him pretending I underestand him.He looked 45 years old,I asked him"how old are you?"
"55"
"You look younger than your age!"
"My dad is 85 years old and he wanna start working. "
"Are you married?"
"No,I am single but I tried 3 times but it was not successful."
In my veiw most of people are younger than their ages and look happy,althogh the divorce rate is high and if you ask 2 people one of them would say I got divorced,bu still they are happier than people in my hometown country.sometimes when I am thinking about this fact it bothers me deeply.

2- A 10-12 years old Mexican guy came and told me"if you need any help my dad would help you.""No,thank you"I told.I started talking to his dad and he was a translotor.It was interesting that dad could not speak English but son could.

"How long have you been here."I told to dad

"3 years"

"what do you do?"

"I work on roof construction."

"which grade are you?"I told to his son.

"third"

"Was it hard to learn English?"

"No,after six months I learned."

This is true that learning any language is inveresly proportinal to age,in other word if we get older learning a foreign language becomes harder like this case for Mexican dad, and it is easy for son because he is much younger.In our age even if we learn English completely we still have an accent,but one of ways for eliminating accent is imitating native people,and everybody who is better in imitation he is more successful in this amtter.
