Learning A Second Language

Some people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English little easier and more interesting.

The first step is...

Feel positive about learning English. If you believe that you can learn, you will learn. Be patient! You don’t have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. In other words, don’t worry about taking risks.

The second step is...

Practice your English. For example, write in a journal, or diary, ever yday. You will get used to writting in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. After several weeks, you will see that your writting is impoving. In addition, you must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmate outside class. You will make all mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in English.

The third step is...

Keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your journal. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand something the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these accomplishments in your journal.

You must be positive about learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will feel more confidence in yourself.
