Plans to learn a foreign language quickly and easily remain unfulfilled, leaving a worrying question in my mind: "Why couldn't I? Let's see what "couldn't" mean. Before you act, first decide for yourself: How much do you need, for example, English, the most common language? Do you want to be able to talk? Do you want to communicate in English when you go abroad? Or do you want to read books on it? Watching a video? Write online with foreigners? Or just help your child learn lessons? All these lessons require different levels of language skills as well as different types of language skills.
REALISTICAL AND NEREALISTIC STATES
When starting work, you need to define the criteria for evaluating language learning. It is easiest for a student who prepares for the exam, constantly training: he or she performs tasks, learns the results and can therefore really see how the preparation goes. The situation with the assessment is much more complicated for an adult. For example, you decide that you want to learn how to read books in English. Or speak English. Do you start? Then it is time to decide how you will learn. In studying a foreign language, a high level of proficiency is the result of long work. So be patient. You will need to study regularly. Lessons from time to time will not give the desired progress and quickly disappoint. Are your expectations realistic? Learn to appreciate not just the knowledge of the language (which, alas, will not happen), but your progress: you began to read, were able to build a sentence and say something.
IF YOU NEED
Learn to read the lessons you take may not be frequent, but regular. And get ready to read a lot. Do you like books? Learning to read books in their original form is a worthy goal. You only have to start with adapted texts, and you need to read a lot. Talk to your teacher: let him or her help you with your literature, gradually complicating your texts. For a beginner, reading the simplest texts in a textbook is a joy and a victory. If you want to learn to speak, you need frequent lessons, with spoken methods. It will take years, not months, to learn to speak freely. Perhaps you have thought about intensive courses to talk quickly. Courses like this will do if you're going to prepare to go abroad, where you'll have to speak English. Because intensive courses are a start; the rest of the knowledge is expected to be "gained" in communication with foreigners. Sometimes a foreign language course is compared to a gym class, where the result is achieved with the help of long exercises. One of the common mistakes is ignoring training. For example, they learn entire lists of new words, and then forget. It is better to learn less words, but many times to practice their use. Usually a foreign language is taught in a complex: to speak and understand by ear, and read and write. Naturally, we do it all in our native language!
I DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY.
That's not true! Learning a foreign language requires not just one ability, but a whole group of abilities. You can safely say that everyone has one of them, and no one has all of them. This means that you will be given something easily, and something else will have to be done. Do you write competently in your native language? If you are good at literacy in your native language, it will not be too difficult for you to become literate in a foreign language, because you need the same abilities. If you have a good musical ear, your foreign language intonation will not be too difficult. You can feel the beauty of the sound of the language, start talking beautifully yourself. If you have good logical thinking, then you will be interested in the patterns in the use of the rules of grammar, alignment of words in sentences. All those who study a foreign language move forward at different speeds. This is normal. Everybody has their own
HARACTER.
One person will be free to start a conversation without fear of saying something illiterate. He will be sincerely glad that he was able to turn to the other person and that person understood him. The other person will not say anything until he is sure he is speaking correctly. He or she may seem a bit stiff for a while, but maybe one day he or she will surprise both his or her fellow students and the teacher. The problems are different. Maybe you're just making high demands on yourself or you need some time to believe in your knowledge. Most likely, these experiences are familiar to you, and they arise not only in the process of learning a foreign language. Then it is worth some time to resemble a psychologist to feel more confident not only in the classes of a foreign language, but also to improve the quality of life in general. By the way, if you are sensitive to the way you are treated, listen to yourself: how comfortable is it for you to be in this group, to communicate with this teacher? Now there are many language courses and tutors. In an environment where there is a choice, it is not necessary to commit violence against
