Language learning experience

Of course, no one denies that learning languages is quite difficult. There are so many grammar rules and different words in which you can get confused..

I think most people had a shaky start in learning the language.. Initially, I went to an English tutor, because at that time my mother said that in the future it would be necessary to take an English exam. I didn't understand anything before. I didn't like going to extra classes and I didn't want to learn the language at all.

But over time I went to an English school, where everything changed. In actual fact, my friend and I decided to go and study together. But, unfortunately, we ended up in different groups, which made me feel upset and I didn't want to learn English even more. I used to be quite shy and didn't really like new acquaintances. That's why I was afraid to work in class and interact with people.

Over time, the shyness went away and I began to feel more confident. My marks have improved and the work in the lesson has become more active. Although I'm still working on it.

So learning a language is a difficult task, because I think some people have gone through and are going through the same stage. 

As soon as I began to learn the intermediate level of the language, a new teacher came to us. Everyone liked her and raised our motivation. Owing to her, I had more self-confidence in the exam and I enjoyed using her advices. Besides, I was able to believe in myself and not give up all my efforts halfway.

Soon I realized that it was necessary to put language learning into practice, not only at school but also at home, to learn it on my own.

In my free time, I began to pay attention to English but I try to study it every day. Once in a while I had burnout and didn't have the strength to do anything. There was interference and I was distracted.

But it passed and I continued my study. I immersed myself in the language again, found out sth new and developed myself. Of course, sometimes it was very difficult but I got to grips with it, passed all the exams and even got a diploma, which I am very happy and proud of myself.

Now I plan to attain the C1 and C2 level but that's not all. Last summer I wanted to learn a new language. I chose Spanish and started my study, which did not last long. There were some difficulties again. I abandoned this language but I remember some phrases. However, I'm not going to stop there. When I find the strength, time, desire and motivation, I will continue my study. And then I'll learn other languages as well.

In the end, I know that I need to resist my laziness and fight for my goals and dreams but I also should remember about my well-being and respite.

I still struggle with speaking skill but I've become more open and not as repressed as before. Any progress, even a small one, is better than nothing. I will try my best but I will not back down in any way!

That's it. I hope you enjoyed this article! Don't be afraid of your mistakes, don't give up and keep at improving your skills! You'll cope with everything!
