my language experience

                         Some words about learning

  I think it's impossible to learn a language without making mistakes. It isn't very good if you make too many mistakes, people can't understand you. As to me, I can use my mistakes to improve my English to learn from them.

  The idea is: if you just sit back and are passive about what you’re trying to learn, if you don’t take risks, if you don’t try to use what you’ve learned, I think you can’t learn a language, or you only learn how to get by in basic situations. I fully agree with the statement that anytime you learn something, it’s trial and error.

 What makes a good student? In my opinion, a good student should be keen on learning and stick to it. Also, it’s a good idea to be a good time manager because if you make the most of your time, don’t kill the time, you can do more things during the day. I always do a difficult or unpleasant job straight away, because when I do that I can do a less difficult job or have a break. I don’t leave any work until the last minute. I think that I am a punctual person, because I try to do things in good time and never come on my appointments and classes late.

  I tried to keep lists of things that I needed to do in my head, but once my memory failed me, so I started to do lists of important things. When I studied at school, there were piles of paper on my desk. Now there is only a forest of stickers. I break huge tasks into smaller jobs. I start to do my task during two or three days.

  And what makes a good teacher? In my opinion, a good teacher is able to listen well to a student’s concerns, answer questions well, explain anything that the students might not understand. And of course a good teacher should love teaching.

  The best way to learn English or another foreign language is to go and live in an English speaking country ( or country the language of which  you’re learning), get lots of foreign friends. Communication in routine situations is also a good way to learn a language.
