What is secret of successful language learning?

1) I think the most important thing is that you really have to want to learn the language - without that, you would not get very far. You also have to believe that you will do it. imagine yourself using the language confidently, and think, "Yes, i can do that"

2)Then there are other things: of course you need to work hard, but at the same time you need to enjoy it and not get frustrated when you feel you are not making much progress. And you have to be realistic - learning a language takes time, and you can not expect to know and understand everything in a few weeks.

3)Also, you should try to "develop an ear" for the language - not only to recognise the sounds of the language and to understand what people are saying, but also notice the exact words and phrases that people use. and then try to use them yourself. Some people can do this naturally, but others have to learn how to do it - that is where having a good teacher is important!

4) For me, motivation is the most important thing. You have to be ready to study grammar, read a lot, listen to English songs, radio and TV, and you have to do these things systematically.

5) If you are motivated, you learn to overcome this. You should work very hard and do things which is connected with English. For example: You should try to spend two or three hours every afternoon in the school or university library reading the newspaper, books. Secondly, you should try to get a part- time job in a cafe or something. You will have to speak English and you can earn some money too. At the end just try to speak to everyone. You should not worry if you make mistakes or if you do not understand everything that people say - just try to understand what you can.
