You have already made up your mind to study a new language and decided on English, as you know it has more advantages than other languages in terms of careers, business, technology, science, education, etc. But, is there anything else you should know before learning it? Here are 6 things shared in this blog by Ms Sonu Goel, Founder and Director of Café Converse, Delhi’s leading institute for learning the English Language you should know.
About the English Language
What are the Main Features of the English Language?
It is receptive and heterogeneous because all through its history it has accepted and adopted words from almost all other languages. The simplicity of its inflection and its relatively fixed word order is noticeable too. It has various ways to express the same ideas or feelings, which makes English a rich and varied language.
Is it Simple to Pick Up?
It is a simple language to pick up at the starting and most students can start speaking it and master its basics fairly faster. It turns a bit more complexed at very high levels, particularly if you want to achieve fluency. However, difficult things can be achieved if you are committed, you are the only one who is responsible for mastering a skill. The most essential thing about learning a new language –or any other subject- is to get so much involved that it can become part of your lifestyle.
Things About You
Set Achievable Goals
What inspires you to learn English and how far would you want to get? Your goals will inspire you and assist you to choose what areas to focus on. Keep this in mind when you feel discouraged or when you think you are not improving the way as you expect. Not seeing instant results is NOT a waste of time: even if you are not making progress, things happen in your mind and after a while, you will realize you have improved.
Feel Confident
Do not get demotivated because you are not as good as you think. Be positive and turn your negative statements – such as “I don’t understand what you are saying”) into positive ones (Can you speak a bit slowly, please, I am still learning). Confident students will interact more fluently sooner.
Things About your English Learning Process
