learn how to do it – that’s why having a good teacher is important.

One of the most important things in learning a foreign language is that you really want to learn the language –
without that, you won’t 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”
There are other things: of course you need to work hard, but at the same time you need to enjoy it and don’t get
frustrated when you feel you aren’t making much progress. Moreover, learning a language takes time, you can not
expect to know and understand everything in a few weeks. You should try to develop an ear for the language – not only
to recognize the sounds of the language and to understand what people are saying, but also to 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’s why having a good teacher is important.
