LIFE: Hey you, language learner! You can do it!
Thoughts crossed my mind and I wanna put it into writing
I honestly don't know how would this go...
Here are my thoughts about learning a language...
They're purely my opinion based from my experiences.
Learning a new language will never be easy. There will be mountain of hurdles and discouragement along the way...but they're all part of the process.
I think one of the hurdles is the drive to start learning. Sometimes there would be this feeling that we "want" to learn but for whatever reason we just can't push ourselves to "start" learning. I know...I've been there...
It takes a big big step to start opening a textbook and to start reading the first chapter...but when you've passed this stage, you're one step closer in learning your target language. So go and take that ONE BIG STEP!
After passing that hurdle, next would be being consistent. Being consistent is really a hard thing especially when we have a lot of other things to do. I myself is still trying to be as consistent as possible. But I believe with proper practice, patience and time management, studying my target language will be part of my routine. Learning is a CONTINUOUS PROCESS!
Discouragement will be present along the way.
Some would say that the level you are trying to learn is "easy"and it might really discourage you but hey, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS "EASY" when you're learning something new.
Some would judge you for studying a certain language, but hey, they can't even speak a thing in your target language.
You would make mistakes and might feel bad, but that's okay! It's totally okay to make mistake and feel bad about it. They're part of learning. No one will judge you for making a mistake so DON'TBE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES.
And the hardest hurdle would probably be "insecurities". I am in no way a self-help guru or an expert in this matter but I think insecurities would always be present and what's important is the way how we will handle and accept them. Honestly, I am most insecure about my Japanese skills now where in fact I am in the stage where I am reading textbooks for intermediate level and being an active learner. It's weird right? But we won't really know when will insecurities and self doubts attack. BUT! DON'T! LET! YOUR! INSECURITIES! EAT! YOU! ALIVE! Learn to accept them and assess them...what are the things that you could do to cope up with them? For example, if you're insecure with your reading skills, then face it and practice reading articles in your target language. YOU CAN DO IT!
Never be afraid to start doing something. Remember that CHANGE STARTS IN YOU.
And lastly, GO WITH YOUR OWN PACE.
So...hmmmm...I think this ends here...thanks for reading my little chitchat *hugs*
Wishing you all the best, language learner!
WE CAN DO THIS!
