English language courses: why try?

The importance of knowledge today, at least the basics of a foreign language is not just the actual value of culture to a particular individual. It is a means of survival. This is a banal need to be able to understand what is written on the price tag, sign, log, help your child to translate the text (at least in elementary school), to ask and to understand the Turk or Greek, which will indicate the path to the desired store with decorations of white gold, and not feel weird in a multicultural society. I'm not talking about employment, when every "decent" specialist needs to know the basics of vocabulary and grammar to communicate (at least by email) with partners from overseas.



Where such mistrust?


Whatever you say, but society was not quite adequate representation about the courses of a foreign language. And there are perfectly understandable reasons, which essentially boils down to available negative experience.




The first experience of learning in a group, each of us got to school. Then the class is divided into two equal parts, during foreign language lessons differed in two different offices. Some of us have learned the language in school, others have a background, others generally have not learned anything in the last 7 years studying the subject. Hence the impression...




No better than many were University students which belonged to foreign as a "necessary evil" that must survive the first few years of study. And experienced... Cheated, did Cribs, wore the bags with candy and brandy teacher. In short, did everything to foreign language behind you as easily as possible and as quickly as possible...




Many of those who have not lost hope, even tried to go on courses... that's where the fun begins...





Why not help?


Reasons why "you have failed", can be a lot. Let's start not with someone, but with themselves.





Motivation


Extremely important in the study of a foreign language plays a motivation. If you don't have a goal that pushes and pushes, your initiative is doomed to failure. After all, we have to work regularly and a lot...





Diffidence


Doubt, "I can't" and "I can't Do that" we must try to eliminate them from your consciousness. Of course, nobody says that you without a dictionary will read Sidney Sheldon, but no one puts in front of you such a goal. When you shake the Apple tree, any number of fallen apples will be fine. And a couple pounds... In any case it is better to know something than absolutely nothing to know...





Liability


Many people are afraid to take courses in foreign language, because it's a certain responsibility. First, to pay immediately for 3 months or six months is to get in front of yourself, your family or your friends a commitment to "work out" money. This means, you will not be able to reverse. Fear of liability binds our determination. But the problem, again, is in yourself.





Greed


Many believe that you can simply buy yourself a manual and it's in the bag. But they forget that language is a living substance, which requires a dialogue, not a monologue with himself. To learn a language on the tutorial can only be experienced polyglot. And money... Money in this life have to pay for all the things and services that are at least worth something... Believe me, private lessons from an experienced teacher will cost you several times more expensive.





Indiscipline


If you go on courses, then began to wag, and coming again in 3 weeks, anything can happen in class did not understand the reason for it not the teacher, who explains poorly". You are guilty of this yourself. For the implementation of any important decisions requires discipline.




To marry, you need to make an offer, to apply, to buy the ring at the appointed time to be in the registry office. If you do not, the wedding will not take place. If you want to get paid, then you have every day to go to the office and do some work. Why do you think that a foreign language is something less serious? There is also need discipline. But it is not a burden but a necessary tool in order to achieve the intended purpose.





Distrust


Somehow, we are extremely wary of teachers who are ready to teach. And I think that they can "bad to explain" and "ignore our pace" in the explanation. And you trust! Trust and ask! The teacher - not the computer, waiting for your response only 30 seconds. This is also the man who, according to the wishes of the group may adjust the amount and rate of learning.





Ineffective methods


Forget about school and poor Stahovich, family life which we studied in school textbooks. There are so many new techniques and programs that you can choose on your own taste. In addition, many training centers offer trial classes in which you can find out that suits you this course or not, and pick up another.





Motivation, determination and responsibility - that's all you need. Otherwise, trust the experienced teachers. And you will be happy!
