Learning languages


Learning languages is very important in our world today. Many cultures in the world are blending especially with the growth of the internet and travel industries. Let's face it, we are interacting more with people of different languages now than ever before. So learning foreign language is useful and ordinary thing. There are various methods of learning other language.
Firstly, teacher is really influential in the learning process. There are a lot of possible ways to help learning language. The most important way in my opinion is setting regular homework, because it helps to remember known information and get a lot of new knowledge. Second one is getting students to work in pairs or groups. It helps to express your opinion with other and better understand themes. Working through past examination papers is also very useful.
Absolutely, you must attempt if you want to learn language and find the way which is the most suitable for you. There are some unhelpful in the long run and some very good language learning habits. For instance, translate every unknown word as you read. Sometimes it is helpful but in the long run it can become useless, because in some situations you can’t look it up in the dictionary - you must understand text from the context. Nevertheless, guess unknown words as you read is also not so advantageous in all situations. Both habits are useful just in some cases. Also, only speaking in class when you are sure you won’t make a mistake is really bad habit. We are learning from our mistakes.
Moreover, there a lot of good learning habits. Very useful habit is to keep a vocabulary notebook and revise new vocabulary regularly. You must do this in order to develop your vocabulary. There are some more important habits. For example, reading newspapers or magazines outside class, watching films, TV shows in other language, speaking only foreign language in class. The last one is very influential, because you get good practice in speaking and this will be very helpful for talking with native speakers.
In conclusion, everyone uses some established methods in order to learn foreign language. But also we develop our own learning habits and skills, which are the most suitable for us and helps us to learn language as good as possible.
