Good morning, here is Steve Kauffman, and my channel talks about language
learning. Hey, if you like my channel, please subscribe and click on the bell to
get news, well. Today I want to talk about the problems, three problems huh... for
those who want to learn languages, issues that I always see in the cases
of... of people who want to learn languages but, but there are,
are, those problems, the first problem is that they do not realize the time necessary
to understand, uh... when we start in a language many times there is pretty rapid
progress at the beginning, we did not know anything, and well we can say
something, we understand something. It gives a good feeling, triumphant, right?
But after a while, he realizes that there is much that we can no longer say no...
words that make us, are needed right? It is this, it is, it is progress, it is a process
let's say, very slow, this of learning a language to reach a
level that is understood not but everything, but
a lot that we can have conversations with many
friends in the language that we are learning, eh ... but to reach this
level we need a lot of words, it is a matter of a long time and people who do not
realize that we need a lot of time to learn a language, well I know, they get
frustrated right? They often drop out, and that's why I think we have to, what,
to realize, right? You have to admit that it is a slow process, and that is why
we need to find ways to enjoy this process, language learning, and I
am going to talk a little more about this issue,
second problem, second problem, is that
many times because no, we realize that We need a lot of time
if we are listening, reading. For me, language learning begins with
listening and reading because you cannot just speak, speak, speak without
enough vocabulary to understand what the other is saying, no? So it is, this
learning is based on listening and reading, many times when we are
listening, reading something, well, we have
this feeling that we are not progressing and
how good we are going to do something else. It is
essential that the time that, that we dedicate
whatever learning is... 10 minutes, 30 minutes,
one hour, two hours, it doesn't matter,
we have to think that this time is important, it is contributing to
learning, how little by little listening, reading, our brain will get used to it to
the new language. We have to continue and, and...
it's straightforward to think something else,
play, uh... I don't know, look at what's happening on Twitter or whatever, no,
you have to focus and continue and be sure that The
time that we are dedicating to learning is worth it,
this is the activity that now, right now, I want to do,
so there is a lack of concentration, of confidence in the learning process itself,
it seems to me that it is a big problem, third problem, third problem,
always for me that I am not a native of Spanish, I will make mistakes, for
example, problem in Spanish is male, right? a problem, but many words in Spanish
that end with "a" are feminine, feminine, feminine, I don't know but
for me to speak with errors, it is not a big
problem, I prefer to speak without errors or with
the least amount of errors possible , but inevitably I am going to make mistakes,
but if I would have the opportunity to speak
more, because now, I hardly ever read or listen
to anything in Spanish or speak Spanish, but if I had the opportunity to do more
then little by little, I will do less , fewer mistakes but many people are
afraid of making mistakes that is a big problem because, of course, we do not want to
make mistakes but we have to make mistakes, it is a contradiction, contradiction
I want to speak without errors, but if I do
not make mistakes, it is that I am not there,
I am not talking, I am not trying to improve myself, so making mistakes
is important and it is not because there is a
correction or someone tells you not this, no,
it is not correct you have to say something else, it does
not suit you to correct right away, no, it is a slow
process like everything in language learning is a process so that the brain
gradually gets used to the new language and, but we do not have to, to
be afraid of mistakes, mistakes, are an, uh,
inevitable and necessary part of the learning process,
of aprendimiento, of learning, aprendimiento is Italian language learning
so all that can be summarized in a concept is that we have to enjoy learning,
that we need time, that we have we have to focus,
concentrate and that we have to make mistakes and
all of that should be pleasant if we can learn
in a pleasant way that we are progressing,
well, nice to meet you and excuse me, excuse me
for the mistakes in my Spanish. Goodbye. See you later.
