My success learning a second language

82nd wk T 전지영

In Korea, English is one of the hot issue.

Many people are studying English even if they are babies.

So many people are even if they don't want to do it while others like to

do.

I think there is no option about studying English. We just should study to

survive in present.

But it's very hard to study effectively.

In my opinion, You need tenacity, choosing effective way and active

characteristic.

Those are very important aspects of success of studying English.

First, tenacity is one of the most important thing that people can have to

be successful in studying English.

If people keep on trying and never stop working for their goals, they will

achieve what they want.

How can be patience when people study Enlish?

In my case, when I was an university student, I thought the higher level

in English class than I was really in would motive to achieve my goal.

But that made me exhausted soon.

Everyday I studied very difficult terms not useful for real live. After

studying, there was no places to talk with hard words and serious topics.

So that time, English that I studied was not mine just like wind.

It was easily gone, so I gave up to study continuously.

When I started to work as a teacher, I taught elementary students.

That was the reason I restarted to study English with easy, simple

sentences.

I could feel interest.

After that I studied with easy conversations, cartoonbooks and chapter

books for kids, accordingly so far I keep studying now.

Those could motived me.

To get tenacity, choose easier one than your level.

If you think it take many times, but it is a shortcut.

Second, there are so many methods for learning English. But the best

way to retain English is teaching others.

After I worked as a teacher, I learned much more than I expected.

Because my major was not English literatures, I prepared a lot before I

stood in front of my students.

Not on purpose I had to do it and when I taught, I could review

automatically.

So my retention rates could be higher over 90%.

If people use this method, their English will improve I bet.

Last, one of the important aspect is an active character.

Some says English is a study.

But I think that is the way to communicate with people, nations,worlds.

Many people hesitate speaking English in front of others and they're

always afraid of saying things and making mistakes.

So they always have to wait until they've perfected something.

If you do, chances to talk are gone.

We need to be more active. Nobody judge your mistakes.

Especially Korean is shy because they tend to hesitate.

I'm a outgoing person. I'm not afraid of speaking with new friends, when it

comes to speaking English.

I try to be more active even though my English is not perfect, but I just

enjoy talking with others.

That will be the one way to improve speaking skills.

In conclusion, Globalization is changing the way we live.

Therefore learning English is very important part of our lives thesedays.

It is a must.

With tenacity,( it sounds like individual tendency but with easy books,it will

be yours.) effective method, (to get chances to teach others if you can)

active attitude,(stop waiting, just do it), your English must be successful

because they are more efficient for learning.
