 Learning languages has always been easy for me. I started learning new languages when I was 5 years old and my parents put me in a multilingual preschool and there I started learning new languages for the first time. I feel like the best way to learn languages is to just try and make mistakes and after that learn from the mistakes you have made. I went on an exchange during high school in a new country with a new language and by the “trial and error” method I learned a new language easily in a year. I think with English many people feel like they don’t have a good enough skill set to be using the language, because so many people speak English and it is all around us all the time. What people don’t understand is that English is not their first language and therefor we shouldn’t stress too much about pronunciation and just be proud that we have another language to communicate in besides our native language. I understand that it’s natural and good to still want to improve your English skills and there are many ways to do it. In my opinion the best way is to just have courage and use the language as frequently as possible, but if that feels too uncomfortable or impossible there are other ways to do that as well. I find watching tv shows or listening to podcasts a really good and pleasant way to do that because you can choose something that interests you, that way it doesn’t feel so much like work or mandatory. I myself have used these methods for many years and will continue using them. I’m interested to hear what kind of learning methods have you guys used during this term? I have learned many skills that will help me in the future during this course, mostly I have gained from the group work, and learned how to create a product from start until finish. I have already owned good communication skills and language skills in English and I feel like language skills in general are my strong suit.

  1. You make a great point about how people often place unnecessary pressure on themselves with English, forgetting that fluency takes time and it's okay to sound imperfect.
