Learning a new language can be a major struggle for some people but some take it up as a challenge and succeed in their goals in learning a new language. Learning a new language has many uses and advantages most of them, if not all, are to the benefit of the language learner. There are many ways to learn a language yet there are just three very important things which a language learner must possess: time, persistence and hard work.

Time is essential in learning a language. A language learner must make time for learning a new language. The learner should know where, in his or her list of priorities, is language learning situated. If it is among the top priorities of the learner, he or she should fit it on the schedule no matter how tight the schedule is. A learner must also know that learning a language takes a lot of time and it means it could take more than just a couple of weeks. Patience is certainly a virtue a language learner must possess.

Persistence is also one of the important things to be considered in learning a language. A language learner’s determination to learn the target language will enable him or her to have a full grasp of it. If a language has enrolled in a language program just to be called a language learner is pointless. A language learner must learn the language in order to be called one. If a language learner is persistent in learning, he or she will eventually be successful in the future!

After setting aside valuable time and having the determination to succeed, a language learner must involve hard work in order to be successful with his or her language learning goals. Putting in a lot of hard work means that the learner should learn the vocabulary of the target language, practice the construction of grammar, and using the language in order to have a better command of it. Hard work together with time and persistence will surely drive the learner to a successful language learning experience!

So what are you waiting for? Learn a new language right now and be sure you have the essential qualities of a successful language learner!

Language has so many forms. It can be in a form of codes, words, signals, colors, sounds, actions and texts. Language doesn’t have to be in a form of words. If two people can understand and relay messages in any form then it is considered as a language. During my freshman year, my friend and I made a secret code for the two of us only. So, we could write and send messages to each other without letting the others know the meaning of the message. This code we made became our language in communicating for the next four years of stay in high school. Our friends then became interested in it and so we taught them the language. Until almost everybody in school knew the codes we made. Even our teachers became interested in it and ask us to decode the meaning of the language we use because so many students were using it at that time. Yet we decided not to let the teachers know the language or code we made so that we could talk about a topic and don’t let them know the meaning of it. The learning of this code we made was easy for our friends because they have the desire to know it immediately to be able to join our group discussion using the code or language that we made. My friends’ reason in learning the language we made is important to them at the time. We fell in love with the language we made that is why we had used it for4 long years in communicating.

In learning any foreign language you should have a strong desire to learn it. The reasons for learning it should be strong enough for you to be interested to learn it - be it wanting to make friends (say poker nights with Spanish people playing their “juegos de casino” or French cooking cuisine nights or Italian nights at the opera) or professional reasons. You can hire a tutor if you want, research all you want, enroll in a class eight a hours a day and yet you found yourself still can not be able to communicate through the language that you wanted to learn. This is because the desire you put in learning it is mediocre. Being mediocre could make the learning of the language very hard. The second easy way to learn a new language is to assess the need and reasons of learning it. If the need of learning a new language is very important like for example putting up a business in that new place or studying in that place then you push yourself to indeed understand the language. If the reasons of learning the language are not that important then your willingness to understand it is very low then understanding it will take a long time. The third easy way to learn a new language is to love it at first sight. Could we imagine ourselves being in love with something or someone? We wanted to know everything about that thing or person. We want to be updated with everything about it. We dream and imagine about that thing or someone. Then this thing or person would occupy our time almost everyday of our life. Falling in love with the language we wanted to learn is one sure, fast and easy way to learn it. If you fall in love with the language you also wanted to learn everything about the new language, you wanted to spend time getting to know the language, then you hire people to teach you how to get to know the language, then you enroll yourself in classes that could help you polish your new language. Then in a month or two you are learning the new language and communicating with it the easy way and with such speed that you talk with it as if you are native speaking that language.

In our everyday life we of course used our daily verbal communication to let us communicate with our countrymen. Language is one of the reasons why we have a peaceful environment. Try to imagine a life without communication; it sounds boring and unhealthy living. Even mute people have their own unique communication but they still use the language through the use of body movements. Whether we like it or not it’s our obligation to learn our respective language for us to have a word to communicate. It is not necessary that we will study all the different languages in this world, but as long as we understand other people well it is enough. But we still try to study the languages which we use for international communication, such as English language. It is not mean that when we study that language we will then forget our own dialect, but still we need to remember and study the accurate language we have. Studying a language is a nice idea for us especially for business person. It seems that business person needed to travel other country for investing something; they must study and learn the language of a country where they want to travel. Investors are the people who travel across the country just to invest some business, but investors can’t easily invest without knowing the language which is the most important in negotiating a business.

Aside from business, studying a language is also important for students. Now let us talk about schools. Most of our schools nowadays are required to use a common language for student’s communication. And students are also obliged to use the language as well. In the country of Spain, the majority of there school are obliged to teach students the common language we have so that sooner or later they can compete to foreign people. To learn a language is not very easy especially if that language you study is not your own dialect. We need to give the best effort we have for us to learn the accurate language we want. Effort is the best way to learn languages; we have to try to learn. And to study a language is quite difficult yet enjoyable. Example English language, when you study English there is subject which we called it the accurate pronunciation. In that time teacher must taught students the exact technique how to pronounce a word, and it’s the time that you will use the different mouth movements. It is sound interesting if you experience the different mouth movements yet enjoyable to do so.

There are times that students feel bored in studying because of some reason that they can’t easily get the language well. But the teacher must do something for the students to learn fast about the language. Though English is the best language for us to learn since it is the only language where all people in this world understand each other. But still it’s up to you if you want to know the international language we have now.
