The difficulties in learning foreign languages

 Students should learn foreign languages. They became important especially at the present time. Foreign languages are needed as the main and most efficient means of information exchange between the people of our planet. Today English is the language of the world. It is the language of computer software, literature, education, modern music, international tourism.

As for me, I learn English because it expands my horizons and prepares me for a successful career. If you know English, you can get a better job, more money and people will respect you more. Besides, English attracts me because it’s the language of business and computers. English is also very useful when you travel abroad. When you speak English to people, they’re often a lot more friendly and helpful because as we know to speak the second language is to possess the second soul. More than that, learning English is a good exercise for the intellect, though, of course, it’s a tricky language to learn because there seems to be more exceptions than rules.

If you want to be a good language learner you should be independent, organized and active. You shouldn’t expect to learn English just by sitting in the classroom but  always look for opportunities to develop language outside the classroom, for example, read English books and use different educational programmes which you can find on the Internet. Some students think that being able to communicate is the most important in learning a language and they do not care that they make many mistakes in speaking. As for me, I’m concerned with both communicating and accuracy.

Learning a foreign language is important if you want to travel or do business around the globe. It is mandatory in many universities now to take a foreign language course. However, learning a new language comes with its own set of problems. Even the brightest of students can find the new language to be difficult and hard to understand. However, we know where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Each language has its own set of grammatical rules, and they can be quite different from what a student would normally expect. In one language, the verb must come before the subject, and in another language, it is reversed. In some languages the verb does not change with the pronoun. For example, in Indonesian, the verb “to go” is the same with all pronouns, according to linguanaut.com. We go, he go, she go, they go and I go is how it would sound to a native English speaker. All verbs in Indonesia are treated this way. Although translation, drills and conversation skills are necessary in learning a foreign language, convenient and frequent grammar study is paramount to success. Without proper knowledge of the grammar, a person will surely make unintentional errors.

Pronunciation problems are one of the biggest hurdles a student faces when learning a new language. Students from different backgrounds are accustomed to their local accents, and learning a new language fluently can seem like a challenge. Student must listen carefully to the tone and way in which native speakers pronounce letters and words. Surrounding yourself with the language by speaking to natives, listening to music and watching movies will help you to hear how things should be pronounced. Never be afraid to ask a native or your teacher to speak slowly or to show you how to say something correctly.

Every country has its customs, so many countries - so many customs. All cultures are different, and so are their respective traditions. These traditions can influence their native language and cause some confusion for non-native speakers. While learning another language, it is important to have a basic understanding of the other culture. This will help you to understand the use of idioms and phrases specific to a language and its culture. Without learning the culture behind the language you're studying, you won't be able to master it with the fluency of a native speaker.

Learning a foreign language is not an easy thing. As W.S. Maugham said you will never learn a foreign language to perfection because perfection is boundless. It is a long and slow process that takes a lot of time and patience. But every educated person, every good specialist has to know English, because it is absolutely necessary nowadays. It is well known that reading books in the original, talking with the English speaking people will help a lot. When learning a foreign language you are to learn the culture and history of the native speakers. You may learn any foreign language.
