“If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.” - Ludwig Wittgenstein
This past week, we asked our Facebook fans what they felt was the hardest part about learning a new language. We’ve talked about the reasons we think everyone should tackle this feat, but our Facebook friends helped us look at some of the challenges as well.
Here are some of the responses we received from you… (See them all here)
Pancho D.
a new writing system and tones.
Aurora W.
Pronunciation.
Sunny A.
not finding someone to speak with :/
Ananda G.
getting started
Cecilia Q.
And trying not to get frustrated
Jennifer D.
Being brave enough to use it in real life.
Karen T.
Just keeping at it.
We saw quite a few responses that ‘pronunciation’ is the biggest challenge for a lot of you. Here’s a tip to help: Listen to music in the language you’re learning. Soon, you’ll be singing along just like the pros…and using the perfect pronunciation!
And don’t forget to use our very knowledgeable e-Tutors to help sharpen your conversation skills, get tips and techniques and more!
But don’t worry – our Facebook fans also let us know how great it has been learning a new language, despite these trials. Some of your answers are below and the rest are here.
