why do we fail to learn English?
First of all
I like to start by discussing the well-known phrase for all English learning beginners
“I failed to learn English”. When someone says that, it means that they have
tried a lot and all their attempts went with air. I’m talking here specifically
about Arab who want to learn English. According to personal observations, I’m
going to explain why many Arabic countries can’t speak English fluently and
even they can’t learn it.
Reasons cause
failure in learning English:
First reason
One attempt judges the all experience
The first
reason that causes failure in general perspective is building the whole
experience fate around one attempt. Let me explain more. Let’s assume that you
want to start your own business, most of you are going to make a specific
capital for the business, let’s say it is 4000$. And you will wait to see if it
success or fail. If it fails, you will make a judgment that the business is
just a waste of money. Not just that, but also you will recommend others to not
get into that business. But let me tell you something, have you thought why
your business failed? Or what are the reasons behind it? What were the weakness
points? What were the strength points? How can you develop weaknesses? How can
you develop your business strength points? I know most of you now thinking what
has this to do with learning English? The overall idea is very similar despite the different subjects. When you have undergone a failure in learning English,
you will judge yourself that you will never be able to learn English. Let me
ensure you that you were reckless in making that judgment. Have you realized your
failing reasons? Have you recognized your weaknesses and strengths? And worked
hard to develop each of them? Yeah, you must ask yourself these questions and
many similar because they are the main points that give you the ability to
judge in the right way.
The second
reason
The negligence of pen and paper
There is a
great neglect of the magical effect of pen and paper usage. The fact that is applicable
to most of us. We can’t bear it to hold the pen and write something on the
paper. This happens for different reasons such as having smartphones or even
shyness of others if they read what was written. Lots of people do not know
that writing is a secret of development in its general concept for any walk of
life. Mostly, no one of us have ever written their objective on a notebook, their
notes, and their progress. Also, most of us do not know that this notebook
will be a source of motivation by itself.
The third
reason
Shyness
This reason
plays a big role in failing and depression. A lot of us is embarrassed of being
a beginner. Let me remind you there is no one who was born expert. Sometimes being
with an expert makes us feel small and maybe unconfident, but we should do it
the other way. We should make the best benefits of that expert by asking
questions and making discussions.
The forth
reason
Wasting time
Most of us
spends much time on social media, hanging out with friends... etc. it is good
activities, but did not you see that there is some wasted time here and there? Most
of you are going to say yes. Let me be honest with you. If you did not make
some time every day to work on your goal, how are you going to reach it?
The fifth
reason
Learning style
Unfortunately,
the only learning style that we know is the academic style. Long story short, a
question and its answer. What most of us do not know is that learning a
language is extremely different from that. The reason why is that when we say a
language we say a language, not math. It is so far from a question and its
answer. It is about reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It is about
ideologies and cultures. So, we must recognize the English language the same
way we recognize our native language.
The sixth
reason
The society that surrounds you
We must
involve ourselves with colleges, but how? We all spend a lot of time using
social media, sure as we mentioned previously, it is a waste of time. But also
we can get some benefit of that waste. By social media we can surround
ourselves or get involved with people who share us the same interests. This environment
will help us a lot by making it easier getting information from colleges and
masters.
The seventh
reason
The negligence of the four skills
These four
skills that we all have learned in the very beginning of learning English,
which are: reading, writing, listening, speaking. Have you noticed something? Whenever
someone mentions these skills, they mention it in the same previous order, why?
Because the four skills are divided into two sections: inputs and
outputs. Inputs include reading and listening. Outputs include writing and
speaking. So, in order to do well in outputs, you must to get more and more of
inputs. Logically speaking, there is no outcome without income.
