Attitude-du-Jour:
Probably one of the most frustrating factors
to the "foreign language teacher" is a lack of
concentration on the part of the "foreign language
learner."
So frequently a student has developed a
mentality of "I kain't lurn thet."
Go figure !!!
If your body had been born in a different
country - just as a hypothetical here - that very same tongue
you have flapping in your mouth spouting forth "English"
would be speaking another language just as easily and as
natively - melodiously !!!
Oh, ... you wouldn't "think"
about the same things.
And you'd probably be doing a LOT of things
differently:
... like putting the stress in words in
different places,
... or rolling your R's without any effort,
... or conjugating verbs into indicative/subjunctive
to express YOURSELF,
... etc.
In other words, don't give in to thinking
it's too much effort!
Really spend time initially WORKING at
getting the sounds down.
With diligence, it'll happen for you !!!
Give yourself time, --- and leave frustrations
to "the teacher." |
