Learning English

By Randy White


Learning English may be a hard task if you do not have the right framework and a good guidance. It is easy to acquire a new language if you a child. Children have this amazing ability to absorb whatever they here and produce sentences without understanding one signal syntactic law rule. They do not have to understand the special grammar of the language they just abide to the inherent rules and speak without a problem.

When an adult is trying to learn a new language, s/he already has fixed structures of a certain language. Those structures after many years of use are not so very flexible and thus are fixed. So when learning anew language that behaves differently from our mother tongue, it is hard for our brain to adjust to new structures and rules, thus forcing the structures of our native language on the new language.

Although it may be a hard task to learn a new language if you are an adult, it is not entirely impossible. If you have the right motivation and the right setting, it is more than feasible. Gradually you will see that it becomes easier with time. The beginning is the hardest thins as you train your brain to think differently from what it used to.but with time you will acquire the ability to distinguish between the new language patterns and the native one.

English, unlike other languages is universal and thus we are exposed to it whether we like it or not. So learning English although can be tough is not as hard as learning any other language. English is present in our lives and is just about anywhere: it dominates the web, the media, the business world so you can escape the language which is quite an advantage.

The fact that this language is very present strengths the fact that it is extremely important to learn it and to control the language and communicate via this language.
