Many people live with a dream to learn a foreign language but don’t really do anything to achieve it because they’re sure they can’t. Can they? Here’re some distractive beliefs that can keep people from learning languages:

“It’s hard”. Yes, many people don’t start because they’ve already decided it’s not doable for them. But why not give it a shot?

“You need to have a talent/good memory”. You don’t need anything special to learn a language. You already have everything you need. I believe that learning languages is not about having a perfect memory or being born with a talent. It’s about using what you’ve got. How? I actually have a book about it, it’s called “My key to nailing any language”. If you have desire to check it out – link is at the end of the article.

“You need to visit a certain country”. You don’t have to go to other country in order to practice a language. In fact, I know people who went abroad and came back with no result. Surely, new environment pushes you to adopt, but if you’re stubborn enough you might not J Anyway, don’t see it as an ultimate option for learning a language. It’s not for everyone. If you prefer to learn a language without leaving your comfort zone – feel free to do so. I assure you, if you do everything right, you have a big chance at succeeding.

“You can’t learn a language just by yourself”. When I entered my university I had never learned German before. And I really wanted to see if it’s possible to learn a language only at uni. Turned out, it’s not. See, it doesn’t matter how great, smart, amazing your teachers are, no one can learn a language for you. Going to class and hoping that’s it – not really a right thing to do. YOU – that’s what it takes to learn a language. Other people can only help. But YOU are enough.

“I will never be able to remember/learn/understand this”. It’s ok to have such thoughts till you know that it’s not true. It’s not about ability; it’s about time and desire. When I started watching movies in English I thought that there’s no way I can understand their speech. When I first saw the list of German irregular verbs I thought the same thing. However, I didn’t give up and eventually succeeded. Sooner or later you’ll nail everything! Just give it some time. And dedication!
