I think that student who really wants to learn a foreign language must study all the time with a teachers and without him. All the time it needs to repear words, translate a unkown article etc. It is more important because it is a very long competetive period on your life.

Hi Ningning, I heard from somewhere that you can train yourself to think in English, in that way, you are able to respond to English quicker. I guess this will also help you to be in an English environment. It takes a lot of effort though. I've tried for a few times but end up giving up. My native language loves to jump into my head and think for me. Hehe maybe I should try again.

Hi Ningning,

Children have it easy. Research shows that bilingual children separate their language from the age of two, and current research even suggests they may separate them from the beginning.

I think the adult brain isn't quite so flexible, but as long as there is a perceived need to learn a language, we can overcome this. Just convince your brain that it's really important to learn English and it will respond. #

PS - Put yourself in the environment...

Hi lynne,
In my opinion, language is born in the environment. Everyone know that whatever your parents are which country, speak which language, you speak which of the place you are stay in when you are a child. And I know a report: a child who was bring up by the wolves. He can't speak, can't walk, howling like wolves...... Language is acquired behavior.
What makes a good student? Make yourself in the language environment...

Hi CuteSnoowee,

What are you doing to overcome your problems?

Hi Alferas,

Not a political issue, it's just human nature. As soon as anyone takes on the role of "teacher" they become a figure of authority, and figures of authority are often feared, so learning = fear. It's a shame really.

Hi Alferas,

I agree.

Don't just hope.

You have to become an active learner. Unfortunately it's something that school doesn't prepare us for, but I think it is actually the way we naturally learn things.

Practice, experiment, and practice. A student who is learning English should experiment with the language as much as possible. Do not be afraid to speak it even if it is not perfect!

Stop! I've corrected them!

But if you do spot any more, let me know.

Hello Lynne, I am not going to let my confidence down for a few mistakes.

I`m sorry, I haven`t noticed that there were some mistakes but I will look at it right now.

Bye. Have a nice day. I hope your freezer does work as it should.

Don't let making mistakes knock your confidence. As you may have noticed in today's reading there were 3 mistakes, and it was written by a native speaker whose job it is to write.

Hi Lynne,

It depends on what matter you mean?

a) my daily life - mostly confident
b) in writing English - Whilst I write I feel secure to meet the right grammar but after retourning I know my feelings are not always so right.

Hi Hermine,

A question. Are you usually very confident?

Re: What makes a good student?

feeds@yuku.com (hermine) — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:52:22 GMT

Hi guys,

Believe it or not:

The better your self-worth/self -confident the better your English.

At the moment I have to work on both.

Now, we are living in computer world. Mostly, we are to open our PC everyday. My opinion, We can setting the homepage to be an English. Whenever the homepage has by bilingual the expression. We can try to read english. If we don't understand. We can choose our own language.

I am also looking for my way to study for English.

Hi Lynne Hand,

I have already done. Thank You.

What do you think a student should do to help themselves learn English.
