Hello!

     It is possible that you are here looking for this blog, because you are having troubles in your English learning process. Don´t worry, nobody said that it would be easy and if somebody did it it is because there are different lenarning processes.

Monotonous and uninteractive classes

     Having boring classes is one of the factors that can most affect the performance of a student to learn, regardless of the subject that is. Many people of all ages, put resistance to learn English, the clue is in finding strategies that can attract their attention and interest. 

One aspect that could help is to try to focus on the interests, tastes and experiences of the students, this with the aim of doing classes with various activities that will make students take more ownership of their space.

Definitely get to sit and listen to a class is not fun, if you are a student and do not feel comfortable, do not wait to let your teacher know, please think about what you would like to do to change the dynamics and propose it to your class. Take the initiative.

Shyness

     Shyness is presented as a great barrier in learning English, I say this through my own experience. When I was starting to learn English in college, I felt terror of being wrong, I felt that if I spoke and went wrong, everyone would make fun of me. It took a long time for me to have confidence in myself and I had to fall to get up and say, yes I can!

Your process should not keep pace with the process of others, take your time and reflect on what you do. A good activity can be that you make a picture and identify your strengths and weaknesses, in this way you can see how with what you have you can build a better learning.

Your strengths are more and they will help you to trust in you, trust in what you are and little by little you will improve, you will see how in a while you will see the past and you will be proud of yourself.

It is normal to be shy and feel afraid to make mistakes, but to make mistakes is human beings.

Lack of constancy

     Students must understand that you do not learn from one day to the next and that without practice you do not advance. The key is not to study more, but to be more constant. To have in some way a routine of study and practice in which to be able to keep up to date what has been learned and to keep the mind fresh from the learning that is being acquired. Setting a schedule, objectives and plans are a key to incorporate the practice of a new language, and constant improvement.

Lack of motivation

     As we discussed earlier, there are several factors that make students not want to learn English, the lack of motivation has much to do with the type of classes that take place. The boring classes make students cling to the idea that learning English is boring and not worth it, so they will not try to learn at all.
