More than learning a language is learning how to communicate. Learning a language, this incredible bumpy journey that pushes us further and makes hate ourselves for no apparent reason, that reason why spend long hours racking our brains to see things in a different way we used to, that thing we think as a panacea for our eager of knowledge, probably is not the most important thing if we pretend to be understood by others; it's just a tiny part of that mega universe called communication. Learning a language also implies the body language and the non-verbal interaction, which may vary from culture to culture and dramatically affects the performance while communicating, even more than grammar and pronunciation rules. A perfect accent will easily be shattered by a poor body language, but a horrible speaking can be saved by a proper body language. This one shows the most key ability in learning any kind of ability: confidence. Lack of confidence causes fear, fear causes lack of action, killing all progress, consistency and similar, and finally driving to premature death...OK, not that exaggerated, but is a decisive factor when trying transmitting an idea in another way. Finally, learning a language goes beyond following a bunch of words and rules, it includes other related aspects as culture and body language, that must be treated in the same heavy way as the time with textbooks. Remember, someday you'll speak awfully despite all the time and effort invested in this activity, it's completely normal; stop thinking everyone will judge you by the way you use a language (unless being in youtube, forums and whatever related to) and keep making mistakes until learning how to fall properly and stand up again; this the only way to master an ability. And last but not least, forget perfection, it's more harmful than we can expect, the worst thing a person can do is not doing anything at all and seeing how is being eaten alive by fears, no one dreams that; there is no person with those goals in life, but many people fall in the trap, so when trying to desist or not being in the mood, well, those days define the future of this mission called communication. Bye.
