the learning language by your self
Helo everybody. I will be glad to read your advices and please correct my mistakes. I have several questions about learning language as about the process. I'm aware the help of tutors and teachers is useful but I'm sure that among you there are many people who is studying independently. How do you set your goals and what motivates you to carry on? how do you measure your achieving the goals? I'll try to define it. For example, If you are going to improve your listening skills, in the begining you fall over yourself to listen and you are keen on idea to use every facilities for listening in English means the radio during the driving a car, the films during your mealtime but in some time (one months) you can not recognise your results. Because of that the motivation decreases and stress grows up and listen skills stops to be improved) so how not to give up to train the skills and be satisfied of results? that imply could you give me examples how make goals more exactly and how to make them more concrete? thank you so much in advance!
