Hi, I'm Kim. Today I want to write my first post about the challenge. I have a genius friend who told me from the beginning that the keyword in the next round is challenge. challenge:/ˈtʃalɪn(d)ʒ/:1-invite a person to engage in a contest.2-a call to prove or justify something. We have many challenges like life challenges, sports challenges, curriculum challenges, health challenges, and language challenges. Language Challenges: here are five main problems that generally present themselves when trying to learn a language. 1. Fear: The scariest part is usually thinking about what might happen rather than dealing with what is happening. Practice often, practice hard and learn to laugh at yourself in the process. 2. Lack of Opportunity: Can’t afford to invest in classes? That’s a problem. No one in your area to practice with? That’s a bummer. But don’t let your lack of opportunity prevent you from discovering the joy (and usefulness) of speaking multiple tongues. After all, any halfway switched-on person knows that you make your opportunities in life. 3. Being Set in Your Ways: You can’t translate languages word for word until you accept that fact and stop asking your poor teacher “but why?” every time they explain something; you’ll keep crashing into your brick wall. Being set in your ways is a huge stumbling block to learning a language and refusing to accept fundamental differences will cause a mental block. 4. Lack of Time: OK, so this is a pretty real excuse and a hard one to do much about. It sure can be hard to find the time to learn a language. Taking a trip to or living in the country in question isn’t even a vague possibility if you can’t find a couple of hours a week to practice your conjugations or listen to a podcast. 5. The Inner Voice: This is the voice inside that stops empires from being created or languages being learned. that little demon says “you can’t do it”. How to deal with your negative inner voice? Try kicking it to the curb.
