Challenges Faced While Learning Language

Learning any foreign language is a skill that develops over time and which cannot be done over night. One should pay complete attentions and focus when trying to learn any new language. Though it being a challenging task the outcomes and benefits associated are huge. Following are few major challenges people face while learning any new language. The ability to pick up any  new language is at it speak at present and the best way to start is to being exposed to new languages from birth.
  • The major problem many people face is the lack of focus or interest which is the thing to be developed. One should work on it and make the process of learning enjoyable and fun.
  • Motivation is the primary thing which leads to success for learning any skill and one should either get self motivated or by a trainer who plays a key role.
Pronunciation
  • Unfamiliar accents and sounds make things complicated. Even in similar languages like English ans Spanish few common letters carry different sounds.
  • Languages usually gets more complicated when certain letters are grouped together which usually changes the sound of single letters.
  • Practice by copying native speakers and learn certain rules which make the only solution.
Difficult reading material
  • The reading materials people choose belonging to second language learners can be a problem.
  • The materials are complicated unnecessarily with sentences and words which are above students level.
  • The right reading materials have to be chosen which should contain short sentences for beginners, longer sentences for higher level learners.
Regular practice
  • To be good at things one should practice effectively. Even native speakers goes through hard time and even he couldn't read well with lack of practice.
  • Reading out loud makes sense with a native speaker and is a good way to practice where the mistakes can be corrected and model up proper fluency, pronunciation and intonation.
Intonation and fluency
  • Second language learners often face difficulty in regulation of fluency and intonation as they read loud.
  • The reader sounds lifeless and robotic while knowing how to pronounce but lacks to read them in a particular tone.
  • Second language learners concentrate more on pronouncing one word at a time and will not be able to see broadly hence failing to reproduce in putting the words together and in grouping them correctly.
The above are some of the major challenges a language learners faces. Trying to overcome with strong motivation and intention helps not only in learning a language but also for achieving things by being strong and determined.
