Л Language Teacher's Personal Opinion

Every day 1 see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses sayingthatitiseasytolearn English. According to these advertisements, with very little effort on the student's part, he/she will be able to speak the language fluently in three months or even ten days. When 1 see ad­vertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. If it were as easy to learn English as they say I would have to look for another job because very few qualified teachers would be needed. But a large num­ber of people must believe these claims'. If people didn't believe il, such advertisements would not appear.

It is natural for students to he attracted - to methods that will teach them as quickly, efficiently and cheaply as possible. But it is no use pretending¹ that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching En­glish in every possible situation.

For a long time people believed that the only way to learn a lan­guage was by spending a great deal of time in a country where it was spoken. Of course it is clear that the students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but a large number of students cannot afford to do so. Some students go to the opposite ex­treme and think they can teach themselves at home by learning words in dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has an equivalent in another language and that any translation method can produce good pronunciation and intonation.

In my personal opinion no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in learning it. There is an­other relevant point worth mentioning here. One should remember that language learning is an active thing that needs effort and time. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. So students.of English should forget about being shy, nervous, afraid of saying something incorrect or silly and should start learning by talking. It's far better to make a few mistakes than to say nothing. If you make the effort to speak you'll find that little by little you'll get more confidence and enjoy speaking,
