Learning a foreign language.

Most people have the ability to learn a foreign language. They simply need constant encouragement in order to overcome their fears. Conversation seems to be the most difficult aspect for some students, while the others it is comprehension of the spoken word. This feeling is not exclusive to those who feel least confident, as even the most outgoing students are sometimes reluctant to speak. One reason for this reluctance may be shyness. Students may be ashamed of their accent. We could say that the root of this problem might be the student’s desire for perfection, but no one can have perfect pronunciation without practice.
