MISTAKES




MISTAKES
People worry about speaking a foreign language. They are afraid of making mistakes. They don't want to be embarrassed. That's exactly their huge mistake. If someone really wants to learn another language they must take risks. They must try. And yes! They will fail. This is part of the learning process. There is an expression that says: “No pain, no gain”. This saying is related to doing exercises. For language learning I can add: “No mistakes, no learning.”

I was watching a TED talk with Marianna Pascal. The title of her Ted talk is: Why You Should Speak English Like You’re Playing a Video Game.

She talks about a boy she was observing playing videogame. The boy was terrible as a player. He shot a lot and killed very few. But, he kept on play nonetheless. But the more he plays the more he learns. And, above all, he was having fun anyway. We should have the same approach when learning a new language.

So, be bold, be corageous. Go there and do it, have fun! Just do it!

Here I can see three pictures.  PICTURE NUMBER ONE. This is a woman. She is a student. She has a book. Her book is pink. She is reading the book now. She is listening to music too.   PICTURE NUMBER TWO. He is a man. He is young. He is a student. He has many books. He is studying now.  PICTURE NUMBER THREE. She is a woman. She is young. She is fit. She is at the gym. She goes to the gym every day.

There are many sheeps in this picture. Almost all sheeps here are white. One sheep is different. One sheep is black. The black sheep is among the white sheep.

THE BLACK SHEEP If you have a cousin who seems to be the one troublemaker in your family, you can call her the black sheep. In other words, she doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of your family members.
