What should I do if I don't have the language skills?

Lately, I've been consulting quite a lot with people who have various difficulties learning languages. And I saw one interesting thing, most people (about 50%) have one very bad belief that prevents them from learning languages.


It sounds like a belief - I have no aptitude for languages. Perhaps it resonates with you, and you're also thinking about yourself, or you've been thinking before. For example, I thought so about 3 years ago, but over the past two years I have managed to master more than 8 languages. And I believe that anyone can do this, and now I'll tell you why. What if I told you that you are capable of languages? What if you can master three languages, five, ten? What if you can do it?


And you know what? You can. It is inherent in you, in me, in every person. If a person speaks at least one language, he is already able to speak any other and even several. Yes, I won't claim that you can speak 50 languages. Perhaps this requires genes or being associated with languages since childhood. Maybe. I haven't checked it myself. But I can say with confidence that anyone can speak five or even ten languages if they want to.


Language is an instinct. A person has been endowed with speech since birth. And he is able to speak. Where do the legs of this belief that "I have no aptitude for languages" come from?


It all starts from childhood. When we got to our first foreign language lessons.


What have we been taught?


Right. The alphabet, the rules of reading, the rules of spelling, then the abstruse grammar rules. These are the things that do not bring much pleasure to most, and even on the contrary frighten and repel the language.


Usually, language learning at school is structured in such a way that most cannot master it. When a person has been learning a language for so many years and realizes that they can't even form a simple phrase, they begin to wonder if something is wrong. And then the university. Things are not going well there either. And if a person at the university did not speak the language (as happens in most cases), then he may completely despair and think that it's probably him.


That's how people used to think. If something doesn't work out for him several times, then most likely the problem lies with him. But this is not always the case. At least with language learning for sure.


If you couldn't master the language before, then the problem is not with you, but with what you learned in the language (which words and grammatical structures), how you learned it, who taught you and Where.


If you are learning a language on your own, then only the first two factors will affect the result. WHAT and HOW. If it's with a teacher, then all four factors. it is important.


Right now, it's important for you to understand that you're capable of languages. And if you couldn't learn a language before or can't now, then the problem is not with you, but with the language learning approach itself.
