when learning a new language many people

are scared of making mistakes and

feeling embarrassed

but mistakes can be your biggest asset

when learning a new language

mistakes are not something to be afraid

of they’re to be learned from

and remembered in this video we’ll look

at how mistakes can help you learn

faster

part one how mistakes help you remember

think back to when you were in grade

school think of a mistake you made in

front of everyone in the class

this is probably easy to remember for

most people you are likely very

embarrassed

when we make mistakes we often

immediately look around to see other

people’s reactions

some people are compassionate other

people not so compassionate

and we tend to notice the negative

reactions a little more

we remember the people who might be

laughing at us or smiling

we remember these embarrassed feelings

sometimes for a very long time

sometimes these experiences affect us

for years

the same thing is true with language

mistakes if you make a language mistake

in public

you’re not likely to forget it it could

be a simple vocabulary word mix-up

or a silly grammar mistake that changes

the entire meaning of what you want to

say

in moments where you make mistakes like

these though you’ll find that most

people won’t be bothered

by your mistake some people might even

help you correct it

but the feeling of embarrassment might

remain use your mistakes as moments to

remember and look back on

use them to make sure you don’t make the

same mistake again

mistakes can happen in a classroom

setting between a teacher and a group of

students

at a public place between a customer and

a business or even between

friends regardless of where the mistake

happens it’s common to feel a bit

embarrassed

the key is to use memories of mistakes

as reminders

of course no one likes feeling

embarrassed think about what you learned

from the experience

and make sure to correct your mistake

for the future

making mistakes and seeing that it is

okay to make mistakes

is essential for continued language

learning it’s normal to fail at first

after that continue to practice and

repeat the correct words

grammar structures and pronunciations

practice and repetition are what will

really help you learn the language in

the end

so accept that you’ll make mistakes and

keep practicing your language skills

soon you’ll be speaking with greater

confidence

language learning

[Music]

conversational skill whether in your

target language or in your native

language

is something that needs to be practiced

trying to score a goal

but actually taking action is a lot

different than reading about it

and you’re probably not going to be able

to do it without practice

someone and say a phrase

but that might not lead to a

conversation

continue conversations
