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
it’s like with a martial art or a sport

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
without practice it’s difficult to
continue conversations
