learning a new language learning a new language is not a piece of cake , but it is also not a rocket science. some people think that learning a new language is a very difficult matter that needs may be five or six years to speak it fluently. others may think that it is impossible to learn any language after the age of 14 , but i do not think so . in my opinion there are a lot of factors which controls a person's motivation of learning a new language. firstly, his need to this language . a person who has a plan to travel to work in another country will find himself forced to learn the language of the country in which he will work, but for this who study a language just to communicate or interact with other people from different countries in order to have fun , it will not be the same. secondly, the first impression about the target language .if the learner feels that the language he studies is an easy language to study he will be able to complete learning untill being a fluent speaker . this depends mainly on your first teacher , the approaches and methods that you will use, but in contrast, if you feel that it is a tough or difficult language to learn , you may stop at a specific point or it may make you stronger that you may accept the challenge
