Every little mistake is an opportunity for growth, so the more mistakes made, the more learning that occurs! So, just go for it and let a tutor help you along the way!

Remember that progress is the priority, not perfection!

Tip: Practice actively listening to speakers of the new language you are learning. Listen closely for sounds that do not occur in your native language. If you can hear the difference in sounds, it will help you to say them.

Taking action can be the trigger for maintaining motivation. Give yourself credit for every step you complete and every success no matter how small, and this will fuel your desire to keep going.

A simple way to start building vocabulary is to label the space and things around you. Write the English word on a sticky note and stick it on the object (book, tv, door, chair, etc.). And don't forget the action words that you can pair with them (book-read, tv-watch, door-open, chair-sit, etc.).

It's such a gift to know how to speak more than one language. It opens up new worlds to you. Congratulations and best wishes in your language learning journey!
