Today I'll share my opinion of language learning with you. I believe you could have similar experiences like mine. I believe language learning is insane. Just think about that you are capable of expressing yourself in your mother tongue. We did almost nothing to it, just listening and giving it a meaning and repeating if we want to express waht we want. In school we get taught to learn a "foreign" language, in my case English, by learning the words off by heart based on your mother tongue. The problem is that if we need to express ourselves in that "foreign" language our brain needs to translate the words we want to say from the mother tongue to the final language. That's slow and it's not fun. The conclusion is that we think we are bad at language learning, but that's definitely wrong. We are brilliant at language learning. The method is the issue. Languages are tools to express opinions and needs. Another language may sound different but can express the same meaning. A language (french for tongue) should never be foreign because it is going to be a part of you. In my mind we can only learn a language by listening, associating it with a thing or an action, repeating, getting corrected and writing if we need to. It is hard but possible to get away from translating from and to the language we are familiar with. With this text this is one step for me to do that. I hope you got something for you and maybe have similar experiences as well.

Today, I'll share my opinion on language learning with you. I believe you might have had similar experiences to mine. I think that language learning can be a daunting task. Just consider the fact that we effortlessly use our mother tongue to express ourselves, without any conscious effort. In contrast, when we learn a "foreign" language, such as English in my case, we are usually taught to memorize words in relation to our mother tongue. This results in our brain translating the words we want to say from our mother tongue to the target language, making the process slow and frustrating. However, this does not mean we are incapable of learning a new language; the problem lies in the method we use. Languages are a means to communicate our ideas and needs. Even though different languages may sound different, they can convey the same meaning. Therefore, a language should never be seen as "foreign" because it has the potential to become a part of our identity. In my opinion, the best way to learn a language is by listening, associating words with objects or actions, repeating, getting corrected, and writing if necessary. This may be a challenging process, but it's possible to move away from translating from and to our mother tongue. Writing this text is one of the steps I'm taking towards achieving this goal. I hope you found this text helpful and that you can relate to some of the experiences I've shared.
