     4. Trying to be perfect - When have you ever done something hard for the first time, and done it to perfection? When it comes time to speak Spanish, students should be advised to relax and realize that mistakes are part of the process. We all need to learn to laugh at ourselves, and cut others some slack in this area. If there is too much pressure for spoken Spanish to come out perfectly, students will clam up, stammer, and experience more frustration than real learning. 5. Relying on schools/classes/teachers - I've known many people who cruise through language classes with good grades who don't retain a word of what they supposedly learned. Language learning is ultimately the responsibility of the student. This happens in part when you discover your strongest learning style, and make the extra effort to internalize the information. Inspiration plays a role here too. Spanish is not just an academic subject; it is a living language, spoken by millions in over 20 nations. There is history, art, culture, food, literature, etc to inspire you and make the language more real and relevant. Unless a student is inspired to take personal ownership of the learning process, Spanish is just another academic exercise. |
