The level of learning English is varied depending on the difficulty level of each learner. One learner may say that English is just a piece of cake, but for some, it is the most struggling encounter ever made. Regardless of the fact that English language is too easy or too difficult to learn, the issue is not really the language in itself—but the learners.
Let me give you this scenario: there’s this two kinds of learners who actually decided to study English abroad. One is a native English speaker from the wilderness of Texas who chose to learn British in the areas of England, while the second is a pure Vietnamese native who also decided in learning English in England. Both have the resources and even the intellectual to acquire English effectively. I’m not generalizing everyone here, but neither could be the best learner until one of them is consistent with their learning.
Let’s just say the one from U.S. is too familiar with English already that he views the learning to be very easy—too easy to the extent that he overviewed the basics, the correct pronunciation of words, proper usage of grammar, and other resources of vocabulary. “This is my native language already, why should I be mastering it on the first place when I am already knowledgeable with it?” for a person who thinks of English like this, he will only deprive himself from learning and improving English the more.
But for the second person we’ve mentioned, regardless of his limited capacity and greater time for adjustments, he still chooses to learn English and improve it—one simple lesson at a time. It may take time to master it—a couple of months, or even years may require—but he chose to push beyond his limits. In other words, he was consistent.
So which among these two learners become successful in learning and mastering English effectively? You know the answer already.
So it doesn’t really matter how skillful you are that you absorb English easily. Yes, skill is a factor, but oftentimes attitude is the key to keep the learning going. Like the title said, consistency is the right attitude to learn and master English. Mind you, it will take you far, as it will take you to your inspired dreams.
Think about it.
