LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE

LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE

Do you think that learning a new language is difficult? Everyone can have problems with it. because it is not easy to understand quickly if you are a new learner.We have to work hard to learn it. I strongly believe that learning vocabulary and pronunciation are the most difficult aspects of learning a new language.
Firstly,most of the time we compare our language with the second one.We always try to think in our first language. Sometimes we use prefixes which come at the beginning of the word, and sometimes suffixes at the end. It is hard to learn,because we are not used to that situation.Once,I had an experience when I was ten.I was trying to talk with an American girl but I was not able to speak English correctly and I was trying to translate what I thought in Turkish literally. It was so hard for me and I made lots of mistakes.
Moreover, learning vocabulary is the hardest aspect of learning a new language.There are thousands of new words if we are starting learning from scratch. Some of the words can be similar to each other so we can mix them up.We should practice all the time so as not to forget them. 2 years ago, I was in an English exam and I mixed up words so I could not get full marks in the exam.
In addition to this, pronunciation is an important factor .To be effective, we should imitate very closely the real pronunciation which language we are learning new.It is hard to learn a French accent for Turkish people for example. Also all nations speak English in a different accent because of tongue movement.For instance I can never understand the Italians when they speak English.
All in all,learning a new language is very hard for everyone in many ways. We should work hard to undersand,talk and write in the second language you are learning.All languages are different from each other.Our new language and ourfirst language can be very different, and speaking can be hard and learning new vocabulary is very difficult so generally learning a new language is not easy.
