Hello. My name is Duncan Brown and I am an English Facilitator, here are some of my thoughts about learning the English language.
It's easy as A,B,C
For most of my life, I took my language for granted, and why wouldn’t I? It was all around me like air, breathing it in and out for my benefit and sometimes detriment. The sounds, structure, meaning, and purpose of speech are something you only think about when learning it.
Think about how you learned, or even how you taught a baby, your native language; how did you do it?
Natural talent?
I can’t recall any English lessons before going to school, but I started to learn my native language and communicated in it like most 0 – 4-year-olds.
My first problem was I couldn’t speak, I could make sounds at different volumes but that was about it. I mimicked whoever was talking at me, practising the correct sound to make a phoneme leading to words!
My vocabulary improved through observation and drilling; at first one word, “Mama” then two, “Look! Dog!”, slowly building through repetition, association, and interaction.
Grammar was also a slow process of copying; “a banana”, “an apple”, and “the dog” were learned and how to use them.
Eventually, I needed to locate these things either in space or time, quite a concept for a 3-year-old: “There!”, “Here!”, “On the table!”, “Under the chair!” I exclaimed everything when I was very young.
The luxury of childhood
What do young children have to help them learn their mother tongue? Time, teachers, materials, motivation, dedication, and curiosity. These six things will help you learn anything.
Time goes hand-in-hand with dedication, by managing your time you can dedicate yourself to daily learning and practice. Children learn every day whether they want to or not, you can too.
Materials and teachers should be interesting and challenging for you. Consider what you want to learn and, find a teacher that suits you and your needs.
A child’s motivation is getting what it wants, and praise. By taking classes, you gain a skill you want and acknowledgement of your good work from your teacher and peers.
Most of all curiosity, it leads you deeper into what you are learning and changes hard work into interesting learning.
Child's play
Looking at things as a child does will help your studies; they are always learning and so can you.
