Today I was listening to a great podcast about language learning. The podcast was in the form of a dialogue between English teachers and students. There were a lot of interesting questions. After listening I feel that everyone who learns a foreign language has the same problems. I can identify with the guests of the podcast, we are perpetually struggling with the same problems.
A very interesting point of the podcast was the question about goals in language learning. Do we need a goal and what kind of goal?
It's so obvious that the main goal is to speak fluently or become a fluent speaker, but I think that's not enough. I try to set small daily goals for myself. For example, my daily goal in learning German is to write at least 10 sentences and use the words I have learned. Maybe in time this will become my habit and I will have to look for a new daily goal, but for now it is a big challenge. But I am always very happy when I can say before going to bed that I have achieved my daily goal.
Title: Language Learning Problems
In English, almost all words are capitalized in titles: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/capitalization-in-the-titles/
Linda, Thanks for the advice:)
@Zosia As a native speaker of English, I slightly disagree with BvHvSu26 correction of "we are perpetually struggling with the same problems." He's correct in that 'we all are' is more like what a native speaker would say, but 'perpetually' is very idiomatic. I'd say it like you have, "perpetually struggling" but then I use a slightly higher and larger vocabulary than many native speakers. :-) Just wanted to give you a 2nd opinion.
@MaritimeClock Thank you for your feedback. It is good to have several views on the same issue. "Perpetually struggling" is exactly the phrase I heard in the podcast, so I decided to use it here. :)
