Are you having difficulty in learning English? You say to yourself: "If only I could learn English better, then I can do much more than that."? If you answered yes to these questions, and I'm sure you're wondering how you can do so. In this article, I would like to explain some of the problems faced by me in acquiring English. It can be divided into 4 parts which is
WRITING, READING, SPEAKING and LISTENING
WRITING, READING, SPEAKING and LISTENING
- WRITING
1. Cannot understand on how the English language really works
Writing is the most difficult skill that learners of any foreign language may face. We always having problems in selecting the right grammar to use in making sentences.
2. Influenced to do direct translating from mother language
As we know, many of us always do this in translating into or from English language. We translate the words by words from our mother language and write the meaning in English sentences.
- READING
3. Mispronounced the words
There are differences in English usage in English-speaking countries in terms of spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. We always mispronounce the words because the words are unfamiliar to us.
4. Misunderstanding the meaning and content guess
English language having such an extensive vocabulary and complicated grammar. Students rarely exposed to the slang words used by English speakers in every day conversation. Sentences can be predominantly filled with slang words, so maintaining a real sound of words can be difficult for anyone who doesn't understand what they mean.
5. Not said in right intonation
The variations in the different forms of English can often be difficult to understand. For example, the difference between using formal and informal language or the differences between spoken and written language.
- SPEAKING
6. Students speak more of their native language than English
The lower the students’ level or ages, the more probable it is that they will speak their native language most of the time. Some will even chat in pairs or small groups, completely oblivious to what is going on in class.
7. Lack of vocabulary
Vocabulary is one of the most comprehensive and difficult aspects of English for learners to master thoroughly. We didn't have nothing to say if we didn't wide of vocabulary.
- LISTENING
8. Cannot keep up with the speed of speaker
People who is expert in English will speak fluently in high speed. It is common for spoken English to be delivered slowly and exceptionally clearly. For a beginner, it will become problems to them in catching up the words spoken by the speaker and translating it at the same time.
9. Do not understand what they had listen to
This will occur when we didn't have wide vocabulary. They will find hard to understand what they had listen to.
10. Do not hear too much in English
Prefer to listen in mother language other than English. for example, they listen to only Malay songs, watching Malay dramas and so on.
