Challenges in Acquiring English Language

While we were still a child, our parents would feed us with their Mother Language. We would just swallow and digest the 'food' without being concern of the meanings. Children are known as a fast learner compared to adults, making them to hold an advantage to learn a few types of languages in just one shot.

Do you ever wondered why we are not so good in English?
Bizarre, yes?
While we were a baby, we would say cat instead of 'kucing' but still we grow up being the low-rated English speaker(note to self).
What a lame that I still have difficulty in dealing with this international language.

Looking back in this life, I decide to list down my problems..
Here we go!!!

10 Challenges that I face in acquiring English.

1. Lack of curiosity and self-determination.
    People are hardly know what makes mastering English are deadly important. This make them got no points to acquire the language.

2. Cultural norms.
    We live and grow up in a society that produce barricade with English language. Besides, the native speakers are really stuck to their Mother tongue without any considering in the future of their new generations.
 
3. English subject as a last option.

    Other subjects come first instead of language. Norm people thinks that language are something you can attain even without any intensive learning.
 
4. Anxiety about making mistakes.
    Afraid to make mistakes can bring people nowhere. However, this is the reality. Because of their fear, people are fearful to be self-assured.

5. The nature and negative feedback.
    Learners always try to improve their language by speaking with their friends but some of them might tease back and laugh at them. This inappropriate response from people really can cause a destructive by the inner side.

6. No fun in using the language.

    When comes to language, people only think about reading, listening, writing and speaking. It's true but where are the fun in learning then?
Least methods are used to make language more exciting. Thus, people would easily get bored.

7. English is just inside the class.
    Students especially would not use English outside the class or just after the English class ended.  

8. Confidence barrier in public.
    Many people are afraid to speak in front of people and finally ended up unable to bear their fear. Some do not have courage to dare their selves. This people are hard to believe in what they capable of.

9. Less supports and motivations.
    Peers, families and teachers are not giving much attention to the learners making them discourage to speak English.

10. Vocabulary and grammar limitations.
     Learners who are so lazy to even read an article is more hurt in acquiring English language as they may have low vocabularies and grammar mastering.


This is among the biggest challenges for me in mastering English as a second language. The walls I built inside seems to have no ends but I need to put it my self in order to survive in this insidious yet alluring world.

Miracles start to happen when you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to your fears.
