Important factor of language learing

There are many factors can effect people to learn a second or third language successfully such as age, motivation, personality and so on. In my point of view, I still believe that a person's personality is the most important factor of language learning although sometimes other factors will influent to it.

Many friends of mine are able to speak other languages whether it is foreign language or in their own language but different regions of the contury. Some of them are not good at academic but do very good jobs at language learning. Some of them learnt well just because their interests. As I've learnt a little bit German when I was in China. The reason why I went to learn German is just because my visit to Germany for 2 weeks and fell in love with this nice country. When I was back to Shanghai, I learned German very quickly. To be honest, I do not like French very much, as I was trying to learn French here for five days in conversation class. I found some of spelling or grammar are similar to German so that it is easier for me to understand and learn French than other people in class. Although I still thought it was difficult to learn French because the teacher taught in French but we have no any of the knowledge in it.

As I said, languages link to each other but the most important is to practice practice and practice. The more you do, the more you will get! A person who has good personality might be practice more than others. They can be open enough to talk in public before people so that their fluency of speaking, skills of listening, grammar and pronunciation will be much better than those who are not willing to practice as much as they can. People who have great confidence are not afraid of making mistakes, sometimes others are much more willing to help them in great progress.

Learning a second or third language with nice personality maybe one of the most important factors to most people. Hope you will have a wonderful learning journey during this session.(:
