LEARNING TIPS: GO FOR IT!

"PERDONI LES POSSIBLES FALTES, PERÒ VULL PRACTICAR I PER TANT LI HO EXPLICARÉ EN ANGLÈS"

Good morning,

The above phrase is from the winning testimony written by Andreu R. All of the testimonies were excellent, even the short and simple ones (¡de verdad!). However, we chose this testimony for various reasons. For one thing, although we said you could write in any of the three languages, we thought Andreu's attitude was the perfect one to have if one wants to learn English: go for it (lanzarte / llençar-te) in English.

Others also mentioned the importance of going for it in order to learn:

Suposo que el meu fracàs l'atribueixo a la por a llençar-me.(Anna)

Mi lema era: de los errores se aprende. (Anónimo)

Atribuyo este fracaso a que soy muy perfeccionista y, antes de decir una cosa mal, prefiero no decirla, dejando aparte que también soy bastante vergonzosa. (Marta B.)

Crec que el mes important es, des del primer moment que s'entri a classe es parli la llengua que s'està aprenent. (Clara)

Etc.

I thought this would be a nice point to end these special Daily Vitamins on. No matter how you're learning your English, I encourage you to overcome your self-doubt and go for it! The way to learn how to speak a language is by speaking it.

I hope you have enjoyed the content of this week's Vitamins. One last thing, remember that, thanks to Roger L's suggestion, next week we will be recycling some old Daily Vitamins. Get ready for some review!

Have a great weekend!
