Why People Fail to Get Fluent in English

  9 Reasons Why People Fail to Get Fluent in English Excuses & Attitudes (to Avoid) 1. “I’m Not Good With Languages” It’s true that some people are better at learning languages than others, but you have to accept that some people, with or without a gift, just want it more. In this sense, the greatest gift you can have for learning is TO REALLY WANT IT. Unless you have some real serious learning deficiencies, you are fully able to learn English. It might take more dedication and patience, better strategies, study habits and awareness of your learning style, but to say that what is holding you back is because you aren´t good at languages is not a good excuse. The grand majority of people who have learned English as a second language don’t have a gift. They’ve learned through persistent hard work, avoiding excuses, and overcoming obstacles that everybody faces. 2. “I’m Too Embarrassed to Speak” If you don’t use it, you lose it. All the embarressment or laziness that...

  Top 04 Motivational Stories For Students To Work Hard 1. The Elephant Rope   A man was walking nearby to a group of elephants that was halted by a small rope tied to their front leg. He was amazed by the fact that the huge elephants are not even making an attempt to break the rope and set themselves free. He saw an elephant trainer standing beside them and he expressed his puzzled state of mind. The trainer said “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.” Moral:  It is the false belief of the elephants that denied their freedom for life time. Likewise, many people are not trying to work towards success in their life just because they failed once before. So keep on trying and don’t get tied up with some false beliefs of failure. 2.
