When students approach Brown And White Idiomas to enroll in classes, their primary goal often revolves around enhancing their confidence and fluency in the language they’ve been studying for years. However, despite their dedication, many find themselves apprehensive when faced with real-world scenarios like conference calls, meetings or dining with foreign colleagues. In response, I emphasize the timeless wisdom: practice makes perfect. It’s a mantra that holds true across languages and cultures.
The fear of making mistakes shouldn’t deter them. Most people understand the challenges of speaking a second language and are empathetic. Thus, I encourage my students to seize every opportunity to practice speaking. Every interaction, no matter how small, contributes to their growth. Embracing this mindset allows them to gradually shed inhibitions and gain confidence.
Moreover, I stress the importance of actively incorporating newly acquired language elements from the classroom into their conversations. It’s through consistent usage that words, expressions, and grammar points become second nature. Each instance of using a new word or structure strengthens their linguistic foundation and boosts confidence.
In essence, the key to mastery lies in persistent practice. By embracing opportunities to speak and integrating new learnings into their daily interactions, students pave the way towards fluency and confidence in the language.
