Learning a second language is never easy. Learning English as a second language is even more difficult, and here's why.
First of all, learning English is difficult because of the limited learning environment. In most cases, students can speak sufficient English in class only under supervision. In addition, students do not always hear enough English from those around them. Therefore, learning correct English becomes more difficult. Learning materials refer to elements that contribute to the learning process. Books may be necessary materials, but books alone are not enough. Audio tools are also needed. If students see a sound symbol in a book, how do they know how to pronounce it? The fact is that English learners become English teachers after graduation, but they have never heard the correct pronunciation of native speakers. Students can also study at will. They have books to read, but they don't know how to say certain words. How do students know the pronunciation of the word 'sheep'? You should hear the correct pronunciation from your teacher or a native English speaker. Students tend to learn from the movies they watch, but they often learn the wrong things because movies contain jargon and dialects that are not suitable for multiple forms of communication.
Secondly, students do not value learning. They often think that the English they speak at home or on the street is the same as the English they write on the test. However, since communication does not have to be grammatically correct to be understood, students do not always follow the rules they learned in school, and therefore cannot receive a full education and/or pass exams. Students will not spend as much time learning English as they do on other subjects. In most cases, students only learn English in class while the teacher is teaching. After class, they put down their books and waited for the next class. They don't learn pronunciation, they don't write on paper, and they don't struggle to learn new words. In class, they gave each little question to the teacher, including what they could find in the dictionary. When students make mistakes and correct themselves, they often say, “After all, this is not my language”. This will greatly affect your ability to learn English.
And finally, vocabulary is the biggest obstacle to learning English. However, English word training is an effective way to learn English, as it can help us correctly identify word forms and parts of speech, understand the meaning of words, and quickly expand our vocabulary. Among them, the affix is the strongest and constitutes the largest number of words, it is considered one of the best ways to learn English. Also, combining, converting, mixing, and adapting, acronyms and suffixes are also effective ways to learn English. The thesis analyzes the form and characteristics of words from the aspects of affix, compound, and conversion. For example, conversion includes the formation of new words by converting words from one type to another without changing the morphological structure. New words are new words only in the grammatical sense. For example, the word 'paper' as a noun has four meanings: 1) material in wood or cloth, 2) newspaper, 3) expert article, and 4) wallpaper. When it becomes a transitive verb, it is only related to the fourth meaning, such as 'use green wallpaper in the room'.
In conclusion, learning English is not an easy process, but I think it is worth it. English is a language of opportunity, so we should all make an effort to master it to the fullest.
