How to Master Successfully Any Language of the World: a short Reflection.


Any idea or desire, is followed through this approach, “If anyone on Earth has done it, then there is no reason” by Dimitrive Slomov.  To acquire a second language we need to be motivated and very persistent, I am totally sure that most people who read this book could think that speaking many languages like a native speaker is wonderful, marvelous, amazing, etc. But they are only dreamers because it is seen like a something unreachable for a simple human being who have the same biological system, which has any other person.

            As a language instructor I have the mission of providing the learners with the opportunity to use an effective approach to acquire a second language, that’s why I have to categorize the teaching methods and reject the least successful in order to avoid wasting time, both instructor and learner. 

            “Speaking and writing will be referred to as outgoing  communication, while listening and reading  are  incoming  communication. Outgoing communication may require more  skills to be mastered, compared  to incoming.  Yet once outgoing communication is mastered,  incoming communication gets in very quickly, too.” In this particular case, I disagree with Dimitrive because the incoming communication (input), has worked on my language skills development before the outgoing communication, how I am supposed to speak very well if I have internalized some specific sounds which belong to a language and they are quite different from our mother tongue.

            Language is not a science but it is an art, as much as we practice the four skills we will be masters, it is similar to the piano or guitar, when putting into practice what we already know, and we get a high proficiency.

            Finally, as an instructor I should motivate the learners to have an instrumental or integrated motivation, providing them abstract questions where they can realize about the importance of acquiring a second language.
