The "Little Secret" to learn a Foreign Language…


Fluency in a second language opens so many doors. There are more job opportunities, more potential friends and acquaintances, and the chance to learn about different countries and their cultures. 

Many people start out with good intentions, but then for various reasons give up their study. “It is too hard”; “I do not have enough time”, “At my age”; “What for”, etc., etc. The Drama Mode activates and our Brain gives up.

On the other side, many people master foreign languages and become quite fluent in them.

What is their "Little Secret"? An Empathic Language Teacher!

An Empathic Teacher is fundamental to learn in a pleasant and effective way.

She/he is a trigger to…

1. Motivation to Communicate
2. Constant Practice
3. Disinhibition
4. Willingness to learn from mistakes
5. The habit to contextualise
6. New connections to get the “Aha Moment”
7. The conviction to express your idea, anyhow
8. The focus on Speaking, not just on Grammar
9. Monitoring and comparison your own speech with others’
10. Self-Confidence
