Cure the fear of making mistakes

I have heard so many times the expression: 'I am very stupid.I cannot learn anything.I make only mistakes'.
Making mistakes is discouraging at first because they are many. And they should be like this. it is quite impossible to learn everything and never make mistakes,especially in the first stage of the learning process.
People are terrified about making mistakes because they were told mistakes are bad and they should be avoided.
In language learning mistakes are a fountain of knowledge. You need to experiment with language and sometimes you make mistakes.
The thing we need to learn about mistakes is that there is a lesson behind every mistake. Every time we say something wrong for example: 'I can to speak' we get corrected.
The right thing to do would be to learn the rule and apply it next time.
But many people repeat the mistake 2,3,10 times until they learn the rule.
If this is your case you need to be patient with yourself and not expect too much. Allow yourself the necessary time to get used to the new structures.
Tip: When I was learning English for the first time I used to write down the mistakes I made more than 2-3 times and the correct rule so that I could check it from time to time and see if I have learnt the rule

Mental exercises are the key!

Now, let's see...do you hate learning? Most people will say yes,it is not at all enjoyable.
How do you make it more enjoyable?
Well the first thing you'll need to know is that in order to learn and improve your language you need to apply it in your daily activities.
Many people say they do not have time or with whom to practise English as a second language. They go to class,come back home,write their homework, read some texts,listen to some music in English and that is about all.
Well,my dear friends, there is another way of constantly improving your English:

MENTAL EXERCISE

If you learn today , for example how to use the present perfect or the passive voice, you can do the following exercise:
1. You start with a structure like: 'I learn English'
2. Then you change the tense: I have learnt English
3.Then you add an adverb which combines with present perfect e.g. : I have learnt English all day

You can create even your own mental stories with characters of your own. This is a very good technique of creating new structures and improving the ones you already know.

Why should anyone learn English?

Difficult question,right?
Well, I must confess I have taught English for 5 years now and I know for sure that we all need to have some basic knowledge of English.
Sadly, we do not always have time to lean it as we should. We do our best to go to classes, listen to the teacher but still, we do not always understand why we need to learn so many rules and when we need to apply them.
The secrets which nobody tells you when yo go to class (they don't mention them in the books either)
1. Language is a logical system in which the grammar elements are kept only if they are performing a role. Actually we use the elements such as the pronouns or the articles because we do need them.
2. Grammar is not a system we learn to speak correctly. We learn it to express our thoughts correctly and be understood by others. We need to reflect real time situations as clear and accurate as possible using the language elements.
3. If we know HOW to use language we have a very powerful tool in our hands.' Oh,really?' you will say. Well, yes :) Just think about historic speeches made by Aristotles,Plato etc.
4. We use grammar in any moment of our lives,daily for any kind of action :)
5. Basically we live, love,hate, give thanks,argue, stimulate, encourage, judge, lie, admit,react using...LANGUAGE
