ALL PEOPLE CAN SPEAK ENGLISH

Do you want to be able to speak English? Just be confident! All people can learn new language easily. The ability of using new language isn’t only owned by genius man, or in the other words, all people are able. But, you must listen the language every day. Do you still remember when you learnt your mother tongue for the first time? Your mother didn’t teach you the language, did she? The answer is so simple: because you listen your mother tongue and use it in your daily, at home, at school, etc.

Then, this process of learning a language called as “language achievement” (pemerolehan bahasa). As long as we listen to the language, the achievement will be got. That is the difference between learning language and learning other things.

A young learner, especially under 13 has natural ability to achieve more than 1 even 2 language at the same time. But, the learner should listen to the language that used on daily interaction. Scientist said that this ability will be getting down when a learner is going to be adult. In the other words, if you still a young learner, you can be a Multilanguage speaker. Just ensure yourselves that you have potential to master English easily as long as you always try to listen and use English. Listening activities can be watching English movies, listening to English song, listening to English news, and reading “speaking book”. (Freely translated from Yunior, May 4th, 2008 edition.
