Decisive Decision and Steps of championing a new Language

Learning a new foreign Language as a second or third language from my experience  can simply be compared to  a new developing Synthesis in a Man that takes a gradual process from Zero level to an Apex level because the imbibed Knowledge is already accustomed in such individual.

Nigeria is a Country of Versatility with over 500 languages and highly enriched among many west African countries in Africa. Precisely, tracing my origination back to Anambra state  reminds me of a blessed rich state in south eastern Nigeria although i was born in Ondo State another beautiful  historical City in  south western Nigeria where i was privileged to acquire a second Language(Yoruba) besides my Mother  Tongue(Igbo) before i took a personal decision of furthering my Master Degree in Journalism and communication science in German Language despite the difficulties of achieving this great future career in Germany.

An individual with the aim of learning a new Language most especially for career purpose must put into consideration the following important Factors;

Motivation is highly achieved based on personal agitation for faster methods of learning and high level of concentration  in learning the language. Language is an expression of recognized actuality , therefore the actuality of learning a new Language needs to be clear even without the foundation of trying to express oneself in an awkward way.
An individual  must be highly motivated with high self esteem most especially with the determination  of achieving such goal.

Regular Practice is much linked to other factors such as Time Management etc and can be achieved by self practice or paid practice whereby such individual with the help of  a Tutor, Language schools etc. acquires faster the knowledge of such language. Most times  the Language schools are the best option for regular practice because there are opportunities to communicate with other participants and also through this communication can an individual learn various values, cultures, norms and tradition of other participants from different  parts of  the  Continent.  


Willingness  to make mistakes is a playful way to language learning and self- confidence  to learn better and faster because it allows an individual speak freely regardless of mistakes made or errors in sentence construction because the first few weeks of speaking a foreign language its obvious to sound a bit ridiculous, however such individual must be willing to take such bold step  to learn this new language despite  the difficulties surrounding it.

Emotional Involvement is also an important factor because an Individual must be effusive in learning a new language and also be able to retain most informations related with strong emotions. for instance, relating sound of words with images and smell which is more effective than just reading words from dictionary. Discovering your favourite sense of memorizing or for memory retention  can equivalently be useful in learning a new language.

Lastly, Listening is an action that is performed with caution and attention to sounds. Listening is an essential skill of learning to speak in another language through comprehensive understanding  of sounds in various forms. An individual is obliged to actively develop the ability of listening in areas like Grammar, pronunciation and meaning.  Through quantitative research , an individual with great interest in learning a new foreign language must also put into consideration its benefits  as well as its disadvantages.
However every human has the gift and capacity of learning and speaking more than one Language and it absolutely requires a process and time.
