Human as social
beings need language to communicate their meaning and to keep their
realationship warm, if there were no language it would be hard to keep in touch
with other people.there are so much language in the world,for usually each
country has its own language moreover there are also countries,besides national
language have local language such indonesia that have local languge more than
one hundred.area of communication is not limited to race,religion,and country, sooner
or later human will need to communicate with people who use foreign language
and in order to do so they have to learn the foreign language of people they
communicate with. learning foreign language is not so hard if we follow these steps
below.
First of all is to have a strong
will to learn the language. a will will take role as a motivator so that we can
overcome obstacles we will face appearing during the process of learning and
will be source of our strength, besisde that motivation will make the material
and the theories seem to be more easy. a will also takes role as our goal, it
means how skilled we want to be or have we reached the requirement we have to
be. the goal can be various such as to be able to watch movie without looking
to the subtitle or to be accepted to work in an international-level hotel.
The
next step is to own a lot of vocabulries as our basic to build all aspect of a
language because we will need a various vocabularies in every use of the
language. to own vocabulary we have to categorize the vocabularies and know for
example which one is adjective what adjective for and which one is adverb what
adverb for.after that we have to memorize the vocabularies, the best way to
memorize vocabulary is by reading text and look for the meaning of words we
have found in the text, the more you read the more you will memorize the
vocabularies, beside that you can memorize vocabularies by writing down
vocabularies which you think to be hard and
make it as your own vocabularies.
The
third step is to know the rules of the language and how to use it in the
correct way as every language has its own usage and rule like grammar and
culture,so if we want to learn a language we must know its grammar to construct
a good and meaningful sentence because a wrong constructed sentence may cause
missunderstand like an active sentence that is spoken or written as passive
sentence for example”i ate rice” which is wrongly constructed as “i am eaten
rice”the first sentence is a good sentence and its meaning is clear but the
second sentence may make people confuse of its meaning because it is a wrongly
constructed sentence of the first sentence. moreover mastering a languge
without knowing its culture is dangerous for the wrong usage of words may make
people offend. so in order to master a language we have to know when we may use
slang words or when we must use formal words.
The
most important of those steps is to practice our language which we want to
master. to practice we can do it anywhere anytime and by using the way you want,
for listening skill you can practice it by listening to music what you like
sung in the language you want to master or watching movie you like and try to
understand the story without using subtitle.and for speaking skill you can
practice it by doing a lot of talking using the language such as speech it will
be fastening you in learning the language, as speech needs a good speaking
skill so the more you do it the more your speaking skill will be improved. beside
speech you can also make conversations with your friend using the language and
this way not only your speaking skill will be improved but also your confidence
in using the language will be also improved as well.
In summary, in order to master a new
language we need to use an organized an structured system which will make us
easier to learn the language. beside that having yearning is neccessary in
learning a new language for it will have people to go on and not stop halfway. knowing
and understanding words are as well important and are unseparable in learning
language process. moreover because the usage of each language is different
having awareness of the regulation of the language must be acquired. a lot of
training is also important as preparation for the real use.and then as we will
have to deal with foreign-language speaker sooner or later then it is important for us in order to be safe
from their deceit to master the language of people we deal with.
