Regina Ganieva Biography
The El Tapir blog from love to hatred of the album with photographs: here you are with your first textbook of Spanish, here is a cozy evening with the film Almodovar, here is a meeting of the conversational club, here is the first trip to Madrid. And then the courses again. A year later and the level below. This is not the case for everyone, but for many, so today we will talk about burnout.
So that this problem does not affect you, you need to make the main thing: understand and accept your capabilities and restrictions. Give yourself enough time to assimilate the material and not require the impossible from yourself. What makes us deviate from these principles and inadequately evaluate ourselves and our progress in learning the language? Comparison with other people.
Someone can learn the language faster than you and this is normal. If you do not compare yourself with the son of my mother’s girlfriend, it will become easier to live. Always remember: few people will tell you about their problems, but you will definitely hear about the examined exam on the first time, and the whole Instagram too. External exposure. But they are still present in your information field and undermine your self -confidence.
Maybe this is only a year I learn a language for a year, and someone has fun passing the marathon after the marathon and chatting freely with the Spaniards? Maybe I should already speak freely after half a year of study? Everything is in order with you and you do not believe that the language can be learned in a dream, by songs, and in less than a month. Excessed expectations.
We all want to be the best version of ourselves, but sometimes this desire goes into reproaches to ourselves, and then it's time to stop and think. Yes, I do not remember the forms of verbs the first time, sometimes I confuse CASA and COSA, so what? I repeat two-three-five times and it will be remembered, it will not go anywhere. Just relax your conscience that does not allow you to enjoy the learning process.
Now briefly about where we drive ourselves. We have two dead end paths that are opposite, like Scylla and Haribda, and our task is to pass between them: brain overload.
If progress goes slowly, then this is simply because the load is not enough. It is necessary to teach not five, but eight hours a day and then it will definitely take off. Familiar thoughts? If you were doing something like that before, then perhaps now you can survive a year or two of the rejection of your personal life in favor of language classes, but for the overwhelming number of people this is nowhere.
The voltage will accumulate and after a couple of months it will result in ritual burning of textbooks. Foreign languages are not a sprint, but a cross -country marathon. I have not been given. To accept yourself does not mean to surrender or begin to underestimate. Maybe some kind of lesson can be skipped, and in the lesson you can get silent in the corner, why not.
Nothing is remembered anyway. Why strain more than necessary? This is a direct path to a long stop in the A2 area. The road will master the walking. Running - it is possible, but on the run you can easily turn your leg without calculating strength. The crawling will probably crawl, but he scratches all his knees, and will not soon get to the finish line. Just do not demand the impossible from the brain, and it will not burn out.
Break a big task into a dozen stages and engage in systematically, in pleasure, not trying to embrace everything at once. Only regularity, gradual, plan, breakdown into stages and realism. And if you rested on the wall, ask the teacher for advice. From the side it is better to see what sizes, strength, is there a door in it, and indeed, whether this wall exists.
