Challenges In Acquiring English Languange

Hello guys!! So this is my second entry. Lets begin with the name of Allah. 

When i reminiscing the old days, I still remembered an incident that had happened when I was still a child. Maybe I was around 10 years old ( I'm not really sure) at that time. Even though it already happened long time ago, but it still vivid in my mind. I once had a new friend that just moved to our school at that time. She spoke English fluently. All of my teachers were amazed with her ability to speak English and often became the apple of teacher's eyes. But me and all my friends was really annoyed and envy with that girl. What a shameful action I had did! Hahahaha. Such a childish person I was.


But now I realize that English is everything in our life. By hook or by crook we must learn how to speak English fluently. Actually,I really love to watch English movies. A movie's ghost sometimes.Well,I'm sure it was quiet upsetting when you watch a movie without a subtitle. Of course not only me but also you, do not want to slip over the important things they say in that movies. So I need to acquire English to become a good speaker and also a good listener of English Language.





Honestly,there was so many challenges that I had faced in order to acquiring English at first. But I need to push my limit to learn English because profession as a doctor will deal with a lot of peoples. I can't expecting all of them will speak in my mother tongue language. Of course there will be so many challenges that I had faced in acquiring English Language.

1.CONFIDENCE.
I never had them in myself before. I need to admit I am girl who really have low self esteem before. I'm afraid if I will make mistakes and people will laugh at me. I'm sure many of us had this problems right?

2.PEOPLE'S PERCEPTION
Then, I also had faced our people's lame perception. They always tend to think that people who speak in English just want to show off and such a snob person. (So do I before,that's my mistake) hahaha. We need to get rid of that perception by now.

3.LACKING OF BOOKS
I have to admit that there was so not so many choices when it comes to borrow English books in my library. So I need to buy it by myself if I want to read a particular book. Honestly,it had cost quite a lot of money. But people always said that 'Money is the ticket to getaway of knowledge'.

4.DIFFERENT PRONUNCIATION

For example in movies,there is a lot of slang and colloquial language that is used. So i had practiced myself to watch many television programs and also listened to radio stations in which English is used.

5.GRAMMAR
I'm pretty sure that most of us had this problem.Given a examination papers that full of red ink on it is a sign that there is many grammar error in our writing and for sure is such a nightmare.Because of that,most of us is afraid to speak in English in and also writing essay in English. 

6.RARELY USE IN DAILY CONVERSATION
This one also a big problem to me before. Of course it is because we usually talk with our friends in our mother tongue language which is Malay. Realizing that it was a big problem to me, I started to practice to use English in my daily conversations. Practice makes perfect,right?

7.NOT HAVING PARTNER TO PRACTICE SPEAKING SKILLS
At first,I always practiced to speak in front of mirror. Until sometimes my mom quiet curious with whom I talked with. Hahaha. And I realized that I need to find a partner to help me improving my speaking skills and also correcting my errors.

8.DIFFICULTY IN UNDERSTANDING NEW WORDS
When reading English books such as Shakespeare, I often puzzled about the meaning of particular words. So I taking an action by listed down the new words that I found in the books that I had read to make it as my reference in other days.

9.HESITATE TO SPEAK
Just be confident. everyone of us has the right to speak out their mind loud. Never afraid to break the grammatical rules. It is one of learning process,right?

10.EDUCATION SYSTEM
It was undeniable that our education system is quite poor. For example,for secondary school the system had been changed again from English to Malay when it comes to learn about Science stream. It can confuse our students actually and also lessen the chances for them to acquire English Language.

So that's all for now. I hope people out there that have the desire to learn English, just go with it until your limit. Don't ever stop until you grab it. Never give up and keep it up guys!
