Listening, listening over and over again

   Several years lost trying to improve the target language, in this case English.Albit, I always was learning another languages but with not succes. Why? Because finally one discovers that the brain is damaged on account of long time of being on the wrong track. A lot of time assisting to traditional classes following the conductist method. Passing all the time in a classroom studying what is not possible to study, that is, how to speak a foreign language.

 

   Being able to speak a foreign language is not a matter of classroom process, such as language lessons. This  process has nothing to do with  that kind of training methods. But has all to do with socio-cultural phenomena. Speaking a human language is a matter of communication, that is making sense of the world that sorround us.

 

   Speaking a language is a social costume as a matter of fact we speak our mother language because we are familiarized with this one. Nobody taught us how to speak in our own language, because we are listening the mother language from the very begining of our lifes. Since when we were growing in the uterus of our mom. Incontrovertibly, we all started to acquire the language with an input.

 

   You have to be accustomed  to listening the target language all the time

Don't try to decode every piece of the word. Nobody understands the utterences focus his mind on every piece of the speech. Alike aur mother language we understand the message catching the quantums of meaning. I mean this one is not in the part but does in the whole utterance. We understand chunks of meaning.
