In our fleeting time one would like to learn a foreign language quickly, but not all succeed. Someone complains about incompetent teachers, antediluvian technique notorious language barrier.

I want to share with you my experience of learning foreign languages. In particular, the answer to the question that I allowed in my time so quickly learn Spanish?

Thus, the main psychological "trick": Put yourself in the place of the teacher.

This is the most effective thing I can offer. And it really works. It is known that people learn most quickly through identification with the teacher (and not only in foreign languages). What does this mean in practice?

First, imagine that you are learning the language is not for himself but for later explain the assimilation of other people: To teach their parents, children, friends... so anyone! Just change its "paradigm" point of view. Not necessarily translate this intention into reality and to go teach all the right and left. But it is advisable to at least try to close that there was no self-deception (say, I promise myself one thing, but actually do not do it: himself not tricked himself!)

Secondly, imitate his teacher, Copy of his intonation, facial expressions, gestures, even... We must, so to speak, to get used to the role. If you are learning the language of their own and you do not have a living example in front of him, "teacher" may be recording media language (better video). But it is still preferable to communicate with the teacher in person, so it was a so-called "direct transfer".

Finally, if possible, sit at the head table. That is, you do not just change the point of view of his mind (as in the first paragraph), but doing it in reality. The feeling of a very different when you look at with the "other side" of pupils. You have a responsibility, and with it - the belief that you can, as well as an incentive to know more. Of course, to implement the Council, unlike the first two, it may be a bit harder.
I promise you that with the help of a restructuring of consciousness will learn several times faster and easier!
