Dear Fiona,
English is, ans always has been my favourite language. That is why I chose it out of many other languages without hesitation. Still, it is a long way to not only be one of thousands who speak English, but one of the best. To achieve this aim, I would like to inform you about my learning strategies, my strenghts and weaknesses!
I never considered learning languages as something I had to do, but something I really enjoyed doing. In my opinion, a positive attitude towards achieving knowledge, a new language for example, is a crucial part of the learning process. This positive attitude might be one of the reasons why I memorize vocabulary very easily. I would also count my open-minded and communicative personality as a strength of mine. I am not afraid to talk to someone in a foreign language. When talking, I can practcethe things I have already learned and enlarge my vocabulary at the same time. To mention some of my weaknesses, I have difficulties with the different tenses somethimes ans in terms of writing, I am not very skilled in text production and need a lot of time for it.
In order to improve my languages skills, I am trying to repeat everything that I have learned over and over again. To practice my listening and speaking skills, I will continue talking to native speakers whenever I have the chance to do so. Last but not least, I will focus on the parts of a language I still have problems with, such as tenses and writing.
Best regards,
Kathi Luttenberger
