Don’t dream it, be it!
Whatever your area of expertise is, teaching methods are sure to have changed, probably in a good way. However, globalization may bring some disadvantages as to education as well. The important thing is that we spot them so we can be fully aware and responsible for our education.
The lack of time that characterizes the current daily life is the first thing we have to deal with when taking up a course. How do we deal with lack of time? Is there a way to compensate it? Well, actually there is a way. We have to be willing to change lack of time for a right attitude. What do we mean by ‘the right attitude’? Just stop thinking about the subject you are studying as something separate from your daily life, something you need to “make time” to study, as a dedication that has nothing to do with you. In contrast, make it intrinsic to your person. Become your interest, be one. Start thinking in that language, listen to music that has to do with that and connect ideas. When watching TV, try picking a show that has to do with that as well. Don’t dream it, be it!
For example, English Classes in London are the perfect way to learn the language. When you finish the lesson you face the English everyday life, which is now your life. Of course, if you can’t travel, you can still be surrounded by an English environment. There are many ways apart from TV and music to do this. Try changing some habits, for instance, why don’t you start reading the local news in English? You can find news from all over the world in English, since it is such a popular language, you can find good translations that will help you acquire grammar and vocabulary in a natural way. Moreover, when going out, you can choose places where you know you will be able to find tourists, and why not talk to them? You don’t have to feel embarrassed if your English is not good enough, since they will appreciate the fact that you are trying. Besides, everybody is more social when travelling as a tourist; people are more open-minded and will probably enjoy engaging in a fun conversation. When I took French Classes in London, I used that technique. Even though I wasn’t physically in France, French visitors were glad to have someone willing to speak to them in their native tongue.
