Overcoming language barriers requires practice and patience from "summary" of The Power of Spoken English by Cedric M. Kenny
To effectively communicate in a new language, one must be willing to put in the time and effort required to overcome language barriers. It is not something that can be achieved overnight, but rather through consistent practice and patience. This means dedicating yourself to improving your language skills on a regular basis, whether through self-study, language classes, or conversations with native speakers. Practice is essential because it allows you to become more comfortable and confident in using the language. The more you practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing, the better you will become at communicating effectively. This can involve engaging in daily conversations, listening to podcasts or watching movies in the target language, reading books or articles, and writing in a journal or blog. Patience is equally important when it comes to overcoming language barriers. Learning a new language is a process that takes time, and it is natural to encounter challenges and setbacks along the way. It is important to be patient with yourself and to not get discouraged when you make mistakes or struggle to understand. Instead, view these obstacles as opportunities for growth and learning. By consistently practicing and being patient with yourself, you will gradually see improvement in your language skills. You will become more fluent in speaking, more adept at understanding others, and more confident in expressing yourself. Overcoming language barriers is a journey that requires dedication and perseverance, but the rewards of being able to communicate effectively in a new language are well worth the effort.
