Phrase: Hand in hand
After being an English teacher for many years, I’ve learned that many things must go hand in hand to acquire a second language.
When things go hand in hand, they are often found together or are good together.
I’ve also heard almost every excuse for not being able to speak a second language fluently.
Attitude is of the utmost importance when it comes to learning anything.
We all have bad days (or weeks) when we don’t have the energy or desire to study.
That’s normal.
However, I’ve noticed students who have a positive attitude, excellent work ethic and are not afraid of mistakes make the most progress.
In most cases, these three things go hand in hand with success.
Positive attitudes and success usually go together: they depend on each other.
Successful people typically have a positive attitude, and people with a positive attitude usually attain success.
So, get out there, smile, read, use the new words you learn, and succeed in your English language studies.
