Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner? There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don't do. Here are some of the most useful suggestions from studies.
- Don't be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.
- Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good language learner always looks for opportunities to talk with other students.
- Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your notes when you do your homework.
- Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don't know. They also make their own vocabulary lists.
- Think in the language you're learning outside the classroom. When you're shopping or walking down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you're at home, say new words to practise your pronunciation.
- Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can find a lot of this online.
- Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and hear themselves speaking in the language. This helps their motivation.
- Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It's never too late to become a good language learner.

I would like to suggest to read as much as possible; this can be a book, a newspaper or instructions back of the product you purchase etc. Don't afraid to make conversation with other people; it will boost your confidence level. It is also important to keep practice writing. It will help you improve your spellings, and grammar and vocabulary. At last, be patient, things often take time before they show desirable results.

Today, my teacher introduced us an app called Johnny Grammar's Word Challenge for learning English. We downloaded the app on our smartphones and tried it as a guest to know how it worked at first. Fortunately, we found it fun, then we registered our user names to compete our achievement with other classmates in the next few weeks. My classmates said, "It's a great stuff!", "Although it's a bit challenging for me even at an 'easy' level, I'll try to be the top!", "I'm going on a game bindge!". For less confident learners like us, it's good to know that there's a way to learn something with fun. In that sense, my teacher is very cleaver and we appreciate the creator of the application who put out great work! :)
