The most difficult part of learing new language.

It can be quit difficult to learn a new language. What do you think are the most difficult aspects of learning a new language?

Regarding to Global village, people need to learn different languages. Some people can speak more than one language while others struggle with mastering only a new language in various reasons. In my case, learning new vocabulary is the most difficult. Using appropriate pronunciation and knowing different meaning of words depends on situation is most hard aspects.

First, even though we know the meaning of vocabularies, if we can not pronounce well, it is hard to have communications.
In English, rice and lice have different meaning /l/ or /r/ pronunciation. For example, imagine if a new English learner wanted to order rice but pronunciation lice, he/she would be embarrassed because waiter/waitress doesn’t understand. “Rice” means a type of food but “lice” means a kind of insect. How foolish if you order bugs in the restaurant.

Second, one vocabularies has different meaning depends on situation. I remember when I started to learn English. I learned “go” meaning. One day I met my foreign friend in the street. He asked me “How did it go?” and I answered “I didn’t go any place. I stayed at home.” In the question “go” doesn’t mean “move to other place” but it is the way of greeting same as “How are you.” Like this understanding vocabulary is not easy. We need to have many experiences to use words in different situation.

All of all, learning new words need to more experiences and practice. It is definitely most hard parts of learning a new language.
