Kaleidoscope reflection
Needs:
I think that I understand quite well, what other people say. My problem is that I am not that well speaking english, for example pronunciation, creating good sentences and vocabulary are difficult for me.
Skills:
I think my speaking is still better than my writing, because I have heard lots of english, but I don´t know how the words are wrote on paper. The grammar is also difficult for me.
Motivation:
My biggest motivation is to learn speak good english. I want to travel and to be able to speak with new people. I don´t care so much about writing english, because I think that I won’t need that skill as much as speaking skill. I am very motivated to practise speaking and reading english text.Personality: I like to learn english by listening and traveling. I don’t care much about grammar or structures. I hope that I learn grammar listening language and not so much sitting and making practises. It’s easier to me practise english by reading or listening and not filling the workbook, because that will not motivates me.
Learning background:
My motivation at studying languages is now much higher than at school. That’s probaply, because at school I didn´t understand the meaning on studying languages. Now I have relatives, who can’t speak finish so I speak english with them. That has been very good motivater for me.
