Dear Fiona,
My motivation to choose English is love,enthusiasm and eagerness to it, a desire to get to know literature in English, watching movies and listening to the English songs.We live in the information age, whenever I would like to search for something on the internet or find world news, English is definitely needed. Additionally, everyone knows that English is a global language and knowledge of this language is one of the basic steps getting a well-paid job.Thus I decided to study at the faculty of English language and literature so that I really become proficient.Also, I was in England at summer school and it was a final urge to choose English as my major.
My strengths as a language learner are that I am motivated, diligent, can work in a group or independently and have good time management skills. I am aware of the fact that learning a language is a long process. Therefore, I have to be patient. Aspects that I feel confident are reading, listening, speaking but I definitely would like to improve my writing skills.
My preferred strategies and techniques for learning a language are: to use monolingual dictionaries, search for synonyms, antonyms, idioms ,read texts thoroughly and later check for unknown words, I always do grammar exercises. It was very useful for me when, last year, my American friends helped me to improve my English and in return, I tutored them in Georgian. My favourite learning style is social(interpersonal) so I feel comfortable while studying in a group.To my mind, one of the best ways to master a language is studying daily and practicing a lot because "for the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." (Aristotle)
