Studying American English for TOEFL- Natural Born Learners or Motivation

Either you are natural(ly) good with languages or you need to work really, really hard to make any progress it doesn’t really matter.  Either way you can achieve your goal.  The real question here is how you will approach the English language learning process, how much time you will spend preparing yourself and most importantly if you have the motivation or if you have the internal drive to achieve your goal. 

Why are you learning English?  Do you really, and I mean YOU, not somebody else like your parents or other significant others, do you really want to learn English?  Do you know why and how much you will benefit from knowing the English language? 

Internal motivation or my own need to do something is the key to success in any field not just in language education.  There are psychological blocks to any activity, which is perceived by us as unnecessary or harmful.  This is one of our primal self defense mechanisms. 

Why do you want to speak American English?  Are you going to America?  Do you need to take TOEFL?  Did you know that American English is the most popular and most spoken variant of the English language?  Did you know that the Test of English as a Foreign Language is accepted not only in the United States of America but all over the World? 

Did you know that American English is simpler than British English?  Did you know that you can start speaking American English as a Foreign Language sooner than any other English language form? 

Motivation, YOUR motivation, is the key to learn to speak American English, now. 

Are you with me on this? 

Happy learning!  Have fun learning American English!
