When learning a new language, many people are scared of making mistakes and feeling embarrassed,

but mistakes can be your biggest asset when learning a new language.

Mistakes are not something to be afraid of. They're to be learned from and remembered.

In this video, we'll look at how mistakes can help you learn faster.

Part 1.

How mistakes help you remember.

Think back to when you were in grade school.

Think of a mistake you made in front of everyone in the class.

This is probably easy to remember for most people.

You were likely very embarrassed.

When we make mistakes, we often immediately look around to see other people's reactions.

Some people are compassionate, other people not so compassionate, and we tend to notice the negative

reactions a little more.

We remember the people who might be laughing at us or smiling.

We remember these embarrassed feelings, sometimes for a very long time. Sometimes these experiences affect us for years.

The same thing is true with language mistakes.

If you make a language mistake in public, you're not likely to forget it.

It could be a simple vocabulary word mix-up,

or a silly grammar mistake that changes the entire meaning of what you want to say.

In moments where you make mistakes like these, though, you'll find that most people won't

be bothered by your mistake.

Some people might even help you correct it, but the feeling of embarrassment might remain.
