Sometimes someone uses a bad method of language learning and succeeds anyway, while someone else uses a great method and fails. Why?
How can some people use very ineffective methods (and still make them work) while others can take great methods and fail miserably. Your Emotional Response to Your Learning Method Determines if You Will Succeed or Fail When I looked at the emotional responses of language students to their language learning opportunities, I think I found the answer. Did the student get excited about learning grammar with only a dry textbook? If so, she probably went on to succeed. If she felt neutral, bored, or stressed with great learning software like this web site, she probably failed. Good Emotions Lead to Success Do your emotions really affect how much you learn? Absolutely. But you still have to be using a method that really works. A lot of so called “learning” games are a lot of fun, but there isn’t much learning. Once you have a method that really works, anything that you can do that helps you feel better will make it 10 times more effective. Stressful Emotions Lead to Failure Everyone who stresses out or worries about learning will either eventually get over their stress or fail. It’s that simple. There are no exceptions. That’s why we put so much emphasis on feeling good whether you get the answer right or wrong. If today’s study didn’t make you feel good, you probably won’t come back again and do it tomorrow! So relax, take a deep breath, and learn to enjoy your mistakes. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

You seem to like cutting and pasting stuff from other websites. It gives off a very spammish impression.

I think we are entering the era of Spam 2.0. Post a couple of bland general messages on a forum first, rather than launching straight into the spam. What I find surprising, is that even after all these years of practice, they still never seem to quite manage to write like normal posters.

The Copied Web Article
You could also at least copy less blatantly obvious advice. This could be summed up in one sentence: If the content you are learning is interesting to you, you will learn far more easily and have more success.
