Learning from mistakes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

“The biggest mistake you can make in life is to fear to err constantly<\/em>.” – Elbert Hubbard<\/span><\/p>\n

When a certain level of English is reached during our learning of the language, there comes a time when we start to be able to communicate through the
\n vocabulary<\/strong>
\n<\/a> and the
\n grammar<\/strong>
\n<\/a> we have learned and that feels good, doesn’t it! However, at this point students tend to translate everything from their native language into English. Although a decent conversation can be held in this way, many times our students say things that are confusing and not entirely clear. This is a consequence of l
\n “Spanglish”.<\/strong>
\n<\/a>that is, the mixture of English and Spanish<\/strong>. However, there are many occasions in which translating something literally is totally correct, as the saying goes: “You don’t lose anything by trying”.<\/span><\/p>\n

From FunTalk, we encourage you to make mistakes<\/strong> because it means that you are trying hard and it means that you want to learn and that you want to be corrected so that you don’t make the same mistake again. You can’t make progress without making mistakes, especially when you’re learning English.
\n learning English<\/strong>
\n<\/a>. Our job is to help correct these faults and to help the student to
progress. In fact, one of the biggest complaints from English language learners is that they are not corrected for the mistakes they make.<\/span><\/p>\n

At FunTalk, we pride ourselves on the time we spend correcting errors and mistakes. During the classes,
\n OUR TEACHERS<\/strong>
\n<\/a> they take notes of the mistakes made by the students, correcting them and then teaching the correct way through several significant examples that allow their complete assimilation. Many of the mistakes<\/strong> we make learning languages are repeated because we don’t even know we are making a mistake<\/strong>; we have never been corrected or we don’t know the correct written or spoken usage even after being corrected.<\/span><\/p>\n

When corrected, the student feels more willing to try and not be afraid of making mistakes again. Moreover, he is aware of his own mistakes and will eventually begin to correct himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some examples of Spanglish<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n
