No matter how trite, on the first place it is ubiquitous laziness! We like and want to learn something, to achieve something, and there seems to be something we need and what is important for us, but we always find excuses why today you will not do that, and start tomorrow, or Monday ...

Try to understand that the ideal time simply never comes and you need to learn here and now, despite the constant "obstacles" and external irritants. Do not look for excuses, but simply open the outline of a book or video lecture and spend on a lesson at-least 30 minutes a day.

Another reason - fear of speaking in a foreign language. So, you already speak some English and are craving to communicate with foreigners, but the thing - you can not open your mouth and utter a single word of English, but the words spinning in the head and almost on your tongue and you easily can write an essay in English instead of verbal answer.

To solve this problem, we need to develop the mechanical skill of our tongue to move properly. What, then, leads to the removal of the psychological barrier!
Other words, English words, phrases and even entire exercise, you are required to read aloud and repeat them out loud only! as many times so that your tongue began to pronounce them with the same ease as on native language.

Next reason is the negative school experience. People who are in conscious age decide to re-learn English, as a rule, had a negative experience in learning a foreign language at school. And in this category is 90% of people. We are from childhood were hammered into the a head that English is very complicated language and how much we need to learn, and this incomprehensible grammar ... In fact, everything is as it was. English was simply impossible to learn with such a "professional" approach.

Lack of motivation - one of the main factors that hinder successful learning of English. Understand for yourself why you need the English language! Could it be that everyone teaching it, and you just want to keep up? Or maybe because English - it is fashionable? Look inside yourself and try to find there an honest answer ... But the main thing here is not to confuse your response with the crowd response.
