People learn English for many different reasons. People also have many different styles of learning English. Despite these facts, many learners of English have rather rigid ideas about what "good learning" really means. They think that there are certain "rules and regulations" that apply to learning English well, and that, if they follow these rules, they will surely learn English well.
Other learners (and teachers) are convinced that learning is just a process of assimilation and that, if you stay calm and let the world do its magic, you will automatically learn. Of course, there are also learners who believe the exact opposite of this approach and feel that learning grammar rules by heart is the best way to improve their English.
There are also learners who, unfortunately, believe that they are not really capable of learning English well and tend to be too hard on themselves. And, there are those who think they know all there is to know and like to correct their fellow students.
In other words, there are many, many approaches and attitudes to learning English. In my opinion, it is also important to ask yourself questions about your own attitude to learning English to refine your approach as you continue learning. It is with this idea in mind that this feature introduces a new interactive quiz which asks you questions about some of the most common beliefs about learning English.
