Motivation for learning English First of all I agree that learning English requires action. Your motivation of learning depends of courses why you are studding foreign language. I think you will succeed well when you will enjoy of learning English. Somebody received a satisfaction of studding process and someone gets pleasure of Result of language mastering. I agree that enjoyment leads to better memory. I like the viewpoint of imagining yourself in the future. Of course, you can change your profession and it will be connect with foreign economy. I disagree with a statement “You are good, but your English probably isn't perfect.” Because none can be perfect in something as language is an alive thing, it develops constantly and you have no physical possibility to learn all the nuances. As to me the best motivation is a desire to receive a more prestige job and more high salary because today one of the main requirement to the worker is knowing of foreign language at least English. Of course, you will learn English more effectively if you feel responsibility before your self and desire to self-development. A great motivation for studding foreign language (English) is for travelling, making new friends or residence change. The best way is to plunge into the environment of native speaking or to communicate the acquaintance which knows English perfectly. All depends on the purpose for which you study foreign language. Each person accepts his own motivation!
