What is the key to being a successful English learner? Take a second and think. If you answered something like great vocabulary, excellent pronunciation, and/or exceptional listening comprehension, I would advise you to think again. While these are characteristics of a good English speaker, these are the RESULTS of a success, not the keys.

There are no easy paths, no shortcuts, no magic pills. Understand that your attitude is the key to being a successful English learner. Unless you take responsibility for your own learning, how can you expect to be successful? If you are willing to accept the truth that how you see the world is the most important factor in determining your success, then keep reading. The goal of this page is to direct you to all of our articles that will help you improve your attitude.  These articles go deep down, past the phrasal verbs and listening comprehension, down to the depths of your mind and heart.
