How can you become fluent in a foreign language?

 

Yes...I KNOW YOU'RE EXCITED. I'M EXCITED. Now I present you a blog about how can you become fluent in a foreign language.

The quick answer on how to achieve fluency in a language is that it is a matter of motivation. Having seen a lot of language learners, I am convinced that motivated learners achieve fluency, and unmotivated learners don’t.

Can I become fluent in a foreign language?

Unfortunately it is only possible to acquire this sense of confidence after having learned at least one language. Then the more languages you learn, the more competent and confident you become.

I firmly believe that we all have the innate ability to learn foreign languages. We just need to believe in ourselves, and stay with the process. We just need to develop new habits and give ourselves the benefit of the doubt.

There is a condition. Just as with embarking on a journey, when you decide to learn a language, you accept responsibility for reaching your target. In other words you have to take charge. You have to become and an autonomous learner.

If your answer to this question is no, then you are best to stop trying. If you don’t believe that you can reach the destination in your journey, why start? On the other hand, if you believe you can become fluent in a foreign language, you are well on your way to achieving fluency.

Will it work?

Will the learning method that you are using enable you to achieve your goal? If you want to travel somewhere, you have to be confident that the mode of transportation you are using will take you to the destination. By the same token you have to believe in the learning strategy that you have chosen. If you believe that the learning method you are using doesn’t work, then you should change that method.

 If we are familiar with the language, with the way of thinking of the new culture, and if we learn lots of words, the ability to express ourselves naturally and clearly in the new language can easily develop. On the other hand, starting with a concern about grammar and hoping to speak meaningfully when we have trouble understanding what people are saying is putting the cart before the horse.

There are many people, however, who believe that we should speak from day one. If they believe in this approach and enjoy it, and if they stay with it, I am sure it works for them. Make sure you find a method that you believe in and one that you find enjoyable.               OK THANK YOU.

Smellyalayta guys!

My Favourite Singer

Justin Bieber 

      "Baby,baby, baby, oh I thought you'd always be mine." Anybody could sing these lyrics, but no one could ever do it as well as Justin Bieber. Every time I hear a Justin Bieber song on radio, I find my self singing along with a smile on my face. Although he is worshiped for his good looks and amazing voice, Justin has much more to offer his fans. Justin Bieber is my hero because he is a successful pop star and an inspiring person. Yes, Justin Bieber may be one of the most popular pop singers at the moment, but he tries to be normal kid, works hard, and shares his wealth with people in need.

         The first thing that impresses me about Justin Bieber is that although he is extreamly famous, under all that fame there is still a real person who cares deeply about his friends and family. Even though Justin best friends and most of his family live in Canada, he tries to see them as often as he can. He tries to at least take off one day a week to just hang out with friends and family.

              In conclusion, there is more to Justin Bieber than just a handsome face on magazine covers. He is a normal, hard working person who cares about people in need. He taught himself how to play all kinds of instruments, and is still commited to improving himself by taking voice and dance lesson. Also, he never gives up if he does something wrong. More admirable than the effort he puts into his career, however, is that Justin donates his time and money to charities to help people in need. I really enjoy Justin music, but I truly do admire him most for all of his hard work and effort to improve himself and help others.

Smoking vs Vape

             Hye guys I am back for my blog! so today my topic is smoking vs vape. So I would like to ask you guys, which one are more harmful. Either smoking or vape? or both are harmful for us? These two things are common among Malaysian youth right? Ok, firstly according to statistic by Ministry of Health Malaysia, 49% of youth in Malaysia were smoking without knowing the bad side effects for themselves. This show that they know less about the dangers of taking cigarettes. And vape, known as inhalation device are become popular and trending early 2016 in Malaysia. Some of Malaysian smoker said that the vape can reduce desire to smoke.

             Smoking generally has negative health effect. Most commonly the substance is the dried leaves of the tobacco plant which have been rolled into a small square of rice paper, a round cylinder and we called it as cigarettes. Cigarettes have negative effects such as can has a risk of stroke, brain damage, lose sense of smell and taste and the various type of cancer which is cancer nose, lip, mouth and etc. this means that cigarettes contains bad materials. Moreover, some smokers in their 20s who said they normally puffed 14 cigarettes a day. There are not only guy who smoking, Some of the lady who smoking too and even a pregnant woman were smoking tho. Why people smoke? According to the research, the cause of they started to smoke are to release tensions. Most people start smoking when they are in their teens and are addicted by the time they reach adulthood. Why they can't stop smoking? Because smoking is such strong addictions. It is a habit that very difficult to break. 

            Vape or known as a inhalation device or famous as electronic cigarettes contains various of  active ingredients of plant material. Vape are made of materials such as metal or glass. Smoking and vape actually are the same but vaping is a electronic cigarettes without burning the tobacco. Want to know more about vape? ok. Basically the bound of vape beginnings at the hands of Herbert Gilbert in the early 1960s. It would appear this founding architect of what was to be the cigarette replacement. Vape contains cancer-causing formaldehyde at levels up to 15 times higher than regular cigarettes. 

           The conclusion according on my research about smoke and vape are these two are harmful for ourselves because has a lot of bad effect that harm ourselves in the future. To those smokers and vapors, please be alert and more aware of the bad effect to your body. Don't harm your body with the tobacco that are actually really dangerous and harmful to you. For smoker who wants to quit and find the way to change the habit with electronic cigarettes, please consider it again because these two actually are same. For muslim man who try to quit, there  are many ways according to our Al-Quran and As-Sunnah such as fasting so that can reduce the habits of taking cigarettes, drink a lot of mineral water and many more. In other words quitting cigarettes may be one of the long term side effects of vaping which increases your life span. Last but not least, Goodluck to those who are trying to quit smoking and vape. Trust yourself that you can do and no matter how hard it is, remember that there is a will, then there is a way in every problem and those who are not smoking and vape, don't ever think to try it once okay?! hehe Goodluck and be happy always :)

Can Men and Women be a Bestfriend Even After Marriage.

Salam alaikum brothers & sisters. On this post I'm gonna talk can male and female be a best friend even after marriage. I don't think they can be a friends. HeHe. Yeah, I'm joking before we start.

So let's going straight into a see about this topic. Men and women can be a best friends assumes that they already married appears to be not true!. This is fascinating.

Now, let me be clear. I'm not saying you can't have friends of the opposite sex. And I'm not saying that all your opposite sex. And I'm not saying that all your opposite sex relationships are bad. But what I'm saying is, the unavoidable progression of relationships is something that is far to easily ignored, for how dangerous they can be. If ignored and dismissed for too long, you'll be in a relationship too deep to stop. The good person in you won't want to hurt them (your opposite-sex friend) or your spouse because neither one deserves to be hurt. So it becomes a mess.

Your spouse should be your best friend. Marriages have "ups" and "down". During an "up" season, where everything is bright and dandy, it might be easier to allow a seemingly harmless opposite-sex relationship to exist, even it is frustrates your spouse a little bit. But in the "down" season, that opposite-sex friendship could become a destructive wildfire-and one that is very hard to extinguish. During that "down" season when you start having issues, disagreements, and fights with your wife, conveniently you have a female friend who understands you, will listen, is "always there for you," and is fun and easy to talk to. 

Wait a minute, that sure sounds a lot like the vows once made to a special person called your spouse...

"Marriage is a unique relationship where you choose to throw your decisions under the authority of your words"

You made promise, and now you must make decisions that honor your promise. When you find yourself torn between where you should spend your effort and energy, the answer is likely your spouse. They are your priority, and your energy and effort should first be devoted to them. Even when it's hard, and especially when it's easy.

May Allah swt Mercy & Blessings be upon you all.

Fashion

                  

             Assalamualaikum and hi guys! I am back to write a new blog with new topic this week. The topic of my blog this week is about fashion. When we talk about fashion, everyone know that 'fashion' is all about a pouplar style, especially in clothing, footwear, accesories, make up and especially in brand. There are a lot of branded clothing and etc that makes us look more attractive and beautiful to wear. Fashion trends are influenced by several factors including economical, social and technological in this era. Most of designer all around the world use this factors to attract people and to help determine growth or decline of a particular trend. 

                              

Firstly, social influences play a big role on fashion's today. For example, with the influences of social media, celebrities and etc. This way have impact on fashion and trend at any time. Furthermore, In Malaysia are common with the muslimah trend that are became famous in early 2016. Muslimah trend that contains the latest style, fashions and a taste of muslimah to wear it. This mean that muslimah trend are made specially for a muslimah and proves that a muslimah can also have their taste of fashions in this era. Moreover, technology influences are growing more apparent in the fashion industry. Internet technology such as online retailer, online shop platforms have given way for trends to be identified by people. So people who don't have time to go shopping but want to stay up to date with the lates trend can easily buy with online shop in Instagram, Facebook and web that sell the outfit that you want to buy. Lastly, In recent years, Asian fashion has become incresingly significant in local and global markets. But now, Asian clothing style are also gaining bad influence based on west style which is not acceptable in some muslimah wear and outfit. Whatever  it is, you still have to be up to date and trending with what acceptable, comforting in your own way. Last but not least, try to mix and match the colour of your outfit to look more gorgeous and lively. Goodluck in styling in your own way!
