Some people use a bad method to learn a language and succeed, while others use good methods and fail?  How can it be that some people can use very ineffective methods and still make them work while others can take great methods and fail miserably.

I think the answer is to check the emotional response of the student.  Did they get excited about learning grammar with only a dry textbook?  If so, that method has a good chance of working for them.

Did they feel neutral, bored, or stressed when presented with a great learning method like the software on this web site?  If so, then it’s possible that a very effective technology won’t work for them.

Do your emotions really affect how you learn that much?  The answer to that question is yes, they do affect your learning that much but the main path is indirect.

Yes, you will learn better if you are feeling good with every new phrase you get right AND feeling good with every phrase you get wrong.  That will help you learn a lot faster.

But the really big reason why you have to feel good when you study is that if you don’t feel good about your study, you won’t come back again and do it tomorrow!

So read our articles on how to feel good when you study and then start to practice feeling good with every right or wrong answer you give.

It will help you learn a lot faster.
