When you turn 25 and go back to the class to learn something new, you expect things to be easier then when you were in the school, don't we? Atleast I thought so when i decided to take up french, but I felt no better then what I felt when I was in class 6-7-8......feeling of being not sure, thought of being ridiculed for asking a question and proving myself stupid all came back to me. I tried to analyse the situation on what is going wrong and why am I finding it difficult to learn with ease. Was I not paying enough attention? Was I not gaining interest? NO, the problem is that I am not understanding completely what I am learning. But who is responsible for it? Is it Me or my Faculty? I might sound biased but it is surely my faculty and I have a strong reason to say so 1) The faculty is moving at a pace to finish the course in time and not to ensure that all the students learn 2) Asking questions / doubts seems to be banned - cause when you do your faculty goes on a different trip and starts blaming everybody around. After this experience, I have totally realised that it is so important to have good teachers who teach you for understanding. I would like to thank all those teachers who have helped me understand and would like to gift a book on How to teach effectively to my French teacher (I might actually do that at the end of the course). But there is a silver lining in this too, I have started believing in EI's vision of Learning with Understanding :)
