Step 27: Be Willing to Ask Questions
"How do I say ________?" is the most useful phrase in a language learner's
vocabulary. It is important to trust one's ability to find a way to work things out.
But the quality of being curious and willing to ask questions is also necessary in
ensuring achieving success. There is no shame in asking for help when one
cannot understand something. One must accept that they cannot know
everything. And not knowing just means that they now have the opportunity to
learn and grow. Having a childlike curiosity and willingness to learn speeds up
the learning process tenfold.
It also encourages the learner to feel involved. By asking questions and staying
hungry for knowledge, a learner can expect to find profound insight. They also
gain a new perspective that they never would have had they not just inquired
about their curiosities. Questions give the learner an opportunity to appreciate
something new and open their minds. Questions allow an individual to escape
the confines of what they think they know, and lead them to become enlightened.
