Learning from mistakes

¡Hola a todos! (hello everyone!)

I will take the chance to talk about LEARNING FROM MISTAKES.
There is a tendency in youngters and grown ups in my country - Argentina- to be a bit afraid of talking, trying, taking risks, participating when in language classes, probably because of a long tradition of being either "punished" or negatively criticized for making mistakes.
But the bottom line is that if learners don't try, take risks, experiment, work the language out, practice, produce in class first and out of class next, it will probably take them longer and it will be harder for them to suceed in learning.
So, once again, the piece of advice, for any language course attendee: do not worry about making mistakes, do worry about not learning from them
¡Éxitos! (Wish you success!)
Cariños (kind regards)
