EXPERIENCES OF TRUE LEARNING

1. Sylvia's experiences when learning English:

In her video she mentioned that it was a difficult experience when learning English yet she was used to speaking French.

She put it that it was her personal initiative to learn by her self.

Even though her Profs. taught her, they could not trigger off the zeal in her to learn, but it was her personal initiative.

When learning, people face different difficulties, for example she was laughed at when she made blander in her speech but she played it cool and laughed back because she knew what she wanted to achieve.
2.My experiences of true leaning

I teach Geography and History. I found hardship in drawing the geographical diagrams and maps. Each time i drew a map, teachers used to comment that i had drawn a jerry-can! yet i had tried my best.

At a higher level, i was introduced to the GIS technology in geography. Here the story was a little bit different but still difficult; Prof. used to teach us how to create a data base and then create shape files for maps: The challenge was that after creating one shape file, i could not recall where exactly it had gone for future reference about it.

Our instructors encouraged us to discover every thing by our own-it was too disturbing but i mobilized my fellow students who were better than me and we tried it out. we succeeded at the end.

3. It feels good when you can do what previously disturbed you. And you can not just laugh at some one who has failed because you already know his hardship.
