A loving and supportive environment keeps children safe. They can discover the world around them and explore the mysteries of a new language without fear of being judged. On the contrary, every attempt is met with enthusiasm and encouragement, which inspires them to keep going.
Children overcome many obstacles on their journey to mastering their first language. They begin by learning to grasp the meaning of sounds (the words) and eventually understanding grammar. Next, they practice making different sounds and combining them into words. Throughout this whole process, they constantly try to communicate with those around them in ways that help others understand their needs.
But this incredible task would be much harder to accomplish without the genuine love and support of their parents. During the difficult process of learning how to speak, children make a lot of mistakes, but their parents encourage them on. Just like when they learned how to walk, they fall a hundred times, but always get back up. Their parents cheer them on and support them with every step. They approach a new language in the same way - they keep trying until they finally learn it.
The world of adults can feel quite different—more rational, competitive, and critical. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Deep down, there’s still a little child within us who's playful, curious, kind, and eager to explore the world with an open mind. From our experience of running an experimental language school Stories, we discovered that when adults take a step back from their expectations and allow themselves to enjoy the learning process, they learn very quickly. And when they truly fall in love with a language, they learn even faster.
Unfortunately, the learning habits we adopted during our time at school are quite the opposite. We find ourselves constantly watching our words to ensure we speak perfectly and critiquing or evaluating ourselves at every turn. What should be a carefree and joyful journey of discovery can become overshadowed by competition, judgment, and negative self-assessment—elements that don’t truly belong in the learning process.
That’s why at Mooveez, we emphasize the importance of speaking often and exploring your desired new language to the fullest. The truth is, you’ll only learn to speak by actually speaking. With us, you can do this in a peaceful, joyful environment that feels safe and supportive. You have the freedom to adjust the strictness of the voice recognition feature to your liking, allowing you to speak out loud in private without any fear of judgment.
Gradually, you’ll notice your confidence blossoming, your pronunciation sharpening, and your ability to quickly respond increasing. This journey takes time, so it’s essential to be patient and kind to yourself along the way. As you continue, your natural ability to learn will start to reawaken, because we all have the capacity to speak any language. We’ve already proven this by learning our native language.
