Self-analysis

The first piece of advice I’d give is to do it yourself, i.e. to put yourself in the situation of learning a language on your own seems to me to be a good way forward, because of course, provided that afterwards you take a step back and ask yourself how it happened and why it happened the way it did, but doing it yourself is already, I think, a good way forward. That’s the first thing. The second suggestion I’d make for training is to listen to yourself. It’s true that when I’ve listened to myself giving advice to teenagers or young adults, you realise that sometimes there are inconsistencies or that you’re unable to seize the right moment. That’s when you should have intervened, that’s when there was a representation that could have been worked on and then you let it go. So listen to it yourself, and then listen to it with others, with other advisers.
