If you are like most people, you may feel a level of anxiety when it comes to dealing with the unknown. Monolingual individuals may have a lower tolerance for the unknown than those who are bilingual. One of the benefits of learning a new language is that you may start to see unfamiliar situations as exciting instead of scary.
When learning, you have to be more open to ambiguity. After all, there may be points in a conversation with a native speaker where you aren’t sure what a word or phrase means. You have to be willing to stop the conversation from saying you don’t know what was said. For those who do not have tolerance towards the unknown, this can be uncomfortable. Those who have a higher tolerance may be more entrepreneurial and social.
The word ‘motivation’ itself comes from the word ‘motive’. Motive essentially means the needs and desires of a person. The motivation is a deciding factor in their efficiency and the performance for himself and a whole.
