We can't learn a foreign language just by learning words and grammar rules because verbal elements depend on nonverbal elements, values, concepts, and habits of comperehension and communication. These are formed at an early age during the socialization process, and in the course of time we grow up as individual belonging to our own culture. It is exactly these habits which can prevent us from learning another foreign language. Before forming new habits relating to a foreign language, we should be aware of our own habits about comprehension, feelings, thought and communication concerning our own culture, which are very important for teachers and learners. These habits cause misunderstanding, break down of communication, and learning difficulties.
