Sometimes when we are in trouble, when our pain is crushing our heart, we want to feel relieved by telling someone about it.
Because a human being is born with feelings of anxiety, fear, and sadness in his heart. But we do not think that the people who are listening to us have bigger problems than yours, that is, your speech is almost not interesting to them.
Most of them don’t want to hear you, but most of them are happy that you are a pain. It’s a bitter truth.
Let’s not tell our pain to those who suffer like us, but to Allah, the Healer of all hearts. After all, He sent these pains so that my servant would come closer to me, so that he could be relieved by telling me his pain, so what are we going to do by knocking on the wrong doors?
As long as we say yes, it is not necessary to stand in queues for the reception of our Doctor, if we raise our hands together to the sky, He will hear us and answer us…
Life is more precious than we think. The events and events we see affect us in different ways. During our life, we face a lot of obstacles and depressions, we lose our loved ones. As a person grows up, his experience increases. He begins to see the worries of life. Now when I was just two steps into school, I started having dreams, and as the years went by, my dreams grew bigger and bigger instead of coming true. Then I thought, is it possible to make a personʼs dream come true with only good intentions? However, I dreamed, but I did not work accordingly, and I turned 14 in the blink of an eye. Then I realized that the more effort a person makes, the more results they get, and I started to work. I learned to set a goal, not a dream . Of course, my teachers at school were the reason for this, and I became very interested in mathematics, and I worked on planning my future. I think that the opinions of people around us should be unimportant to us, because they are only distractions. We should live only with motivation. We should not ignore things that inspire us. If we are afraid to do it, then we should definitely try it. Of course, inattentiveness does not mean not listening to anyone’s opinions, but realizing whose opinions are important and who cares about us. The more knowledge we gain, the more we will achieve our goals. We must follow the path taught by our teachers and parents, only then will our destination be clear.

Master
The teacher is said to be greater than the father.
So dear to me,
To describe them, I can't find words.
My teachers are different.
No wealth in his hands, but love in his heart
Magic in the word he gives us,
I can't find a single bit of anger from myself,
My teachers have a different opinion.
Those who put their profession above everything else,
Those who joke when we hurt their hearts,
Those who love like a child,
My teacher's language is different.
My future is his perfection,
Read that you are my beauty,
Every year there are many new sprouts,
My teachers work differently.
He says that you are the seed that I planted,
He says that you should not be tired after reading,
He just says don't be left behind.
The word "my teachers" is different.
It is a mistake to say that a teacher is not a gardener.
It is a mistake to say that you don't hate your teacher.
Teachers look at the crown on your head,
As you know, the teacher is different in the world.
Parents are great
Parents are great,
Take your advice.
No matter what he says, from the bottom of your heart,
Listen to his words.
Where you serve,
Don't give up.
Any order,
Do as much as possible.
Face to face
Make it a habit to work.
Your existence in this world
Consider yourself lucky.
If you go on a trip,
Please pray for them.
Be such a child that
May you have a good name.
Annotation: This article discusses difficulties in learning foreign languages and solutions to avoid this problems.
Key words: learning process, problem, grammatical difficulties, teaching, learning, foreign language.
Today, it is very important for everyone to know foreign languages. The world is becoming more and more globalized, and knowing two or more languages is not just a hobby, but a need of the hour. Of course, everyone wants to achieve a certain goal by doing something. Along with this, new language learners who start learning English, French, German or any other Eastern languages aim to achieve a certain goal and result by learning these languages. Unfortunately, some language learners make mistakes at this step and face a number of difficulties later in the language learning process.
However, learning foreign languages is a more responsible and complex process. Difficulties in learning foreign languages are observed not only in young children and schoolchildren, but also in older learners and university students. It is known that English and Uzbek languages belong to different families, and language learners face phonetic, lexical and grammatical difficulties. Including:
- Almost all students have difficulty learning the sounds [th] and [ð]. The reason for this is the lack of interdental sounds in the Uzbek language. Our language has not developed the skills to pronounce these sounds.
- Since the English pronunciation of the sound [r] is different from the Uzbek r, students also have difficulty in pronouncing this sound.
- The pronunciation of the sounds [t, d] is also not the same in both languages. Therefore, their pronunciation is difficult for some young people.
- [w] sound does not exist in Uzbek either. They also have some difficulty in pronouncing this sound correctly. When pronouncing it, they confuse it with [v] in Uzbek language.
In order to teach the correct pronunciation of the above-mentioned sounds, the teacher should clearly explain to the children the location of the tongue as much as possible, check it regularly through repetition exercises, and pay special attention to the students' pronunciation in each lesson. difficulties in sounds are also eliminated.
It also creates phonetic difficulties in the following cases:
- the letter e is not pronounced at the end of the word — apple, Pete;
- the letter combination gh cannot be read in the middle of a word — eight, night;
- the letter k is not pronounced before n at the beginning of the word — knock, knee and a number of other difficulties can be observed.
The difficulty characteristic of the majority of Uzbek students is that they add the sound [Ə] before the suffixes in their pronunciation when adding plural or tense adverbs: books [bu'kƏs], happened [hæpƏ 'nĀd]. Apparently, by adding such an unnecessary sound, they are also changing the position of the word stress. Not being able to read the transcription is a particular problem. It is necessary to teach the correct pronunciation of words and symbols representing sounds.
When it comes to grammatical difficulties in teaching English, it is safe to say that many difficulties can be encountered. If a person knows all the words in the language, but does not know the connections between sentences and words, he will have difficulty understanding the content of the speech. That's why learning grammar is so important. If he does not have good grammar skills, he will not be able to express his opinion properly. Difficulty in speaking, writing and translating.
-Article problem. This is arguably the biggest challenge in learning grammar. When we talk to many English language learners, almost all of them say that the most difficult part of learning English grammar is the articles and tenses. In fact, since the Uzbek language does not have an article word group, it is difficult to use and translate it.
Article rules should be memorized. However, the many exceptions to the rules make learning difficult for learners. If the translation is taught more precisely, they will not have much difficulty in using the article. For example, it is possible to teach that the indefinite article is translated as one, some kind of one, and the definite article is translated as that, yet.
-Another difficulty in mastering English grammar is prepositions. In the Uzbek language, prepositions are expressed by agreement suffixes. In English, conjugations are expressed through prepositions. For example, the place-time agreement in Uzbek can be expressed in English with the prepositions in, on, at. For example:
in - in January, in 2015, in a week
on - on Monday, on January 15, on birthday
at - at the weekend, at 10 o'clock
As for the lexical difficulties in teaching English, they are as follows:
-Almost all words in the English language have different meanings. That is, one word means more than one. According to M. Norova, one word in English has a maximum of 23 meanings.
-The fact that a certain part of the vocabulary of the English language came from other languages;
-The wealth of idioms of the English language and several others.
In addition, students do not and cannot always follow the rules learned in the training. After the lessons, they do not try to learn new words by practicing pronunciation and writing essays. It is no secret that one of the biggest disadvantages is that when mistakes are corrected, students often think, "This is not my language." This has a negative impact on learning a foreign language.
Excessive use of the mother tongue in the audience:
Learners learn another language best when they are forced to use it. The teacher should require students to communicate in the language being studied. Only in this case, the level of achievement in language learning and fluency in pronunciation will increase. Learning a foreign language will be successful only if it is strictly required and restrictions are imposed during the lesson.
Dependence of students on the teacher:
Independent work on oneself, independent problem solving and research serve to master any subject well. The fact that the student turns to the teacher for every small problem indicates his dependence. This reduces the student's ability to work on himself.
A number of ways can be listed as a solution. The problem is that independently watching foreign language films and videos adapted to language teaching serves as a bridge, at least partially.
In conclusion, as every job has its own difficulties and hardships, there are many problems in learning foreign languages, but there are ways to overcome them. All this is done through the curiosity of the learners and their serious approach to the work they have started, and their further research.

Achievements and challenges of online learning in teaching foreign languages
Qurbanova Marjona
Department of Applied Disciplines
Abstract: This article discusses the importance of online learning in foreign language teaching. Nowadays some people in all countries prefer to learn something online in a position of staying at home and on the time they want. Online learning is creating a number of facilities if its drawbacks are not regarded. Now we shall see its advantages and disadvantages together.
Key words: online education, information, university, course, Internet, student, lecture, technology, screen, foreign language.
Education plays the most important role in the life of people. A big piece of new and necessary information appears every minute. Nowadays online study or learning turns out to be more and more practiced. Many universities started to share their courses online. So, what is online education?
Online education is the form of education that takes place over Internet. It is called as ‘e-learning’ or ‘online learning. Students attend online lectures with the help of computer or a smart phone. Although online education has become popular nowadays, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages
Online learning is convenient. These is obviously the greatest benefit of online learning; as long as you own a computer and have an internet connection, it does not matter in which part of the world you are. Learners can access information from anywhere, anytime.
It is flexible. Learning becomes easier when aligned with one’s learning needs and preferences. Online learning allows learners to study at their own pace, whether they are students, busy adults, or employees.
Online learning is cost effective. The cost effectiveness of online learning is quite impressive; no more travel and accommodation expenses, reusable online content. It can be tailored to different needs. Different people learn in different ways, and online learning does everything in its power to ensure that all learning needs are met. Looking for economically viable options online learning for students is the best way;
It is immediate. Not only learners are able to begin their online learning immediately, but they are also able to see immediate results; whether self-paced or instructor-led.
It is unrestricted. With online learning location is no longer a barrier; neither are culture and nationality.
In addition to studying, you can also work. In fact the majority of applicants who choose distance learning drop out they don’t want to give up, but they want to learn. In online learning you can study on weekends, when you return from work, even at night;
It saves your time! Students in online programs can effectively manage their time, learn the materials, and complete assignments on their own schedules to name just a few benefits of online learning. Transportation to and from training centers you can save the time you spend waiting. In online learning if you want you will receive information on the spot;
If you consider yourself aspiring, distance education is the greatest way for you. The advantage is that some classes are held in groups. There are some students in the group the faster some understand slowly. In this regard, distance learning is a method more efficient.
Disadvantages
It may be a “solo” act. It is true that, although online learning might be convenient and flexible, it is also a solo act... Some people absolutely need personal contact with their educators or trainers in order to learn successfully. It is difficult to have group discussions in online education. Student-teacher interaction is also limited. The probability of being distracted is high. In face-to-face communication there are no classmates who are constantly reminded of upcoming assignments. If you want to successfully complete a distance learning course, find yourself you need to be diligent and careful;
It may be impersonal. No matter how we try to fully transfer human communication platforms, no matter how natural it seems to form relationships behind computer screens; a virtual environment is just not human.
Nothing can replace human contact. Too much time spent in front of a computer screen may be harmful. Being constantly online is the new reality, but the truth is that using a computer or a tablet all the time can cause poor vision, strain injuries, and other physical problems.
It requires self–discipline. If your e-learning audience lacks self – discipline, it is unlikely that they will be motivated to self study. Traditional learning and training have the benefit of easily tracking both progress and falling behind, this works for many learners as well, as some people prefer their progress to be closely monitored in order to perform.
Technology Issues – Many students face technical issues like slow internet connectivity. This hampers the learning experience. The biggest enemy of online learning is the internet's slow performance of providers or disconnection. In this case, the applicant the desire to learn leads to exhaustion or nervousness.
Cheating – Students can cheat easily if exams are conducted online. They can copy the answers as they give the exams from their own house.
Inability to focus – Many students find it difficult to focus on screen for long period of time. Students get distracted easily towards social media or other sites too.
Possible lack of control: No matter how carefully you design e-learning course, there is no guarantee that your massage will get across. There is always the risk of your learners just going through the material without paying any attention. It is difficult to measure program results. Question remains: are students learning what instructor is saying that they should be learning? Students must be self-motivated and disciplined to progress through his or her program in a timely manner.
In conclusion, the facts are that there are advantages, and disadvantages to every type of learning environment. Students have to analyze both the pros and cons, factors which contribute greatly to making an informed decision, about the direction of his or her career path. Students have to decide, how they are going to accomplish their goals: online, in the classroom or a combination of both. Today’s online learning is better than yesterday’s; and online learning of tomorrow will be better than today’s.
