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.

Poetry from Amirova Niginabonu

Amirova Niginabonu
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.

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.

Essay from Adhamova Laylo Akmaljon qizi 

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…

Puzzle

I miss someone. I want to do something. Maybe I want to live another life. Maybe I want to be in another era. I must be going to a beautiful country. Maybe I want to work in the field I like. I imagine that I will have a husband, children and a happy life like in the brochure. Maybe I want to see some of the celebrities I want to see. However, I am unable to do any of these things now. I feel so weak and helpless that I cannot describe it in words. I can't even understand who the person I miss is. Maybe my heart understands and my mind is denying. Maybe I'm caught between two rocks. I do not know... Sometimes I like it and sometimes it breaks my heart that my life is full of such puzzles. For some reason, I only write this line when I'm in a pinch. I don't know if it's because people don't get inspired when they're happy, or because when they're happy, they forgot the pain of other times. I didn't even know if it was just me. But the best things is to believe that everything will be fine. As we believed it would be good two years ago and three years ago...

 
Indescribable pain

Sometimes a person doesn't understand himself. For example, this happens to me a lot. You want to pour out your heart to someone, but you can't find the words to say, only the right words. But you're full of pain, pain... You think how to get rid of it, but you can't find a way. You want to cry, it's hard in your throat something is stuck. Wait for tears to flow from your eyes. But unfortunately, you will not shed tears. You will suffer a lot. Right now you are looking for a close friend - a confidant. Unfortunately, everyone is busy with their own pain; and they take your words superficially. They even forget after a few minutes. Because when someone tells you about the pain of a date, your heart won't break. Unfortunately, in a few minutes, you will forget the pain that overturned his whole world. Of course, pain and feelings are not interesting and important to anyone. You realize that you don't understand and put your head on the pillow with pain. Your soft pillow seems to harden with the pain. You get up and open your phone. You try not to get distracted. Unfortunately, none of this helps...
Basically, these pains accumulate during the day and give you excruciating pain in the evening. Sometimes these pains accumulate for years. At worst, I don't feel or understand what is causing this pain. Your conscience, your heart knows, but the date cannot be expressed in words.
But don't be afraid! It doesn't hurt every day. Some are every two days, some are once a week, some are once a month, and some are even once a year. That's when you fall asleep. When you wake up in the morning, you will find that everything is fine and everything is better...

Essay from Parivash Sobirova

               Book crazy

      Bonu is seven years old. She learned to read when she was five and she is fond of books. Bonu always dreams about opening a book shop and having a lot of books in the future.
    When Bonu went to the library with me she was very happy. Every book in the bookcase attracted her. Bonu  gazed at the librarian a few times. A librarian had been servicing the booklovers politely. I chose some books and I brought them to the librarian. I said to the librarian:
    - Hello!
    -Hi! Welcome!
   - Could I borrow these books for reading?
   - Of course. Could you tell me your full name, please.
   - Yes...
Bonu was looking at us with surprise during our conversation. 
    After I had borrowed books Bonu and I walked outside. Suddenly, Bonu said me:
     - Why you did not pay for the books?
    - Which books? - said I.
    - The books that you got from this book shop.
I realized the cause of Bonu's astonishment. Bonu thought the library was like a book shop. I explained to Bonu:
    - My little booklover sister, it's not a bookshop. This place is the library. The library has some rules: if you are member of the library, you can borrow the books you want in your free time. For borrowing books in the library you don't pay any money. Understand? 
    - Yes, of course! It's very nice! Can I be a member of the library?
    - Yes, certainly...
I helped Bonu become a member of the library.
      When Bonu disappears, we look for her in the library.  Bonu  will open a library in the future. She is really 'book crazy'!
