Jonathan \u201cJony Wilkinson\u201d, the English rugby national team captain who drove his teams to victory in the 2003 and 2007 Rugby World Cup finals, shared some tips for learning a new language with Lauren Ward, a journalist at The Cambridge University Press. His own experience comes from transferring to Toulon in 2009, where he started learning French.<\/p>\n

He says that his motivation for learning a new language was that \u201cnot knowing a language is an enormous limitation when expressing and sharing experiences\u201d. He suggests to \u201cget in amongst it and throw your best efforts\u201d if you want to do the same. \u201cFor me, learning is not about remembering but about investing, experiencing and committing way beyond any type of fear or making mistakes. Keep hold of your excitement and passion. Don\u2019t make it about right and wrong. It\u2019s your energy and internal state that will create momentum\u201d, he adds.<\/p>\n
