Read: Children of God

When listening, you could try to identify vocabulary and patterns that you have recently learned. This will help accelerate your learning.

You are a child of God with divine potential. You can become like Him (Romans 8:16-17). He knows everything (2 Nephi 9:20; Moroni 7), and He can help you learn anything. You must be willing to work hard. He has all power (Mosiah 4:9). He can help you accomplish your language learning goals.

You are a child of an omniscient Father. By learning good things, you become more like Him. He is pleased with all your efforts. You can learn and grow (Moses 1:39). He has blessed each of us with different talents and abilities. Some things will be easier for others than for you but you can accomplish your righteous desires with His help (Moroni 10:8-19, 30). Your progress is not dependent on any other person.

Jesus Christ is loving and merciful. You have access to His grace all along the way. You can ask God for help. He will help you with anything. (3 Nephi 14:7-11; Alma 34:17-27). You should ask for and seek the gift of tongues. Preach My Gospel teaches: “Gifts of the Spirit are real. The gift of tongues and the gift of the interpretation of tongues can help you as much or more than any other single thing to speak and understand the language” (p. 139). Don’t become discouraged. Act in faith and turn to Him. He will invite you. Take His yoke upon you. You can “find rest unto your [soul]” (Matthew 11:28-30).
