Top 10 Ways to Learn a Language
Top 10 Tricks to Learn Language |
1. Your
reason to learn better be good!
Why learn a language? Have a reason? You better have one and
a very good one that you can commit to! This might sound obvious, but if you
don’t have a good reason to learn a foreign language, you are less likely to stay
motivated for long.
2. Double up the Fun!
Healthy competition is good for your learning. Yes! find yourself a partner to join you in
the language learning adventure. So that
when you feel de-motivated, your ‘friendly competition’ rekindles your enthusiasm
and vice versa!
3. Talk to Yourself.
Sounds weird? But it’s not!
Help yourself master the target language.
“speaking to oneself in a language is a great way to
practice if you’re not able to use it all the time.” This technique will help
keep words and phrases fresh in your mind and build up your confidence for the
next time you speak with someone.
4. Your goal
is to Converse in the target language.
Remember,
make conversation your goal from the very beginning. This way you will be less
likely to get lost in the textbooks and speak to people. This process will keep
the learning relevant.
5. Have fun
learning.
Get creative
while you are learning one target language. Figure out some fun and interesting
ways to practice your new language. A play with a friend or a poem, or simply
talk to whomever you can. If you are not having fun learning, then remember,
your ultimate goal is to make conversations.
6. “Stay
Foolish, Stay Hungry”!
This magical
four word phrase is your ultimate friend! Be curious and try to learn. We learn
by making mistakes. If you believe you
are some “Know it all” it won’t help. While learning a language, admitting that
you don’t know everything, is essential for growth and freedom.
7. Get out
of your Comfort Zone.
Willingness
to make mistakes and being ready to put oneself in embarrassing situations
might sound strange but is the only way to grow, develop and improve. No matter
how much you learn, you won’t ever be able to speak a language without putting
yourself out there and get the feel of it.
8. Listen!
Listening is a lost art. Revive the art in
yourself and speed up your learning process. So, listen before you can speak.
Every language has a peculiar sound the first time you hear it. But trust us, the
more you expose yourself to the sounds, the more familiar it becomes and the
easier it is for you to speak the language fluently.
9. Watch and
Mark
Pronunciation
is just as much physical as it is mental cuz different languages make different
demands on your tongue, lips and throat. So it’ll be really useful if you watch
and mark the native speakers speak and converse and then try to imitate the sound
as much as possible. A good substitute can be watching movies and songs.
10. Get
drenched in the culture!
So you’ve
made the pledge to learn a language. Irrespective to what learning tools you
incorporate, it’s crucial to practice the new language every single day. Get
yourself immersed in the culture right from the start! As the learning
progresses try to think in it, write in it, speak in it. Surrounding and submerging
yourself in the new language culture is extremely important to be competent in
any language.
Never
forget, the best possible outcome of speaking a new language is when people
speak back to you!
