August 3rd, 2010 by admin

Planning to learn a new language? Here are some tips on how to learn a new language:1) Move while listening to audio coursesWhen you’re listening to an audio language course or radio show, move and walk. You will be surprised to see that you improve your performance. When walking, more blood is pumped to your brain. Learn to combine the pleasure of a walk and that of learning a new language. 2) Avoid group classes To begin learning a language, avoid group classes. You will lose your time, and unless you have an already advanced, you’ll only learn from others’ mistakes and waste your time every time someone else crashes. An hour of learning at home is much better than two hours of group classes where you will the opportunity to say one or two sentences. 3) Say it out loud Say a word or phrase aloud 10-20 times is much better as learning technique than merely reading this sentence a hundred times. 4) Vary teaching methods If you see a word or phrase in your grammar book fifty times, you will not remember this word as well as if you see it in different contexts, for example in a magazine or newspaper or hearing it in a radio or in a movie. Seeing a word in different contexts and in different environments will help retain even more quickly. For this you need to use multiple media to learn a new language.

Good luck on your quest to learn a language! It’s not easy, but if you stay motivated and practice a lot, you’ll get there in no time.
