Speaking

You can’t even begin to learn a new language without practicing it yourself and speaking. It may start off with you learning the alphabet or simple words, but over time you can string simple sentences together and start forming a real taste of the language. A great way to practice would be to have a conversation with a friend or even Skype someone who lives over in the other country. You will soon learn the regional dialects and be able to understand what the other person was saying.

Listening

Listening is the opposite of speaking, and it is a way of learning a new language in a more passive form. You can listen to audio tapes which teach you new words, you can watch a film with subtitles, and you can even put on a tape as you sleep at night. Listening aids your information retention and will allow you to store this information for much longer.

Reading

Reading blogs on a site like EffortlessEnglishClub.com can give you some pointers on learning a language, and you can certainly gain a lot of retention by seeing the word in front of your eyes. Reading can be a little difficult if you decide on reading a foreign language novel, but it can give you a greater understanding of how words fit together in a sentence and how people speak to each other on a day to day basis.

Writing

One of the best ways to remember words is to write them down. Writing is a great method for retaining information and will allow you to learn the spellings of words as well as any punctuation which is used in a foreign language. You will gain a good insight into the way these words are formed and it will allow you to make your own predictions about similar words. If you want a creative way to practice your writing you can write a journal entry in a foreign language every day and they read over it.

Pronunciation

One of the difficult things we find with foreign languages is the way that they pronounce certain words. It can be a little bit confusing to learn how other countries pronounce words and this will be your biggest challenge. The key here is to listen to plenty of movies and audio books and then practice the same words yourself. It might take a while to get used to but eventually, you’ll be a natural.

 

Learning a language will be a long process, but it is worth every minute you spend practicing the words and phrase. Why not try and learn?
