Fastest Way To Achieve Fluency In A Foreign Language

It is no doubt that the fastest way to become fluent in a foreign language is to

enroll in an intensive language course, which involves six to eight hours of study every day for several weeks. The advantage of this method is that it creates a snowball effect in which each day's learning builds on the previous day's with very little loss of impetus.

There are excellent languages schools all over Europe, Asia, Africa and South America which cater to foreigners with a variety of budgets and time-frames and these can be a rapid and effective way of learning a language. Most of them involve targeted study on accent, grammar, speaking and writing, and offer regular courses at a variety of levels which means that if you only have your vacation to study in, you can enroll for one segment and come back at another time to continue your study at a more advanced level. Many of them can help you find local families to live with, which are both cheaper than other types of accommodation, and offers the advantage of people to speak with in the evenings and at weekends.

For the more adventurous, or more experienced learner, another alternative is to set up your own intensive language course overseas using a local language teacher and conversation partner. If you know people living overseas you may be able to ask them to help you find a local teacher who would like some extra income. Especially in Africa and Asia this can be fairly easy to do if you are willing to live quite simply. [Note: life and travel are quite expensive in most of Africa] This method works quite well as long as you have prepared some materials in advance and know something of how you plan to go about your learning, but it requires discipline, and you need to make sure that your teacher understands that you want to be corrected and learn to speak well.

Just 'hanging out' with people who speak your target language is more of an exercise in non-verbal communication than a road to fluency. It is fairly easy to communicate well enough to get by, and to spend time with people in bars, but without a solid grasp of the underlying structure of the language you will not get very far.

It takes a certain number of hours of active study and use to become fluent in a foreign language and an intensive course can cram these hours into a short period of weeks or months. If you can manage to arrange this, it is a very worthwhile experience.

If you follow the above instructions when learning a new language, I think it will make your studying easier and more efficiently.
