Learning A New Language
Learning a new language can be difficult
Learning a new language can be difficult. However, there are several things you can do to improve how fast you learn the new language.
The first thing you will want to learn is to set realistic expectations for yourself. When you are learning, you will make mistakes.
Do not get hung up on these mistakes, but move forward and keep learning. Understand that everyone in your class is going to make mistakes and that you will not always understand your instructor perfectly and neither will anyone else.
By working together, you will be able to develop skills to become comfortable in the classroom situation and you will begin to be able to fully understand your instructor. You must practice a lot to become a master of a language or even to simply understand it.
Even though you must practice a lot to understand the language, after a while of studying all of the words and phrases can begin mixing together. When this happens you will need to take a break to make your study time more effective.
Try studying in shorter time periods rather than big chunks. The more you review certain words the easier it will be to understand them.
However, you should practice every day several times a day if you want to pick up the language fairly quickly. It can be helpful to do the homework exercises every day during a week rather than only the night before it is due.
This will help you reinforce what you learn so that you will remember it. There are many times when you are doing other meaningless and mindless tasks during which you could practice your new language.
For example, you could name each dish as you are doing dishes. You could run through your flashcards while you are waiting for the bus.
Maybe you have a friend that you walk to school with who speaks the language fluently and with whom you can practice. Even these small moments of practice can help tremendously overtime.
The quicker you can expand your basic vocabulary, the sooner you will be able to communicate, even if it is in broken segments. The best way to learn vocabulary is to use flashcards.
Once you make these flashcards, carry them everywhere with you in case you have extra time. When you learn about verbs and other connecting phrases you can also learn these through flashcards.
If you are learning a language which is gender specific, you may want to color code the cards to help you remember which word is for which gender.
When you can, try to say the word out loud so that your tongue can get used to saying what your mind is being taught to remember. By speaking with someone who knows that language, you will be able to practice what you know and he or she will be able to correct you when you use a word improperly.
Speaking a language is something that is completely different from reading or writing a language. The more you practice the easier it will be to converse.
When times get busy it can be easy to do homework half heartedly and to simply get it done instead of actually learning from it. Doing the homework will not help you at all, if you do not learn anything from it.
The homework allows you an opportunity to look things up and correct yourself whereas other practice activities do not. Take advantage of this opportunity and you will be able to learn much faster.
Over time, things will become more or less automatic and you will be able to simply do it without looking things up. Another great way to study is with others who are also learning the language.
You will be able to correctly each other, make mistakes together, and learn together. By working together on the homework and other projects you will be able to produce higher quality products in a shorter amount of time.
You will also have a chance to learn what they know while they will learn what you know. While there are many different ways to learn, you will have to discover which method of learning is the most effectively for you.
Do not compare yourself to others as everyone learns at a different pace and you will only get discouraged if get into the habit of comparing. There will always be someone faster, stronger, or smarter than you.
You may have a talent at picking up the grammar, but simply struggle with vocab. Others may excel at picking up vocabulary but will struggle to understand grammar.
