5 MOST COMMON REASONS WE START LEARNING

LANGUAGES (AND HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THEM)

SO IF YOU DO THE MATH…

THIS IS WHERE KNOWING YOUR GOALS AND MOTIVES

COMES IN HANDY.

SHARE YOUR GOALS WITH YOUR INSTRUCTOR (THEY WILL

APPRECIATE YOUR INITIATIVE).

PRESSURE TO UNDERSTAND AND BE UNDERSTOOD IS A

GREAT MOTIVATER.

SKIP THE MENTAL STEP OF TRANSLATING TO AND FROM

YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE.

THIS WAY YOU BUILD FLUENCY RATHER THAN TRANSLATION ABILITY.

‘INTUITION’ IS THE ‘FEELING’ THAT SOMETHING IS RIGHT OR

NOT. ‘INPUT’ IS ANYTHING YOU READ OR HEAR.

STUDYING AT INTERVALS IS MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THAN

STUDYING A TON AT ONCE.

THIS IS YOUR FIRST DEFENSE AGAINST FORGETTING WHAT

YOU ARE LEARNING

BASICALLY, SKIP THE FLASHCARDS AND READ,

WATCH, AND LISTEN…A LOT!

FREQUENT REVIEW OF WHAT YOU ARE LEARNING IS SUPER

HELPFUL FOR PROGRESS.

LEVERAGE YOUR TECHNOLOGY ADDICTION TO BENEFIT YOUR

LANGUAGE LEARNING EFFORTS!

THIS IS PERMISSION TO SAY YES TO GUILTY PLEASURES.

POP-CULTURE: THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OF LEARNING MATERIALS

REPETITION IS KEY. THE MORE YOU SEE THE WORDS, THE

FASTER YOU’LL LEARN THEM.

PICK UP NEW WORDS AND CORRECT PRONUNCIATION

WHILE YOU LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CULTURE.

SERIES ARE ESPECIALLY GOOD BECAUSE YOU CAN WATCH AND

RE-WATCH SHORT SEGMENTS. AND THEY’RE ADDICTING.

GO AT YOUR OWN PACE, NO AUDIENCE, AND LOTS OF

OPPORTUNITY FOR REPETITION

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE HOW

FAST YOU ADD NEW WORDS TO YOUR USABLE VOCABULARY!

OFFLINE IS BEST, BUT ONLINE IS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE.
