Topic: If you are learning a new language, post your tips on how you are learning it? (Read 2190 times)

IMO the most effective way to learn languages is to a loooot of practice! But I know that it is not always possible. So you have to download a special app and do tasks every day! Every day, really! Also it is good to read different articles. It is okay if the theme of it is not familiar to you - you should teach your brain how to find a sense in different texts. So read about welding, chemistry, hunting, flowers... read about anything. Then write down the main sense of that article. Another tip is to find a singer/music band which uses the language that you want to learn. Try to translate their songs by yourself, get use to their singing. And the main tip is a regularity and motivation. You have to have several reasons of learning language to contunie doing it. And use forums to communicate - leave a suitable comms.

Maybe this tips would be useful for other readers, I'd be very happy then

I suggest you learn one language at time or else you can get cofused and mess up words or even the grammar can get mixed up and once you learn it that way it will be harder to lerearn it the correct way. I was the same with deutch , the teacher messed told us a grammar rule wrong and when i went to University i had to lereant the whole grammar again

Finland is one good to learn. "Suomi", "Perisuomalainen" Food example, Kalakukko (Savo area), Finlandia Vodka, Fazerin sininen, Perunapiirakka, Poron käristys, Mämmi is (season food it looks like shit, but taste good), metsästäjän leike, wiener leike

If you have own Airplane, i recommend to visit Lappi, Kuusankoski, Lappeenranta, Oulu, Turku, Tampere (Kids like they have theme park there) Helsinki Vantaa (New Land and East New Land area = Uusimaa ja Itäinen Uusimaa) Oulu is one growing City. Northern Finland have "Saamelaiset" "Sami"

Helsinki you can see "Modern art" Kiasma. I live on main City area.

I'm currently trying to learn Italian via YouTube 

When learning a new language I recommend full immersion.
It's best to speak the new language around native speakers and force yourself to communicate with them even if your vocabulary is limited.
I also think daily practice is absolutely essential. Duolingo or Babbel are great apps to practice on-the-go. 

I’m getting pretty far into French and lately I’ve just been listening to a lot of native material. For instance, Ted talks, or podcasts: Intermediate French Podcast, which is for learners. I watch some videos on the Easy French YouTube channel here and there. And I watch this show on Netflix called Dix PourCent. I put my weekly schedule in a productivity planner. I don't always follow it exactly the same way every week, but some things are constant (flashcards, lessons, pronunciation & listening practice).

Learning at least 1 word per day , from the meaning and how to use the word, in 1 year that would be 365 words or more?
then that might be enough to talk to someone with that language ,

I don't believe in Duolingo or Memrise. If you want to learn a language, the first thing you need is a teacher. Find someone who is a native speaker in your target language but wants to learn your language. Then teach each other. Seek out likeminded people. If you're learning Spanish, join Spanish learning forums and social media groups. Study together with other language learners. They'll keep you accountable and keep it fun.

If you're learning on your own, watch youtube videos with subtitles on in your target language. A big mistake people make is they watch youtube videos with English subtitles. The subtitles have to be in the target language. Then pause the video whenever you see a word you don't understand and run it through Google Translate. At first this will be incredibly laborious. As you get more proficient, you'll use Google Translate less and less. You can also slow the video down to 0.5% or 0.75% for better comprehension and then work your way up to normal speed.

My advice is to discard Duolingo, Memrise and all the other language learning apps. They are fun, but they are built for the purpose of making the developer money through addictiveness and user engagement. If the real goal is true fluency you've got to have conversations with native speakers. That's the real acid test of your proficiency.

In fact, continuous exposure to foreign language learning is the most effective method. I suggest you start with simple dialogues or movies that will fill your ears first.

agreed , this forum alone is best source to learn more and accuracy in english , since most of us does not use english as a native tongue but with this forum slowly we are getting alone and having a chance to at least enhance a little our literacy .

There are many people who want to learn a new language but cannot learn it at a certain time due to work or study. For them NHK world is a very effective method because you can learn the language at any time on our website you can find audio and text files of all the lessons on NHK World's easy new language learning website. If a lesson is difficult to understand you can listen to it as often as you like again there is no problem in skipping the part that you have learned.

For me the best way to learn a new language is with Apps like duolingo. The have small sets of tasks you need to do every day, it includes, writing, listening and speaking. It only takes 10 minutes and you can repeat it as much as you want. Also if you forget your tasks you get reminders which is very helpful. You can use the App in the morning during breakfast, at night in bed or just when you are on the move. I improved a lot with it.

I think recitation is the best way to learn a foreign language. Of course, for me, I spend a lot of time on bitcointalk every day, which is also helpful for my English learning.

Sorry to ask but please have you tried in learning a new language through the voice apps ever before? If yes, how soft did you achieve that?

We are agreed with all you say because as long as we have a strong intention to know and learn that language, we will have an effort to search for how we can master that language. No matter if sometimes we feel it is difficult, we will not stop before we can master it. Actually, this era support and help us to learn a new language because we can use many media available on the internet such as Youtube, a free lesson on the website, or even joining in the conversation with other people. We can try to talk using video calls with that person to help us communicate to help us to master that language.

There are language that I find difficult to learn no matter my effort...they just bore me.
But I have noticed that when I'm emotionally attached to a language, I easily learn their words. So, if you want to learn a language, you should probably find something you love about a tribe/society and learn the language of the society by learning that thing you love about them.

There is no age limit to be able to learn a new language, both young people and old people still have the opportunity to learn a new language.
Most importantly we must start with a strong intention, after that we must daily learn the language we want to master. Don't forget to take time
to practice it, can try to talk directly with people who come from the country that we want to learn the language. Suppose we want to learn Japanese,
we have to practice it by talking directly to Japanese people. That way we will be much more mastered the foreign language that we want to master,
especially now that there are many applications that make it easier for us to talk to people from all countries in the world.

Older people can also learn more languages. It is about how your will about that. If you really want to learn the other language, you will spend your time learning and practice and I will give a big portion in practising because, with practice, you will know what is wrong and what you need to learn more.
Watching more movies about that language can help you to understand and with practice, I am sure you will have the skills to speak that language. But you need to be patient because learning a new language will not easy as it says.

If you are still young, you can learn more languages. Although we cannot travel because of the epidemic, we can go out and play at will when everything improves. We can go wherever we want, and communication will not be hindered. .
If you want to learn a language, you can watch more movies and imitate them. I spend a little time every day learning other languages. Although dual subtitles were required at the beginning, they gradually accumulated. When you have accumulated that you already know what the meaning of a movie performance is, you don’t need to understand it through subtitles. You are one step closer to success.
