Topic: Learning a new language - page 11. (Read 14192 times)
learning a new language is advantage ,like if you travel in different places you can communicate to other people with their own language because you know it also..
English is my 3rd language and this is the result. I'm 48 now and had to make living in different countries, so I had to learn how to communicate effectively with others. What helped me (and I can see others that were in my situation but didn't go through these steps, lagging behind) is that I have pushed myself (I'm very shy person) to listen and speak.
I've tried recordings and different types of 'lectures' but with very limited success. One really needs to be put in front of somebody who speaks that language and participate actively, without the option of being quiet or withdrawing completely.
I'd write down (the way I thought it should be written) anything I didn't understand and look it up in dictionary. Sometimes even using explanation for that particular translation.
Somebody here mentioned Austria - German language officially but different parts of the country have vastly different pronunciations, even to the extent of not making sense at all. In that case, ask for explanation on the spot. People are in general happy and proud that a foreigner is willing to learn their language.
Conclusion: practise in person as much as possible - speak, listen and read.

I love to learn other languages too so that ill not use subtitles when i watch a foreign movie.Only i can suggest is you will slowly learn other languages through watching their movies or maybe try to read books of foreign languages but the best thing to know foreign languages is to enroll yourself in school were they teach different languages or maybe try to stay to foreign place were you will not only learn the language but also their culture and history itself.

While learning the language I suggest go to youtube on look for videos on that language. I will do that myself once I started learning my 3rd language.
The most easiest way to learn a language is by joining a glass.
Visit language course. You will have improvement for sure
Try to watch movies/TV shows in the foreign language with subtitles on it. Another tip would be do exercise with the self-study books.
For me watching movies in the language in the movie.

I believe one way to learn a new language is to get another version of the story you already knew.
since there is google translate I do not intend to learn a new language, it seems that it is not necessary, google translate makes us understand the new language more easily, although it is not perfect but quite understandable
fastest way is moving to the country and you would just miss our on the grammar learning, I guess
hay gan,dari dulu saya ingin belajar bahasa arab.tapi saya blm memahami nya..

I learned English from a teacher I was in school.
because I feel my teacher is most appropriate to teach me
I think the best way is to live in that country so that you can hear everyone talking that language. Also I think movies could prove useful in this matter. At least for me this two helped a lot.
My method:
1. Find language to learn, example: Korean
2. Write/Spam only Hangul in notepad 2h/daily
3. After two or three months of this you shoul well know Hangul so find like 20 words and spam/write it in notepad and try to speak the words and spam it to remember.
4. Do it same with more and more words..
5. When you will know many words after year, find good book with grammar, listen music in this language, movies or join to language school and practice next 1 year. or just use android apps to learn.. best apps to learn is with ranking or exprience because you will want to be best
I did like this...
Do it same with any language you want. Want Chinese? learn first Chinese letters and same with Japanesse etc.. if you want to learn German, Spain or other with ABC letters it's more easy because you doesn't care about diffrent letters so 1. is off
But best and always best will be just... SPEAK WITH NATIVE SPEAKER and learn from native. That's easy question.
other language is important.simply because this is the easiest way
to communicate others.if you found your self to other country
you learn how to speak thier language and the culture they have to.

I want to learn korean language and thier hangul writing. And the steps that I consider for me to learn it even the basic one is to watch korean dramas and listen to korean song, in that way I can mimic how they pronounce a word also In learning their language I also learn a bit of their culture, so it will be easier to get along with them if ever i have a chance to go to korea, and lastly I want to study korean language with profer education so that i can understand more the korean language. That's my step for understanding other language.
i tried learning German by myself with the app Duolingo, app is pretty informative ans easy to use but nah forgot it all after months
try moving to the actual place and socialize
or watch foreign movies (this is how i learned english excluding school haha)

Only English is important
It definitely helps improve our memory and in older ages prevents alzheimer.
