week 13

If you want to learn a new language by yourself without going to classes this is how I do it.

Use a notebook! Write down your glossary in it. Write down grammar rules and practice the grammar. Write shorter sentences as if you are in a class.

Use apps. Many use Duolingo, also I have tried Memrise which is great for vocabulary training. Apps is hard, you really have to check them out yourself, what works for me might not work for you.

Write lengthly (1 page or so) texts! I cannot stress this enough. Everyone who needs/wants to learn a new language need to know how to use it in lengthly texts and conversations. Transelate that song you have been singing for the last days, transelate your favourite song. Transelate a paragraph from that book you’re reading. Write a lengthly profile about yourself where you describe your favourite memory as detailed as you can, your hope and dreams, how you want to be and how you are.

Read lengthly (1 page or so) texts in that language! You need to practice your understanding. Read from a newspaper in that language, or find childrens books in that language at the library.

Find a language buddy! Find someone native of the language you are trying to learn and ask if they are willing to chat with you, maybe skype or any other form of communication you are comfortable with. Practice is key!

Patience!
