Music trying to pay attention to song lyrics, quotes by Spanish authors, following the news in Spanish on my phone and last but not least.. I use one of the countless language groups you can find on whatsapp. The latest quote I came across (by Julio Cortazar) : "Tenemos que obligar a la realidad a que responda a nuestros sueños, hay que seguir soñando hasta abolir la falsa frontera entre lo ilusorio y lo tangible, hasta realizarnos y descubrirnos que el paraíso estaba ahí, a la vuelta de todas las esquinas" Learning languages is sexy!

Some other methods I've used. Listening to nursery rhymes and reading children's stories if you are a beginner, these things are designed to teach children a language so it will definitely help you with basic vocab. Meeting people, I can almost guarantee, no matter what language you are learning there are native speakers in your city. The best way to find them is through social media or ad sites which allow you to post social groups. Just explain why you want to meet people and your level of expertise in the language. A lot of people will be willing to do it because it will help improve their English and they know the situation you're in.

Nevertheless, have as much conversations as you can, since through listening, you won't get really better in the language you're learning. For vocabulary, read books. For your pronunciation, well, I'd recommend "Sounds American", "Rachel's English" and "The Accent's Way". They will be relevant for you if you aim to speak GenAm. Have fun, though. Just wanted to give you some tips.

I tried it but it's just so boring and it doesn't matter how many years you're taking these classes, you probably won't be confident enough to take in english in a foreign country. That's why I learned it on internet! I've become so much better that now I can listen to youtube videos without subtitles and I understand english song lyrics without having to translate it to portuguese! I think one of the things that helped me the most was Tumblr because it's a mainly english website. Also, music is the best thing when it comes to learning a new language!

Just go up to someone and ask if they speak that language. As far as I know, it is not rude to go up to someone and ask that. You will be amazed by how excited and grateful these people are when you attempt to speak their language. My dad is a native Spanish speaker and his face lights up when he hears my friends seriously trying to communicate with him. I'm learning Arabic and I went to the gas station and started speaking with the guy at the register and he was beyond happy that I was trying to say little phrases like "hello" "my name is" "thank you". These are the little steps you need to take to learn a language. It's so satisfying to get some words out of speaking. Good luck everyone!

If you want to use the app only for the exposure of basic words and usage. 😃 Are you using the app? What language are your focus, mine would be French.

Have you guys ever learned a language with a different alphabet? Because I'm trying to learn Korean at home and it's being pretty hard to get familiar with reading completely different letters from what I'm used to. Any tips?

@Freazer96 8 жыл бұрын

well i know 3 languages , arabic hebrew and english ... and i'm looking to learn korean .. so first of all get to know some words then start learning the alphabets and then connect those two 😉

I'd def say watch korean variety/dramas, most of them are already english subbed (I rec kshowonline.com if you're interested in variety shows and dramacool for dramas). Talktomeinkorean is a really good site to start with the basics and grammar to progress. It's also a plus if you do happen to understand Chinese, bc from when I was learning Korean, you could direct translate quite an amount of Korean words/phrases to Chinese so it was easier for me to understand.

+Ana Pisani TenguGo is a great app. I learned the Hindi and Arabic/Urdu alphabet with it...It took me like a week to be able to read Hindi...There is also a comic that explains the Korean alphabet really well...Search for the Polyglot group on KZfaq and someone can send you the image I'm sure...

+Ana Pisani I was thinking about the same as watching the video. I have been studying japanese for years and the reading and writing is still very difficult because it's a whole different thing. Two things that works for me: studying by flashcards and trying to read music lyrics as listening to it, like in a karaoke. It helps you get used not just to the individual characters, but to whole words and expressions. And as you are talking about korean, I know it's not gonna be difficult to find some music to listen haha

My way of learning a language: 1) Set your phone to your new language before you learn anything! 2) Download a language exchange app (I use Tandem or HelloTalk) before you learn anything! 3) Use a language course that either is free or costs next to nothing: (Duolingo and Babbel are really good, NOT Rosetta Stone!) 4) Study every day and stick to the plan with this! 5) Speak the language EVERYDAY on that language learning app you bought earlier!

This is an amazing video! I am a Chinese guy and I've been learning English for more than 11 years, but I actually speak and use this language for just maximum 3 years. And now I can proudly say I speak English perfectly, even learning French with the foundation of English not my mother tongue Chinese. I this it is very essential that a person who is studying a foreign language should realise the languages need to be working not only for these lame language tests in school, most importantly for using them in every day living. Repeat them when you hear someone saying a new word you don't know, speak to the cashier when going to the supermarkets buying some food, read them when you seeing an ad board on the street and of course pause and learn them carefully when you watching tv series with the foreign language subtitles on. This is the core purpose of learning a language and the tip i wanna share with y'all. thank you damon and jo.

@lexibadami3116 6 жыл бұрын

My biggest tips are definitely definitely watching KZfaq videos in the language, listen to almost all of your music in that language, definitely try to learn song lyrics, I also suggest learning more about the culture in general cause then you'll be a little more interested in continuing your experience (as well as slang cause it's always fun to learn to talk natively), oh also going to restaurants or any place you can practice that language, and most most most most definitely try your absolute hardest to pronounce things correctly from the beginning because once you have less of an accent you'll feel so much more comfortable actually putting that language into practice, oh and definitely have shower conversations with yourself in that language and always try to be thinking like oh I wonder what how to say this and then actually search it up because you'll be trying to learn things you actually say a lot! Love this video so so much I just found you guys and am so excited to start watching your videos!

Something i think that would be cool: one whatsapp group to learn languages. For example, we can make one with brazilians who want to learn english and americans who want to learn portuguese. If you want to say something, you need to say in the language you want to learn. Maybe it sounds a little confusing, but would be awesome. Sorry for my bad english 😛
