Learn a Foreign Language



  Halo, apa kabar? Vous parlez Français? Sprechen sie Deutsch?. Ok ok, that's enough, Hopefully, you could guess what language was that. Learning a foreign language is one of the positive ways to grow our brains. Ouw right, we get it. Learning a new language is challenging, frustrating, sometimes could be a nightmare. It can be hard to zero in on what language learning tactics would be especially helpful for your personalities. Good news mates, here are some fresh ideas on the best way to learn a foreign language. 

  Knowing your motivation. This is the first step to learning a foreign language. If you don't have a good reason to learn a language, you are less likely to stay motivated in the long run. Motivation is quite tricky to build. But no matter your motivation, once you've decided on a language, it's crucial to commit. Without that, you'll eventually burn out.

  Make new friends. Today you can find a community easily on the internet or at events. If there's a community of people who speak the language you want to learn, start the events. Friendship is one of the best ways to learn a foreign language and the easiest way to get comfortable with slang, intonation, and mannerisms. The great part about making a friend who already speaks the language is that you will be able to practice freely without feeling self-conscious. 

  Keep practicing and have fun with it. Using your new language in any way is a creative act. Think of some fun ways to practice your new language such as writing a poem, simply talking to whomever you can, listening to podcasts or radio with the language you're learning. 

  Every language sounds strange the first time you hear it. The more you expose yourself to it, the more familiar it becomes, making it easier to speak and comprehend. Keep in mind that learning a language can take some time. There is a process as long you're consistent. Trust your experiences and the knowledge you've gained so far.  

  Have fun learning a foreign language and as always, have a nice day😀.
