Hints for Learning a New Language

In a global economy it is a distinct advantage to know more than one language. Learning another language helps you to consider your own mother tongue.

When learning a new language there are some hints that will make your task a little easier.

Hints for Language Learning

Be consistent in your application. You need to be exposed to your new language on a daily basis. It might only be 5-10 minutes a day but do it consistently.

Learn from a variety of sources - podcasts, textbooks, talking to native speakers, reading newspapers, listening to TV and radio in the language you are learning. You will be surprised over several months how much you can pick up of a new language.

Invest in a good dictionary that has your first language and the language you are learning.

Try and learn as much about the culture of the area where your language is spoken, visit the area if possible. Culture and language are intertwined.

Get used to hearing native speakers of the language so you pick up the correct speed, intonations and linguistic nuances.

Speak the new language whenever you can. The Internet is fantastic for this, if you have a webcam or microphone. The use of Skype will allow you to talk to a native speaker for free.

Buy some children's books in the new language. This will give you confidence at picking up simple vocabulary and syntax.

Relax and enjoy the experience.

As the old saying goes:

He who has another language has another soul.
