If you want to learn a new language, then there are definitely a
few tried and true strategies and tips that you can take advantage of to
enhance your success and even have a bit more fun in the process! The
thing about learning a new language is that time and repetition are key.
The best ways to alleviate boredom and keep yourself on track
(especially if you're doing it at home) are to have some fun and make
the best use of your time.
- If at all possible, watch TV or movies in the language that you're trying to learn. Really pay attention and try to understand on your own. Keep an ear out for words and phrases that you've learned. To make this easier, you can turn on English subtitles.
- Read books / magazines / newspapers in the language of your choice. This is very similar to the first tip, but slightly different in that you'll be seeing the words in front of you and reading them, which is a slightly different learning method than listening.
