Most of people want to learn a new language but they failed simply because they gave up when they realized
that it wasn't easy after trying too many times. So here I will share with you some tips that could be very useful in your learning.
  1. Is easier if you first learn new vocabulary, like, numbers, colors, things, days of the week, animals, countries, places, months, etc...So you can practice speaking your language but changing the way you call the things around you with the new vocabulary you learned.
  2. After you learned the new vocabulary, you can learn how to fix, compose short sentences.
  3. After the first two simple steps you can learn some grammar if you really like it or really want to.
  4. Try to practice as long as you can, you can go to different places to meet with your friends and while you are waiting for them you can practice with some video you downloaded or listen to some music, also you can write new vocabulary in a paper or a notebook and each time you can read and try to memorize it.
  5. Start to think in the language you are learning, never try to translate because it just makes you slower.
  6. A very important sentence you must learn is "How do you say?", "Can you spell it?" "Would you repeat it?", "What is its name?" in the language you are learning.
  7. Look for music, movies, newspapers in the language you are learning. You will improve your pronunciation singing.
  8. Learn about the culture in the places where people speak the language you are learning, sure it will help you to understand better some expressions.
  • Is even better if you find a friend who speaks the language you want to speak, sure if you practice with your friends you will learn in a funny way so it will become easier for you.
