I like to read blogs in other languages. I found them the perfect learning t
tool(s)
. They're usually written in oral language.
Movies are also a good channel, especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning. Though they don't always e
exactly
match what's being said, they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the language.
Games are an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs i
include
games.
When the first excitement of learning a new language begins to disappear, it can be hard to s
sustain
it. Ideally, I usually sign up to take a big language exam, so that I'll have to keep studying.
Each time I start getting too p
proficient
, it's time to take a new course that will require higher skills.
What's more, I try to think in the language I'm learning. The best language class I've e
ever
taken was my beginner's Russian course at university, where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of forget about English w
when/while
I was in a Russian class, which helped me really immerse myself in the Russian language.
