let’s be honest it’s difficult to learn

a new language if you’re new to a

language it’s going to take consistent

and concentrated effort to start using

the language fluently

however this fact shouldn’t discourage

you while learning a new language is

hard it’s far from impossible in this

video will outline five tips you can use

to jump-start your language learning

follow these pointers to learn your

target language in a way that is

efficient and effective number one limit

your native language use when practicing

the idea here is that when you practice

with native speakers you do your best to

refrain from using your native language

this is generally harder the less you

know but if you can manage to stick to

this rule you’ll reap some huge rewards

if you commit to a no native language

practice session it’s not going to be

easy most likely there will be some

frustrating if not painstakingly

difficult moments where you either have

trouble understanding the person you’re

talking to or you can’t say what you

want to say it’s precisely in these

moments that your language learning

muscles are built up to capacity the

process really isn’t all that different

from working out in the gym just replace

the physical burn of lifting weights for

the mental burn of thinking in a new

language in the end if there’s no pain

there’s no gain obviously this no native

language rule doesn’t have to be written

in stone there are times when it’s more

beneficial to break out of the target

language box and have something

explained to you in your native language

however this should definitely be the

exception rather than the standard

number to have set times to practice

speaking throughout the week now that

we’ve discussed a good way to practice

speaking let’s delve a bit into when to

speak one of the best commitments you

can keep while learning a new language

is to set aside specific times to

practice speaking the language on a

weekly basis ideally these speaking

sessions are on set days at specific

times and formed part of your weekly

routine if you don’t make it a point to

set aside specific practice times you

run the risk of your language practice

falling through the cracks of your busy

schedule I recommend writing down your

practice times and hanging it somewhere

you can always see it you can also input

the time than to your

and set an alarm the point is to remind

yourself of your commitment every day so

that it doesn’t fall by the wayside

number three get picky about vocabulary

whether you practice with a podcast a

friend at a coffee shop or a teacher

you’re going to run into a flood of new

and unfamiliar vocabulary despite your

best efforts it’s unlikely that you’ll

be able to pin down every new word or

phrase you hear and study it later thus

you should pick and choose which new

words you focus on the defining quality

of each new word you learned should be

its practicality the more useful of word

or phrases to you in a conversation the

more important it is that you learn it

don’t feel like you have to cram the

entirety of your target language into

one week of study take it one step at a

time a few practical words here some

more there before you know it you’ll see

your vocabulary improve number four

write and practice short monologues this

tip can be a lot of fun begin by

selecting a topic you enjoy discussing

then simply write out a short monologue

or speech on the subject in your target

language the first thing you’ll notice

while doing this will likely be the

holes in your grammar and vocabulary but

when you try to write out your thoughts

in a foreign language you might

inevitably hit roadblocks you might not

be able to think of a word or know how

to formulate a specific idea or opinion

yet this can be great because these

holes are the exact areas where you

should focus your studies you can bring

up these problem areas in your next

lesson or browse through your favorite

language course or textbook in order to

find the answer the constant process of

finding these language holes and filling

them is what keeps you moving along the

path to fluency once you finish your

short text it’s a great idea to practice

reciting it or even memorizing it the

memorization will help you internalize

the new grammar and vocabulary you’ve

learned reciting it will get your tongue

and mouth used to the sounds number five

keep an up-to-date list on what you want

to learn throughout your studies you

should always have a sort of language

shopping list as you practice and study

you will most likely come across things

you’d like to be able to say but don’t

know how to yet especially if you follow

our previous

right this wishlist down it’s one thing

to learn the vocabulary you pick up via

a course or podcast both of which are

great it’s a bit different when your

vocabulary gets personal learn the words

that matter to you either because

they’re practical or because you simply

find them interesting the more relevant

the vocabulary the more likely you are

to retain it some people might tell you

it’s impossible to learn a new language

for whatever reason but it’s important

to remember that the way you study and

engage with a language greatly affects

how quickly or effectively you learn it
