immersion is often hailed as the most

efficient and effective way to learn a

foreign language in many ways it’s true

with all the language learning methods

out there nothing else comes close to

having to think and interact with your

environment in the language you’re

learning unfortunately though most

language learners wrongly assumed that

the only way to experience language

immersion is to pack up and move to a

foreign country but not everyone can

afford to spend a summer abroad just to

learn a foreign language luckily there

are other ways to immerse yourself

these methods are less obvious but they

are effective in this video we’ll take a

look at five steps you can take

for the ultimate language immersion

experience at home number one

transform your digital world into your

target language technology is an

indispensable part of modern life we

interact with phones computers tablets

and other electronic devices throughout

the day why not take these interactions

and use them to practice your target

language most devices give you the

option of switching the language of the

operating system switching your phone or

laptop interface to your target language

won’t make you fluent but it will help

you engage with the language in a very

practical way multiple times every day

another way to transform your digital

life is to check which sites you use on

a daily basis and use them in your

target language also a great example of

this is switching your version of Google

using Google in your target language

will allow you to search for things in

that language and you’re more likely to

get results in that language as well so

if you’re looking for a popular band the

show or food something that’s usually

written in your target language it will

actually be easier to find information

about it if you switch your version of

Google of course you can also change

popular social networks like Facebook or

Twitter you can even go to news sites

for your fill of global news do you like

podcasts try listening to a couple

popular podcasts in your target language

number two write out a speech or

conversation in your target

language a surefire way to increase your

ability in a foreign language is to

write out a mock conversation or speech

in that language pretend you have to

give a speech on one of your favorite

topics it could be anything from sports

hobbies or even your favorite movie

genre now take some time to write out

your fictitious speech inevitably you

will hit some roadblocks but when you

get stuck research the words or grammar

points you don’t know this is a highly

effective and practical way to increase

your vocabulary and it’ll help you

practice thinking in a different

language writing a long connected train

of thoughts exposes the gaps and

weaknesses in your language studying

once you know what these are you’re free

to practice them and use them to

continue on with your speech this is

also a great way to learn new words in

the context of your entire speech

context is king when you’re learning a

language learning words in the context

of other words and sentences helps you

surmise what new words mean it also

helps you get comfortable with how these

words are practically used not to

mention context helps you to remember

and recall new information more easily

number three practice with native

speakers there are a lot of great

learning resources out there for anyone

learning a new language however nothing

quite comes close to practicing the

language with a real person if you live

in or around a large metropolitan area

there’s a chance that there are some

native speakers nearby check and see if

your area has any local language

exchanges or language speaking groups

you’re likely to find a native speaker

there if you can’t make a connection

locally you can search online just as

there are language exchanges in the real

world there are also online ones most of

which are free number four connect with

other language learners native speakers

aren’t the only people who can aid you

on your language learning journey

practicing with other learners is also

helpful don’t worry if you practice with

someone who has a higher or lower level

in the language than you if you’re the

more advanced learner you can learn a

lot by teaching someone else as you help

someone else understand difficult words

or grammatical concepts you’ll find that

you start to better understand them

yourself if your learning partner has a

higher level they can be the one to help

you overcome the hurdles you encounter

as a beginner after all what better way

to learn them from someone who as a

language learner has been in your shoes

number five reward yourself in your

target language at the end of a busy day

we all love a little relaxation and

me-time one of the most enjoyable and

effective ways to develop your language

skills is to kick back and enjoy the

language while doing leisure activities

whether it’s listening to music watching

a movie or TV show reading a book or

even enjoying a good online video binge

even spending just an extra thirty

minutes a day doing something you love

in your target language can yield some

serious long-term results if you’re a

beginner start with more basic content

you might have to start out listening to

simple songs or even watching children’s

shows after a while though you’ll be

able to dive into the meteor stuff and

more engaging stuff as your proficiency

increases learning a foreign language

doesn’t mean you have to spend your days

straining over grammar rules or

textbooks any way that you can take your

learning off the page and make it more

enjoyable will help you learn faster

immersion is a powerful way to learn a

foreign language and now more than ever
