okay let’s jump into today’s topic

[Music]

can you learn a language faster with a

study partner

it would be ideal if we all had a native

speaker next to us to help us as we

learn a language

but that’s not always possible some

people are able to pay a tutor

or enroll in a school other people may

be able to find a language partner in

the city where they live

but what about learning with someone who

isn’t a native speaker

studying a language with a fellow

learner can boost your progress

and make the learning process much more

fun

part one the benefits of learning with a

study partner

first it’s more engaging when you’re

learning alone it’s just you inside your

head

and while you can talk out loud to

yourself with another person

you have no choice but to engage with

someone and when you’re engaging and

using the language

you tend to remember it better than if

you just kept it inside your head

this brings us to the next point second

you can learn more how you can read

through a phrase book all by yourself

and forget the phrases 10 minutes later

but if you’re learning with someone

you’re interacting and applying the

things you’re learning right away

you’re able to practice and quiz each

other which is probably more than you

would do if you were studying by

yourself

this means you end up retaining more

also

if you explain a grammar rule to your

study partner you’ll end up

understanding it better

teaching others is a great way to

improve your own understanding

third learning is more enjoyable and

this is the best part about it

the purpose of learning another language

is communication with other people

if you study with someone else you’ll be

able to share your challenges and your

mistakes and give each other tips for

how to make progress

yes but you’ll also create a lot of fun

memories by succeeding and laughing

together as you work through the

learning process

fourth the other person can hold you

accountable

if you have a language learning routine

going with someone then both of you will

expect results from one another

if they notice you’re having trouble

with a certain grammar rule and pointed

out

then you’re much more likely to get it

right next time

fifth you can make it competitive which

also speeds up your progress

if you’re learning with someone who’s a

bit better at something than you

then you have something to aim for to

reach their level this can be super

motivating

if you’re working with someone who is at

the same level as you you can think of

fun challenges to do together

to encourage one another to improve

rapidly so what are some ideas you can

use to learn with someone else

part two how to learn with our language

program

if you’re using our program here are a

few ways you can use the program with

another person

however you can easily apply these tips

to other resources as well

one take the audio and video lessons

just press play on a lesson

and listen to the audio or watch the

video lesson together

two role play the lesson conversations

most of our lessons start with the quick

conversation you and your learning

partner can take the roles of the

speakers in the conversations

then switch roles to practice speaking

and three

quiz each other use the lesson vocab

section to quiz each other on the lesson

vocabulary to see how much you remember

you can try saying a line from the

conversation and see if your partner

knows what it means

or you can quiz your partner on the

grammar rule introduced in that lesson

ask them to explain it the benefit of

quizzing someone else is that you get to

reinforce your understanding of the

grammar as well

so to recap having a study partner can

boost your learning progress

just by having another person around

you’re more engaged you retain more

you enjoy the process more and you can

motivate one another

while holding each other accountable now

over to you

are you learning on your own do you have

a steady partner do you want to find a

study partner now
