if you're trying to learn a new language
you'll sometimes have to contend with a
whole new alphabet complex grammar and
difficult pronunciation many new
learners start out strong but peter out
after a short time
but that doesn't have to be your story
don't let the harsh reputation of some
languages scare you away yes it's not
easy but it probably isn't as hard as
you think either in this video we'll
give you four ways to improve the way
you study while learning a new language
follow these and it will be hard not to
see improvement in your language ability
number one develop a good accent when
first trying to learn a new language the
words might overwhelm you some words
might be extremely long or complicated
in ways you aren't used to
as a result the new language can
sometimes sound more like noise in an
actual language this could be because
you don't yet have a good grasp of
pronunciation in that language
so focus on this weak point by learning
and practicing how to correctly
pronounce each individual sound in the
language
start with ones most similar to your
native language and then move on to the
more difficult ones then start
practicing with full words phrases and
sentences
work your way up to listening to
recorded audio of native speakers and
try your best to mimic their flow of
speech
while this method probably won't make
your accent perfect it will help you
improve greatly
even more importantly you'll be able to
hear the language differently and
continue to improve
when you intuitively know how to
correctly pronounce a sound it's a lot
easier to recognize that sound when it
is spoken or read
knowing these new sounds gives your
brain some context for what it hears
when you're using the language our
language learning program is a great
tool for working on your pronunciation
it lets you play back the words from a
lesson in isolation you can also play
audio at a slower speed this is perfect
for pinpointing the nuances of the
language and developing your own accent
as well as your ear
number two
break down the writing system every
language has its own unique set of rules
and challenges when it comes to writing
your best bet is to focus on one point
at a time
trying to learn the entire system at
once can be overwhelming
work with a section of the writing
system until you become fairly
comfortable with it the point of going
slowly and doing one piece at a time is
to ensure that you have a firm
foundation if you rush through this
stage you might miss essential details
and this may negatively affect your
learning in the future
number three learn grammar in context
this tip is applicable no matter what
language you're learning once you move
past the basic vocabulary in the
language try to pick up the patterns of
the grammar by learning the rules in the
context of phrases or sentences example
sentences found in the lesson notes of
each of our lessons are extremely
helpful for this
after each lesson you can look at the
examples to get a feel for how a
particular aspect of the grammar worked
then you can practice making your own
similar phrases using the same rule
slowly but surely as you work through
each episode you'll take greater
ownership of the language this approach
is a lot more effective than memorizing
tables or rules if you can use the
grammar and vocabulary you just learned
you're much more likely to internalize
it and thus remember it the next time
you want to say something in your target
language
number four get feedback from native
speakers
receiving correct and accurate feedback
from native speakers is vital to
improving your skills in the language
whether you're reading or writing you
need to find out what your mistakes are
so that you can correct them
some people are willing and able to pay
a private tutor or take a formal class
in order to help them progress
these things will certainly help but
they aren't the only options if you live
near a major city there's a chance that
there are some native speakers in your
area
keep your eyes and ears open because you
might be surprised where you can find
them you can look for a nearby meetup
group or a language exchange you're
likely to find speakers there as well if
these options don't work out you can
take your search online there are
several free language exchanges where
you can chat via video or audio with
other language learners look for a
native speaker learning your own native
language so that you can practice
together and correct each other's
mistakes don't be afraid to put yourself
out there and make mistakes it's all
part of the process as long as you're
getting good feedback when you use the
language your skills will improve
hopefully this video took some of the
fear and mystery out of learning a new
language remember that the most
important tip is to enjoy the language
for its own sake if you enjoy the
process of learning then studying will
seem more like a journey of discovery
than work
