LANGUAGE LEARNING: SPONSORED FEATURE
THINK IN THE LANGUAGE
Think about everyday activities – driving, grocery shopping, ordering a takeaway – in the new language. This will help you to:
• Recall basic vocabulary more quickly • Train your brain to see new words in authentic contexts • Improve your reading, speaking, and listening skills
Moreover, motivation to even try can be hard to maintain when life in a new place – and keeping up with your work and other responsibilities – takes most of your time. Where do you fit in learning a language? We’ll let you in on a secret.
Most of those who learn a new language more quickly than you, or who learn seemingly effortlessly, are not of above-average intelligence or inherently better language learners. Not in most cases, anyway. They don’t just ‘pick up’ the language through listening passively
to conversations around them or through frequent exposure to various media in the target language. Nor do they spend hours daily or weekly memorising vocabulary lists or completing grammar drills. In fact, most successful language learners do not see language
as something they can learn mainly through traditional studying for a set period of the day. Successful language learners are those who have decided to take,
or make, opportunities to incorporate regular practice into their daily routine. They treat language learning as something to be woven into their everyday lives. They also usually prioritise regular meetings with a teacher, and many have a textbook of some kind as a reference for standard questions. In other words, the most successful language learners do
something that makes the seemingly impossible possible: they step out of their comfort zone, they practise speaking the language with a teacher on a regular basis, and they incorporate practice at every opportunity they can throughout their normal day. The coloured boxes feature some tasks that successful language learners choose to do on a daily or near-daily basis.
