Learn A Foreign Language Need Not Be Painful

By Alexandra Peterson


There really is no need to struggle and fret over learning a new language. It doesn't matter if you're learning for school, work or our own pleasure, the time it takes to become fluent and to master any foreign language can be significantly slashed with a few simple tips and tricks. When you become frustrated or feel that you're stuck with your progress in learning a new language, I want you to think of these simple steps to learning any language that you desire.

If you can, take advantage of every opportunity that you have to speak the language that you're trying to learn. This means seeking out native speakers that might live in your local area, making friends with native speakers and practicing speaking the language that you're trying to learn. Often you can find someone that is hoping to speak your native language and you can help each other out in the process.

If you're having difficulty remembering new words or if you become frustrated with your retention of new vocabulary, try using all your senses to learn new words. Listen to the word, repeat it, write it down several times and think of it inside your head to help yourself to remember. After a while and by using this technique repeatedly you will find that words that once baffled you come naturally to your mind often without even thinking about it.

If you're like most of us, you have huge gaps of time in your day where you could be learning your new language. Most of us have to spend some time commuting to and from work and usually this time is very unpleasant. Listen to some recordings of native speakers or practice your pronunciation instead of being unhappy during your daily commute. You will find that your day is less stressful as well as being more productive as you use this wasted time to learn your foreign language.

Even if you're not fluent in the language that you're trying to learn, watching movies in that language can help you and also boost your confidence. The ability to listen and comprehend are stretched and you might surprise yourself with how much you understand. Let your mind soak up all the words and even if you don't understand everything at the moment, you'll become familiar with these words and it will be easier to learn them in the near future.

Repetition can't be understated when it comes to learning a new language. For anything to become a habit or be done without thinking it's necessary to repeat the desired result many times. While this might become tiresome after a short while, the end result is what should be important to you. The payoff for all of your hard work will be when you instinctively understand and reply to a native speaker and they are impressed with your mastery of the language.
