Learning A New Language

Make sure that you study your new foreign language each and every day... even if for only a little bit! It's much better to study a little each day instead of in one big chunk once per week. The reason is that studying each day will keep the content fresh in your mind and cut down on the amount of time you need to review each time you study your target language. Short sessions each day keep you moving forward. Vocabulary is important for learning any new language. It doesn't matter how much grammar you know, if you don't know the words, you won't get the meaning. So, make sure you have some way of keeping track of the new words you come across in your studies. You can either keep a list or take notes. Be sure to do something fun in the language you are studying! Don't just read grammar books and do textbook exercises all day. If you do this, you will soon find yourself getting bored and not wanting to continue your studies. If you read an interesting magazine article, listen to a song or watch a movie in your target language, not only will you be having a good time but you'll end up learning some more of your language without even realizing it!
