The Best Ways to Learn a New Language

Category: Primary Grade

Learning a new language is always an exciting challenge. It is also a great way to broaden your horizons and learn about cultures that are different from your own. Fortunately, there are many different ways to learn languages, so if one method doesn’t work for you, you can try another. This post will explore some of the best ways for learning a language quickly and effectively.

Memorizing words and phrases

Memorizing new words and phrases is one of the most popular ways to learn a new language. This method works well if your goal is to become very proficient at speaking, reading, or writing in that language. In order to memorize words and phrases, you will want to make flashcards with new words and phrases, study them in your target language, write them down on paper and/or learn to read new words phonetically.

Speaking out loud

Speaking out loud is one of the best ways to learn new words and phrases because you will be forced to use your target language while speaking. This can also help you learn grammar rules that go along with spoken language.

Listening

It is an investment that pays off with more gains than a library of books. The rewards for listening to audiobooks are the same as reading, but the time spent doing so is significantly less. Listening to audiobooks can be done in small increments of time throughout your day, such as while waiting in line or commuting home from school or the library.

Practising conversation with a native speaker of your target language

This is another way to learn a new language, especially if you have limited resources. Talk with a native speaker of your target language and try to engage in conversation as much as possible. Your goal should be to become fluent in your target language over the course of many conversations with native speakers.

Using the internet and apps like DoerDo to help you learn a language

Apps like doerdo.com can help you learn the basics of a language by giving you ample practice for new words and their usage. The app also gives you clues and hints about the meaning of the word or phrase, so that you can better understand what is being said.
