Denis Hard Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Different study techniques work for different language students. The two I know of are:1. Intense studying: You put in several hours a day for a short period of time to learn and master a language as fast as you can absorb it.2. Studying for long: You study [a language] for a few minutes every day over a long period of time. Maybe, with breaks.Which of the two works best for you or do you use a combination of the two methods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredkawig Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I usually study for a short time and with the maximum length for a day if not for a week. And along with it comes rushing and cramming all the ideas and the words that I should remember and understand. When the feeling of studying hits me, I should continue it so that I can learn a lot.

kitkat0124 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I spend lots of time, reading what I have to learn. I will read it repeatedly in that way I can understand or learn it faster. Another thing I do is I do mnemonics. It will be easier for me to recall everything I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baburra Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I don't really have much of a routine or strict goals I adhere to, I pretty much just try to learn something new everyday even if I just spend a few minutes or hours on it. Knowing myself, if I force too much in a short amount of time, I'll just end up getting overwhelmed or forgetting everything if not both.

wander_n_wonder Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I prefer to study in a way that it is spread out through the day. However, I make sure as well that I allocate at least an hour before I sleep purely for studying. I believe it is the most effective time to really absorb something because you will process everything as you sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diprod Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I reserve 30 minutes a day if I really want to study a language. Then I find friends who speak it and communicate with them to practice. I also watch a lot of shows where that language is being used. Those help a lot.
