NATASHA Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Do you have an easy way to learn a language and if so what has helped you?I have heard that memorise is a good way to learn and you can find it on the internet Quote
zabina12 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 I do read a lot when I want to learn a new language or new things. I also try to speak to someone who knows the language and ask some easy words or phrases for such language. Practicing how to speak the language will help too. Quote
Rosa Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 I prefer to be in a group setting when i'm studying a language. Group study is a big booster for me because we get to share our different experiences and learn from each other instead of sticking to a syllabus in the classroom. I also like to use flash cards and any form of translator. Quote

CrystalMarie Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 I learn the fastest through the use of flash cards. There is an app called AnkiDroid that is extremely useful. It shows you cards based on how well you did previously. You can easily learn 40 plus words a day with this app. Quote
gmckee1985 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 There are a myriad of ways one can go about learning a new language. I think the use of flash cards is helpful. Definitely invest in some audio books and or Dvd's to help you pick things up quicker as well. It helps to hear the language you are trying to learn actually be spoken properly. Also, if you can afford it, invest in a tutor to help you learn the language. Quote
cranberry87 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 I always pick up languages quickly if they are being spoken around me. I think that the environment teaches us best. If you hear a particular language being spoken around you often and you are able to ask questions about particular words or phrases, it really helps. :grin: Quote
hanseung Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 I have found apps that pair you up with language partners, which helps tremendously because you are made to find a way to communicate with the other person, and they can correct you if you are wrong, thus improving your language skills. I also like to watch shows that are in that language without subtitles and look up any words I don't know. I've been looking for children's books to practice my reading skills, but sometimes even those are hard. Recently I found a YouTube channel that has videos teaching Korean that are in Korean, which I think is a really good idea! Quote
Dora M Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 My approach to learning a new language is usually always quite formal and conservative. I like going to professionally taught classes to gain a basic idea of the language structure, grammar and correct pronunciation. I follow those studies up with reading and writing. I like to surround myself with the new language by watching movies and listening to native speakers on the radio. And, ultimately, I like to travel to a country where the language is spoken, to fully immerse myself in it. Quote
GamerPerson Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 Self made flash cards always worked for me. I would study with a friend that's in the class, we'd also would come up with stories about what the character looked like so we could remember it easily. The professor also encouraged that we do both those methods since it's helped his students in the past. Worked like a charm about 8 out of 10 times. Till we got the harder words and all the words just meant "fish" to me...Long story, that. :shy: Quote
AExAVF Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 I have recently enrolled in an elementary Nihongo language class, and so far I've gotten used to the traditional method of learning in the classroom as well as studying them the old-fashioned way. However, I'm reinforcing my skills through modern methods such as Memrise. A combination of both traditional and modern methods of learning will stick to my mind together as well as help me learn and enjoy the language at the same time. Quote
