How To Learn a Foreign Language: Tips & Advice from a Polyglot - Wolters World

http://www.woltersworld.com
Learning a language is never easy, but there are a few tips that can make learning a bit easier and a lot more successful.
1. Read out loud. This will help you get your tongue around harder words and get you practicing the language in two ways, the reading and the pronunciation.
2. Just speak! Do not worry about others, if you speak with confidence people will listen regardless of your mistakes. And the more you speak the better you will be at the language.
3. Live with locals. If you are living abroad try to live with a local family or make friends with locals as they can help you learn quicker.
4. Do not get frustrated. A lot of people get upset when people tell them their Spanish/Portuguese/German is not perfect. Do not get upset. These people will never be happy with your accent so do not let them bring you down.
5. Realize you will never be a native speaker. Unless you started learning when you were a child you will probably always have an accent, and your life of a double agent will be very short. So, realize that you cannot pronounce every double R or funny looking letter. It is ok. Just try your best.
6. HAVE FUN!!! Speaking a foreign language is fun and just amazing. So enjoy it.

@urbanempress Wow... I am guessing your parents always let you win when you were a child...

@woltersworld no we are not both wrong. you are wrong as you are making a generalization. I am not. I am saying "there are quite a few" and not: everyone is. you are saying: "you can't learn a language like a native unless you are 3 years old". You are generalizing and even giving a set age without even knowing the research and statistics.

@urbanempress OK... Listen to yourself... "Super Learners" Yeah, because the average person learning a language is a "Super Learner." What I am saying is that there are some people who do not even try to learn another language because they will not be perfect at it. I am telling them to not to worry about and just go and have fun and learn a language without worrying about a perfect accent. Its called making people feel better, no research needed ;)
