Language Learing - 5 Essential Tips To Start Learning A Foreign Language
By: Aaron Kuroiwa
Here we will begin discussing the how to become a
better and more independent language learner. The ideas and methods that
we will discuss are not specific to a particular language, those will be
discussed in other articles. Here are 5 language learning tips to help
get you started.
1. BE REALIST YET OPTIMISTIC - Anyone can learn a foreign language, but
not everyone learns as quickly as the next. Set goals for yourself, and
evaluate how you learn best so that you can have a realistic plan of
attack to start learning your language of interest.
2. KEEP IT SIMPLE - Just like a child learning English for the first
time you don't start by learning how to say complicated medical terms.
Get a good dictionary that has explanations for common words and their
idiomatic uses (idiomatic - conforms to or specific to a particular
group of people). There are several great reference dictionaries out
there. I recommend Harper Collins Dictionaries or Larousse. There is a
great book that approaches learning vocabulary by subjects which is a
great learning method. The book is Master "insert language" Vocabulary a
Thematic Approach.
Start by learning basic vocabulary and common phrases. Then you can
practice making your own sentences. Think about things that you say
everyday in English but probably don't think about and make list. Then
start learning these essential conversational pieces.

3. BE A COPY CAT - Then you can practice making your own sentences.
Think about things that you say everyday in English but probably don't
think about and make list. Then start learning these essential
conversational pieces.
You could buy some language learning software or CDs but I recommend
searching for popular movies or books on tape that are in your language
of interest. Play a short portion and try and understand as much as
possible and then play it over and over again. As you do this mimic what
each person says. Focus on pronunciation and accent. This will help you
train your ear and help you get used to different vocal patterns and
mouth movements that make speaking a different language difficult and
intimidating. This will allow you to learn from natives and prepare for
you to do the real thing.
4. LOOK FOR PATTERNS - When you start to learn more complex grammatical
concepts you want to try and simplify every idea. You don't need to know
the fine details or to be able to make a valid argument regarding the
value of prepositions.
Conjugations - Especially in Latin languages there are patterns for
every conjugation. Learn and memorize patterns of 5 verbs and then apply
all of the same patterns to all of the other verbs that you learn. Some
people will look at conjugations and feel overwhelmed and maybe even
give up, but conjugations are simple if you take the time to learn and
memorize the patterns that can be applied to all verbs.
Note: This principle is not perfect because there are exceptions and
irregular verbs that do not follow the regular patterns, but looking for
patterns is a very efficient tool.
Then you can practice making your own sentences. Think about things that
you say everyday in English but probably don't think about and make
list. Then start learning these essential conversational pieces.
Sounds - When you start focusing on Pronunciation again you want to look
for patterns. Break each word into syllables and annunciate each one.
Look for groups of letters that make specific sounds when grouped and
then you will be able to recognize them in new words, large complex
words. This will allow you to break the words down to smaller parts that
are not as difficult to sound out. Once you do this start saying the
word slowly focusing on each syllable. As you become comfortable begin
saying the word at a normal speed. Don't fall into the pitfall of trying
to say words at the speed a native would speak. This will only hurt you
in the long run. Others will understand that you are learning and will
appreciate the fact that you are speaking correctly and clearly.
Remember the tortoise wins the race.
5. READ OUT LOUD - This is an essential step in learning to speak any
language. This will allow you to use all of the previous mentioned
techniques. I recommend starting with easy books like comics or books
for 8 - 12 yr olds. These are great because they are not written to be
difficult literary masterpieces and they are very conversational. Which
is meets our goal of learning to speak the language in a natural
setting.
First, keep a dictionary close by because you will most likely need to
look up words. By reading out loud you will learn new vocabulary for
specific situations and see how it is used in real life.
Secondly this is a great opportunity to speak the language. Practice
reading the words slowly and clearly breaking them up into syllables if
necessary. By reading out loud you will be able to get used to making
the new sounds, using muscles in new ways that is associated with a new
language without the pressure of having others around you.
Last, you will start to learn new words, recognize words you already
know which will help you remember them, and you will learn new sayings
and recognize patterns in the language.
