Three tips on how to better at language learning
06/22/2017
The premise of these tips is that you can speak English.
- Practice for an influency exam. Setting an clear improvement goal can force to learn and practice. I aim to improve my English. So TOEFL or IELTS may be proper for me.
- Use extensive reading. Once you're already speaking, getting to read a lot can be a great way to expand your vocabulary. Getting graded readers can help you make the leap into full native reading situations. I have read a lot for the last 18 months. It helped me a lot to expand my vocabulary.
- Rewatch the old TV shows dubbed in the language. If watching native-language shows is too hard, rewatch the old shows you already know the plot to in the new language. This allows for extensive listening practice. I tried my best to watch movies in English subtitles several months ago. Now I can catch most of the meanu without subtitles when I am watch a movie.
By the way, I get all of above tips from Scott Young's blog.
