Ways to Learn a Foreign Language Well

①  To leam a foreign language well, the most important thing is how much time. You are involved in language learning. The more time you spend on the language, the faster you will learn. This means spending time enjoyably on whatever relates to the language you are learning.

②  Wherever you are, listen to the language and read what you are listening to. Listen to and read materials that you like, materials that you can mostly understaend, or even only partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening and reading each day is more effective than many hours of class time.

③  Build up your vocabulary. You'll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and pbrases through listening and reading. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them.

④  If you do not want to learn the language, you won't if you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content that interests you--that you want to listen to and read. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. Talk when you feel like it. Write when you feel like it. You can learn to become fluent if you want to.

⑤  Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand, or cannot yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer, but this will happen at a pace that you cannot control. So sit back and enjoy.
