5 steps to learn a language from scratch

A question I get asked often - what steps to take when just starting with a language? -- 1. Start with the alphabet if the language has a new writing system. It's extremely important to get the pronunciation right from the beginning so you don't have to rely on often inaccurate English renditions of how to pronounce words. Once you have the writing system down, write as much as you can in the language without relying on English or another language to help too much. 2. After the alphabet, learn basic greetings and vocabulary. This is an important step and helps motivate you to keep going. I listen to the radio or to music from that language a lot, and if I learn the 100 most used words in the language, I'll most likely hear that word in a song and get super excited about it. 3. Grammar. Learn a grammar structure, look at example sentences (either on apps like Duolingo, or textbooks, or sites that give example sentences like conjugator) and then replace words in the sentences with other words you know. 4. Practice. Getting a language partner is important. You should find someone who is open to correcting your mistakes, and someone who is patient to talk to you despite you being a beginner. I also practice by doing everything I normally do, in another language. My diary/schedule/shopping list/music playlist all transforms into my target language for a period of time. 5. Keep track of your progress. A diary, studygram or Youtube channel is a good way to see how you've progressed. -- FIND ME 💕 Website http://lindiebotes.com/ 💕 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lindiebotes/ 💕 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lindiebotesvideos 💕 Twitter https://twitter.com/lindiebee 💕 Tumblr https://rinkodesu.tumblr.com -- CONTRIBUTE Did you know you can contribute subtitles in any language? 한국어 자막을 만들어 줄 수 있는지 아세용? 日本語の字幕を作ってくれませんか？ http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_panel?c=UCjVwBKqRh8ckPWhfD5UDKcg&tab=2 -- JOIN THE FUN Would you like to be featured in an interview?
