Useful hobby: passion for foreign languages

Language learners say that the secret of their success lies not in special innate abilities, but in a competent approach and skillful construction of the educational process. We share their life hacks!
It is necessary to set the right goals and divide them into stages. For a beginner, it can be an overwhelming task to learn the language of another country from scratch. However, if you focus on the process and set small goals for yourself, you can easily and naturally master several dozen new words. For example, if you think that learning a new language takes not 5 hours a week, but 30 words, the brain perceives it easier.
Start your language fascination with a list of the most frequently used words. For example, there are more than 600 thousand words in the English dictionary. At the same time, about 1 thousand words make up to 90% of all the most common ones. This discovery will help in a short time to learn to speak in a foreign language.
Use special techniques. One of the most effective is the card system. You can make them yourself by writing a word in a foreign language on one side of the card, and its meaning in Russian on the other. It is recommended to use several types of memory at once: pronounce the word out loud and visualize it.
Try not to miss the opportunity to listen to foreign speech. Watch movies in the original or find a friend on the Internet, for example, on our forum.
