How To Learn Internet Tips?

What foreign language are you learning? Can you give me some tips on how to learn quickly?

  • Hi, I am a Filipino and I speak the native language of the Philippines (tagalog), and also English as my second language. Since 2008, I've been learning Hindi language by the help of Internet. A few months ago, I decided to learn Spanish also. Can you give me some tips on how to learn quickly a foreign language?

  • Answer:

    I have learned english and right now I'm learning spanish. I learned english mostly through watching english tv and english movies when I was young (also through school). almost all tv in my country is in english so it's almost like being immersed in the language. spanish was a bit harder for me, and I studied it for four years in school and I still didn't become fluent. I stopped studying it quite a while ago (like a year, I wanted to study it for longer but that wasn't available), but recently I've tried to improved it since I might be going to spain for a year this spring. what I've done is to LISTEN. I've down loaded spanish radio and listened every day on the bus. I've watched spanish tv online (I found this awesome spanish show called "Amar in tiempos revueltos" lol), and this has really helped! I'm still not fluent since there are no spanish speakers around to practice with, but now I understand almost EVERYTHING of the spoken language, which is a huge improvement from before. so my tip is to start listening a lot to the languages you're learning. after all, listening is what babies do when they learn a language, and I think it's the most natural way of learning a language in. like you learn how native speaker use different phrases and expressions, and you can see how the grammar rules you learn in the class room are used in real life. I'll give you some sites where you can watch spanish tv and listen to spanish radio :) spanish tv: http://www.rtve.es/television/ spanish radio: http://www.rtve.es/radio/

English was my first language which I learned naturally as a young child/baby (The language learning program Rosetta Stone supposedly uses a "natural" learning method) Spanish I learned half naturally (my mom is from Argentina) and half using books. I found that once you know how to put together sentences and conjugate verbs, you've pretty much mastered any language. Currently I am learning Biblical Hebrew (my mom is also Jewish). It's a bit difficult, the sounds are odd and similar to Arabic sounds, the verb/subject/object order is different than English, there are many different tenses and verbal suffixes that are confusing. Again, learning verbs and common words are very important. I would suggest getting a grammar book and a dictionary and you can learn Hindi or whatever language quickly, GOOGLE TRANSLATOR can be helpful (but sometimes inaccurate). Once you know a decent amount of any language, you MUST practice it (read books, have conversations, write) or you will lose it. THE BEST WAY TO LEARN A LANGUAGE: IMMERSION! Go to a country that speaks the language you want to learn. I went to Argentina and became FLUENT in Spanish.

i've learned french and english and learning japanese now. i think that the fastest way to learn a foreign language is to listen to the music of the language, study the lyrics and translation, and also newspapers/news in that language/ one that helps is regularly you think things in your mind in your native language, so if you try to think the thoughts in your head in that foreign language, it will help. and also talking to people around you who can speak the language and see if you can watch television shows in that language . basically all the sources in that language will help a lot ! hope this helped too!! :)

I'm learning Italian and when i was learning the names of simple objects I labelled everything in my household so i would not forget them, and always saw them and easily learnt them. I also watched a lot of italian movies, news, anything i could get my hands on and it's really helping. Studying and revising verbs always helps in developing languages like italian and spanish. hope this helps
