How To Learn Internet Tips?

Interested in learning multiple languages, any tips?

  • So, I want to learn the following languages, in order of priority: French German Japanese Swedish Russian Korean ... Yeah, that's a lot of languages. Anyway, my mother tongue is American English, I'm fifteen, I live in the USA, I have all my life, I have no family that speaks any foreign languages, and I don't have the money for any sort of programs or anything. My school only offers French -- which I'm taking next year. I have a few internet friends who speak various languages, but that most likely isn't going to help with pronunciation... and you know, the fact that half of those have an entirely different alphabet. So, does anyone have any tips as to how I learn six different languages at least semi-fluently? Any tips on a specific language helps, too, whether it's just a website for languages or whatnot. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

  • Answer:

    First of all, go for it! The more languages the better! There are tons of different ways to learn languages without spending a lot (if any) money. Definitely try to learn in a classroom setting when you can...that's usually the best way. Here are some other things to try: -Read newspapers, books, and magazines in the target language (if the language has a different alphabet you'll have to learn that first) -Listen to internet radio (helps with listening comprehension) -Watch Youtube videos in the language -Use Google (but not Google translate...Google translate is really inaccurate) -Study the history of the language and the culture of the people who speak it (makes learning it more fun) -Get a language pen pal...the best website I've ever been on is www.mylanguageexchange.com -Use www.wordreference.com for most of the languages, it's an online dictionary and verb conjugator that is WONDERFUL The more languages you learn, the easier it gets to learn new ones, but you have to be persistent. Vocabulary is a ***** at first, but it gets better. I'm fluent in French and Spanish, so if you ever need any help, you can e-mail me at [email protected]. I love to help new language enthusiasts!

tip one: learn Esperanto first. It helps tip two: check the times needed. japanese/korean 2200 hours each, french/swedish 600 hours, german 750 hours, russian 1100, esperanto 150. Make a weekly schedule that respects those numbers. tip three: find material you like, such as books you find interesting and movies you enjoy watching (make sure they have good subtitles in your native languages) tip 4: make sure you have help to get the pronunciation right. you need it to get a feel for the language ignore all fairy-tales about confusion and overload.

Get learning the culture of each language briefly, this is to associate the language with visuals or auditory aspects of it, and have music playing in the background while on the bus or something. this will help you not only memorise it but place it into your long term memory! So for example with French, you can get into their music culture which is BIG!! watch the film la haine if your into cinema, or amelie etc

Hi, I'm a native Korean speaker. I strongly recommend Korean. It sounds a little bit hard but it's easy to pronounce if you know Hangul(Korean alphabet) and practice. If you wanna learn Korean, I can help you. I'll give you some website address and information about Korean. Website: www.learn-korean.net (go to 'Korean classes' of Learn Korean Menu of sidebar), (This website doesn't include any videos) 123learnkorean.com (useful collection of links about learning Korean) www.learnkorean.com (This includes a link of Korean lessons in youtube) www.elanguageschool.net/korean (You may have to know how to read Korean alphabet to learn in this website) Hangul:Korean alphabet Hangul is made in 1443 by the great king Sejong of Joseon dynasty. Hangul is consist of fourteen consonants(ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㄹ,ㅁ,ㅂ,ㅅ,ㅇ,ㅈ,ㅊ,ㅌ,ㅋ,ㅍ,ㅎ) and ten vowels(ㅏ,ㅑ,ㅓ,ㅕ,ㅗ,ㅛ,ㅜ,ㅠ,ㅡ,ㅣ). (It had originally eighteen consonants, but we don't use four disappeared consonants now.) ONLY Hangul can show every language, every pronunciation in the world. Only Hangul is made for exact reason and purpose. Only Hangul is made by a king of a country. Hangul is very simple and easy to learn. Even many of four years old Korean read and write Hangul. Korea's illiteracy rate is 0.2%(the lowest rate in the world). Almost all of them cannot write and read because of the war and sexual discrimination. Korean may be hard for native English speaker like you, but it may be very interesting. I can only write this short because I don't have much time.I'm sorry for my low quality answer. If you want to know more or learn Korean, e-mail to [email protected].
