Introduction
We all know that learning a new language can be difficult, but there are ways to make the process a little easier.
- Translate any word you do not know into your own language and understand the meaning
- Ask a foreign person about the word and ask them to give you examples
- Practice the words you learn everyday
- Try and learn a new word everyday
- Speak the language everyday, even if you do it to yourself or in a mirror
- If you have a long word. Break the word down to smaller words
Examples
Information - In - for -ma -tion
Definition - Def - I - ni -tion
Successfull - Suc - cess - full
Imagination - I - mag - ni - a - tion
Then repeat each word slowly and start to say it faster and faster. Soon you will be saying the word
Remember never be afraid to say something. Most foreigners will understand what you are trying to say and will help you. Even if you make a mistake you are still learning. It is always better to make a mistake and learn than to be quiet and learn nothing.
