How to Acquire a New Language Effectively
Recently,
I watched a fascinating video about the secrets of learning a new language by
Lydia Machova. Well I got a new insight about how polyglot could acquire new
languages quickly. For instance Lydia said that she could master a new language
in two years. Brilliant! I was wondering how could it be?
Firstly
learning a new language is about process just like the other learning.
Basically without enjoying the process then learning is no longer fun. For
instance when we were in childhood, we kept learning many things such how to
eat, walk, run, and so on. Moreover, we frequently made mistakes when we were
learning some basics. Similarly, learning a new language is about enjoying the
process. I would say that we should draw in our mind that learning a new
language is much fun by creating whatever amazing imaginations. For instance we
could create imaginations such as travelling around the world and speaking to
native with the language which we have learned.
Secondly
finding out an effective methods. I
believe that everyone has a unique style of learning. Instead of figuring out
the effective one by ourselves, we could take into account the method of
someone who has mastered in languages. Probably
it would be working. However, it is all about the process, we could pick some
methods and try to implement then evaluate the result. Well some methods which is
worked to me are daily self-speaking, writing daily notes, and daily learning through
Duolingo.
Thirdly
about system. Creating a learning system in our daily life is a great deal to
maintain for the long term. However, it would be difficult in the beginning but
it would be worth if we could build a sustainable system. Moreover, it means
that we build learning habits into our daily activities such as what time do
you plan for learning in each day, what is your goal, and what method do you use. Not to mention, the evaluation of our
system is also important. Furthermore, we could set up evaluation in each week
or month to see how much far the progress.
Finally
patience. It is the key of learning anything especially learning a language. As I mention earlier, learning is about
process. However, we couldn’t acquire a new language is one night but it is
like a building block. We need to maintain our process to create a new block and
hopefully in the future it would be plenty of things that we have learned.
Being patience could keep us enjoying the learning process little by little.
Keep
learning!
