Hi everyone!
Today, I'm going to talk about how people learn languages.
First of all, there are three sort of learning styles: Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic. Depend of your capacity, you'll acquire one or another. When you start to learn a language, you have to bear in mind what is your capacity to acquire the language. For example: if you are a english learner and you are Auditory, you'll learn better listen than reading something else. But this is not the case, because doesn't care whatever learning style you have. All people can learn a language but not all can be very good at. Maybe you're very good at readings, writings but not listening and understand when a native speaker is talking about something so, my recommendations to learn and improve much more as you know you have to do next:
-choose the right strategy
-Learn how your brain works ( maybe you not choose the correct strategy)
-build a network and then throw in the words (meaning,sentences, words)
-Do not focus just on the words ( words are just the little part of a language)
-find motivation ( doing things regarding the language that you're learning will be more entertain for you and useful)
-Watching vídeos (on youtube, Google). It's much easier for you overcoat if you're interested in music, art, etc
-Checking words: Everytime you make an exercise, essay or something else, check in order to not be wrong). If it is necessary, look at the dictionary, or translators. Since the appear of internet, it's much easier!.
-Listening songs : If you're a lover of music, this is the best way for you. Listen a lot of times, look at the lyrics and compare with your mother tongue, I'm sure you'll learn a lot!.
-Listening the radio: Like music, the radio, is one of the best media source to improve too. Look on the internet to BBC radio, Dublin's Radio, or another that you maybe might be interested.
