How to Learn a New Language

Instructions for use

• Learning a new language may seem like a
  challenging feat that is difficult to start. An
  entire language of sounds and dialect that are at
  first indecipherable, can be incredibly
  overwhelming. However, approaching this task the
  right way can help you achieve fluency quickly
  and efficiently. The first step is picking a
  language that works for you and what you want to
  accomplish. Choose a language that you will be
  able to use once in a while or that has some
  relevance to you.

• For example, if you are of Italian descent,
  choose to learn Italian to communicate with
  relatives. Or go with a language that is
  prevalent in your area and can be used in the
  community. Spanish is a great example of a
  prevalent language across the US. On the other
  hand, deciding on a language like Yiddish may not
  be of very much use to you, as it is considered
  an endangered language throughout the world. The
  next step is setting attainable goals for
  yourself.

• If you are planning on traveling to the country
  that speaks your new language, it is unrealistic
  to expect fluency within a month before your
  trip. Understand that fluency in another language
  will take time, persistence, and patience.

4

• Nothing is going to happen over night. Once you
  have decided upon your language and set goals for
  yourself, you need to choose a way of learning
  that language. There are a lot of different
  options out there but very few of them will be
  free, so you should be willing to invest a little
  bit of money into your new interest. It is also
  important to note which method will be most
  effective for you. For more complex languages,
  like Japanese for example, you may be better off
  hiring a Japanese tutor rather than trying to
  teach yourself from an app on your phone.

5

• After choosing your method, the next step is to
  learn the basic pronunciation, vocabulary and
  grammar tutor of the language. Most instructional
  methods for languages will lay out some sort of
  curriculum for you to follow, so this step will
  be easy. It is the first big part in actually
  mastering a language. Once you have a solid grasp
  on that, you must practice, practice, practice!
  When learning French, I found that I came to a
  standstill in my studies because I had mastered
  the basics using a virtual program, but I really
  didn't have anyone to practice with. Conversation
  is probably the biggest part of any language. You
  may establish expertise in writing or reading in
  your new language, but holding a conversation
  with someone can be entirely different, as it
  requires speed and fluency. I ended up hiring a
  French tutor to continue my studies, strictly so
  I could practice my speaking skills. Lacking
  friends or family who can speak the language you
  choose can pose a problem, so finding someone to
  conversate with is necessary to advance to the
  next level.

• Once you have mastered the art of conversation in
  your new language, test yourself. Seek out games
  or quizzes online to test your knowledge. You may
  even want to take a standardized test in which
  the results can help prove your level of the
  language to schools, employers, friends, etc. The
  Communication Abilities Diagnostic Test (CADeT)
  is a popular test that can prove your abilities
  to speak, read, and write in your new language.

7

• There are a lot of really great tutors for tests
  like these if you wanted to go the extra step to
  ensure you pass. No one is motivated to learn
  when they are miserable doing it. You can make it
  fun by learning about the culture. If you can
  afford it, try and go to the country in which
  they speak your new language to completely
  immerse yourself in it. There, you will get real
  life practice and have an amazing experience
  while doing so. Learning a new language can be
  incredibly useful and enriching to your life. If
  you follow the steps above, you will be bilingual
  (maybe even trilingual) before you know it!
