There are three phases in the language learning process: beginner, intermediate and advanced. For the time being, beginners are concerned with means of comprehension and production of isolated simple utterances. Intermediates use certain listening and speaking practices, such as the 'walking technique'. To become fluent , advanced speakers must first hold a conversation with someone who is fluent in the language.

Beginner:
1. Find a good learning resource
2. Get an understanding of basic sentences
3. Type notes and review them regularly
4. Use the language!! Speak and write in it.

Intermediate:
1. High quality listening resource (ie. podcasts) designed for those learning the language
      -listen to the program every day while walking
     -repeat short phrases you understand, trying to match the speaker's pronunciation
     -when you're ready: repeat the word of phrase into Google translate

Advanced:
-talk with people in the target language
      -iTalki
      -HelloTalk
      -actually talk to someone irl

"Learning how to write by hand is time consuming, and in my opinion it's not particularly useful."
Chinese and Japanese learners: ️️
"How often do you write with a pen and paper in your native language? I'm guessing pretty rarely."

I love learning languages! Motivation is definitely the number one thing for me (as well as many others). If you genuinely want in your heart to learn a language you will learn it. Great content!

I've been learning languages since I was a teenager and it's been such a rewarding journey. I learn English, German, Italian and Turkish and, like the speaker, I'm not a language genius, just someone who has found effective methods. It's refreshing to hear honest advice about language learning.

Quick-fix promises can be tempting, but real progress takes time and effort. I've found that consistent time every day, even if it's just 15 minutes, really pays off. The speaker's walking technique is brilliant! I've used similar methods and they've helped me improve my listening and speaking skills so much.

Connecting with native speakers, whether online or in person, has also been invaluable. Making mistakes can feel embarrassing, but they're part of the learning process. It has actually helped me improve more quickly. Overall, this content is full of practical tips and encouragement, and I can't wait to incorporate some of these ideas into my own language learning routine!

1. Find a good learning resource, learn the basics of making sentences, type out useful vocab

2. Find a listening material, walk while listening, repeat the words you understand, take note of the frequently used vocab that you don't understand

3. Have a conversation with a native speaker, only use the language you are learning to conversate

I've been studying English for almost 2 years now.
I can express and show a lot of my thoughts easily and sometimes spontaneously
I guess I have a long English learning journey ahead of me that I should enjoy

Totally agree with you with the fact that learning a language really well does not take 2 weeks! Finally someone says it. :) Even as a philologist you will always have new things to learn and to improve. So language learning process is something that never ends if you want to speak well. If you stop practicing, you will forget a lot of vocabulary.
