After
spending hours of reading language blogs, thinking which methods and resources
would suit my personality, finding the right resources, I’ve finally came up with my own “perfect”
language learning strategy. I want to share everything with you and to be
honest, so I want to admit that the lack of money forced me to do that. That is
an interesting thing because I thought previously that all good language learning
resources are not free. J Also, my cousin from France is coming to my
country in 20 days, so I wanted to prepare for that as much as I can without
spending any money, though I wish to spend a little money around June 13th, because
I want to start having few conversations
with a native speaker. Firstly, I will do 15 minute sessions, twice a week,
and then 30 minutes next week, twice.
Every day, I
commit to these things:
I’ve
started to focus intensively on my pronunciation by practicing because it is an
essential aspect of speaking a language.
I’m
constantly adding new words, phrases and sentences to my personal course on
Memrise, from the texts which I encounter.
I use Duolingo
every day with the “Insane” daily goal.
Français
Facile is currently my favourite language course. I save audio and text to my
computer and revise them every day and I am trying to reach at least 500 words
of reading there every day.
I listen as
much as I can.
I am doing
also other little things which mean a lot, like writing short sentences and post
them to italki or Lang-8 to be corrected and learn from my mistakes, I use
Forvo when I need to know how a specific word is pronounced, etc.
The most
important thing is to do every intentional learning activity throughout the
whole day, divided into smaller parts.
The things I
do when I am not actually studying:
Listen to
the radio, watch television programmes, watch soap opera, listen to other
podcasts without transcript. I don’t try to understand all these things. I just
want to be surounded with a language as much as I can, and switch my daily
non-productive activities with the similar things, but in French.
The reason
I wrote this is because I wanted to share with you my immense happines because
of that and that I’m feeling accomplished . Thank you for reading this post. I
appreciate it a lot!
