Hey you!

As the world becomes more connected, learning a new language becomes ever more appealing. 

Whether it’s for business or pleasure, being able to speak a foreign language can bring great benefits and opens up a whole new universe for you. 

Try learning a new language

Self-Learning For Introverts

If you’re an introvert, the best way for you might be to go the self-learning route. 

Learn vocabulary from an app like Duolingo (check this out in your app store, it’s free). 

You can also check out language learning websites or grab a textbook from your local library.

Attend In-Person Classes

If you’re a total extrovert, then you’ll love in-person courses/classes. 

You’ll be able to interact with other learners and build relationships while learning at the same time.

Practice Speaking

Think of this as a first step towards creating financial discipline. Tracking your expenditures (and income) for a month will make you aware of your habits. Who knows, it might even tempt you out of your weekly Friday evening shopping haul!

Connect With a Native Speaker

Practicing with a native speaker can help you quickly improve your language skills. 

Native speakers will often speak at a more natural pace. So, it’ll help you work on your pronunciation, unlock more natural-sounding conversational elements and improve your listening skills.

Check out Bussuu, it’s a place where you can connect with natives and exchange your knowledge. For example, someone learning English, but speaks French fluently, will be able to learn English from you while you learn French from them. It’s a 2-way knowledge exchange.

Immerse Yourself in the New Language

There are so many mediums you can choose from.

One fun way to do this is to watch TV in the language that you’re learning.

But whether it’s watching TV and movies, listening to music and radio, or reading the news – you have plenty of options.

Make Travel Plans

The best way to put your new language skills to the test is to visit places where the language is used.

When you travel, you get to see new places, interact with local people, and immerse yourself in the culture.

It also gives you a chance to identify gaps in your knowledge and can help you pick up new phrases and vocab.

Let\’s Reflect
Why is it important?

Self-reflection is the key to self-awareness. It allows you to look neutrally at your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and actions. 

It is about questioning what you do and why you do it. Through this practice, you\’ll be able to look at yourself with newfound interest and curiosity.
