Every language student wants to know the secret to making the most progress in the shortest time. What does the perfect learner do to better acquire a foreign language? The following are some tips which may help you improve your language skills.
Even when you are really tired, do some learning, even if it's only 5 to 10 minutes. Never miss a chance to increase your knowledge. Use it, or lose it! Practice makes perfect.
To really learn a new word, you have to remind yourself of it six times over hours, days and weeks. Write down all your new vocabulary in a little book that you can always carry around with you. Or keep a record in your mobile— you always have it with you, don't you? According to a recent study, 86 percent of the participants(参与者) believe that they are more likely to be successful in remembering new words with a vocabulary list.
Don't worry about small mistakes! No one minds! When you learn new vocabulary or grammar, use it as soon as possible. If you can't use them accurately, it is likely that someone will point out your mistakes at once. Challenge yourself! Go for it!
You can use technology to improve your English such as listening to podcasts (播客) of native speakers, reading news in the language you are learning, watching videos, etc.
Cheer up! You can be a perfect language learner!
