207: The best language learning method

207: The best language learning method

In this solo episode, I describe what I consider to be the most effective approach to learning a language.

Episode Summary:
  • Begin by getting a thorough grounding in the basics - quantity over quality is best at first
  • Start speaking early on with a language tutor
  • Grow your vocabulary while getting used to the sounds of the language - listening & reading
  • Practise what you learn directly with a language partner or tutor
  • Create a lifestyle that involves using your new language as much as possible
