wanna speak real English from your first
lesson sign up for your free lifetime
account at English class 101.com there's
a saying the trust is hard to earn yet
easy to lose the same can be said for
foreign language skills being proficient
in a new language takes hours of
practice and study but if you stop using
the language it will fade from your
memory to put it simply if you don't use
it you lose it that's why it's so
important to incorporate the language
into your daily life as much as possible
if you're serious about learning but how
do you do that if you don't live in the
country in this video we'll look at five
ways you can use your target language on
a daily basis and immerse yourself in
the language even if you don't live near
native speakers number one live your
digital life in your target language as
access to technology increases people
are living more and more of their lives
on the internet use this lifestyle of
constant connection to your advantage
most devices laptops phones tablets or
other connected gadgets have an option
to put their operating system in another
language why not put the devices you use
in the language you're studying just
scrolling through things on your smart
phone won't make you fluent but it will
force you to interact with the language
everyday in a small way when it comes to
foreign language acquisition every
little bit helps you can even switch
your social media platforms or web
browsers to your target language the
time you spend on your devices now
become study time number two relax in
your target language everybody likes to
kick back and entertain themselves in
some way why not use this part of your
day to learn more try looking for TV
shows music or movies in your target
language you can use subtitles or follow
along by reading lyrics if your level in
the language is on the lower side it
also helps if you approach this language
learning time as fun and not work don't
force yourself to watch movies you don't
like or listen to a kind of music you
have no interest in the point is to keep
a casual relaxed study environment
number three journal or keep a diary in
your target language it might not be so
common to write out your thoughts or the
events of your day in a journal anymore
but it can be a great language learning
habit you can do this by writing by hand
and
or on a laptop using a foreign language
keyboard that way you don't have to
worry about your handwriting and can
even practice typing in your target
language as you try to express your
thoughts in a foreign language you might
find gaps in your vocabulary this is a
good thing
filling in these gaps is what will build
your skills and increase your ability in
the language if you're not sure how to
correct your own journal entries you
might want to try finding a site online
which will allow you to upload writing
and have it corrected by native speakers
number four language exchange with
native speakers a language exchange is a
classic way to learn a language in a
language exchange to people who speak
different native languages help each
other practice for example if you are a
native Spanish speaker and are learning
English you would find a native English
speaker who is learning Spanish partners
take turns speaking their target
language and the native speaker provides
help and corrections this is one of the
most ideal ways to practice your
speaking skills so where do you meet
native speakers if you don't live in a
country where the language is spoken
your first option is to check around
locally are there any language clubs or
exchanges around your city check out
meetup websites
you can also check around local
universities if there's a language club
that meets nearby you may be able to
find some native speakers if you can't
find a partner or a group to meet with
in person check online there are a good
number of foreign language exchanges
most of which are completely free to use
number five work with someone else
learning the language another great way
to sharpen your language skills is to
work with another person who is also
learning the language if your level is
higher than theirs you'll learn a lot by
trying to teach them or help them
understand difficult concepts if your
level is lower you'll be able to draw
from their advice and experience if
nothing else you have a new language
partner to practice with it's easy to
forget sometimes that using a foreign
language is actually what makes language
learning so fulfilling
sometimes after hitting a plateau or
struggling with the language you can
forget why you started learning it in
the first place so whether you're
learning in a class or you're teaching
yourself the language daily immersion
will help you enjoy the language and
keep your skills sharp
