okay let's jump into today's topic
[Music]
can you learn a language faster with a
study partner
it would be ideal if we all had a native
speaker next to us to help us as we
learn a language
but that's not always possible some
people are able to pay a tutor
or enroll in a school other people may
be able to find a language partner in
the city where they live
but what about learning with someone who
isn't a native speaker
studying a language with a fellow
learner can boost your progress
and make the learning process much more
fun
part one the benefits of learning with a
study partner
first it's more engaging when you're
learning alone it's just you inside your
head
and while you can talk out loud to
yourself with another person
you have no choice but to engage with
someone and when you're engaging and
using the language
you tend to remember it better than if
you just kept it inside your head
this brings us to the next point second
you can learn more how you can read
through a phrase book all by yourself
and forget the phrases 10 minutes later
but if you're learning with someone
you're interacting and applying the
things you're learning right away
you're able to practice and quiz each
other which is probably more than you
would do if you were studying by
yourself
this means you end up retaining more
also
if you explain a grammar rule to your
study partner you'll end up
understanding it better
teaching others is a great way to
improve your own understanding
third learning is more enjoyable and
this is the best part about it
the purpose of learning another language
is communication with other people
if you study with someone else you'll be
able to share your challenges and your
mistakes and give each other tips for
how to make progress
yes but you'll also create a lot of fun
memories by succeeding and laughing
together as you work through the
learning process
fourth the other person can hold you
accountable
if you have a language learning routine
going with someone then both of you will
expect results from one another
if they notice you're having trouble
with a certain grammar rule and pointed
out
then you're much more likely to get it
right next time
fifth you can make it competitive which
also speeds up your progress
if you're learning with someone who's a
bit better at something than you
then you have something to aim for to
reach their level this can be super
motivating
if you're working with someone who is at
the same level as you you can think of
fun challenges to do together
to encourage one another to improve
rapidly so what are some ideas you can
use to learn with someone else
part two how to learn with our language
program
if you're using our program here are a
few ways you can use the program with
another person
however you can easily apply these tips
to other resources as well
one take the audio and video lessons
just press play on a lesson
and listen to the audio or watch the
video lesson together
two role play the lesson conversations
most of our lessons start with the quick
conversation you and your learning
partner can take the roles of the
speakers in the conversations
then switch roles to practice speaking
and three
quiz each other use the lesson vocab
section to quiz each other on the lesson
vocabulary to see how much you remember
you can try saying a line from the
conversation and see if your partner
knows what it means
or you can quiz your partner on the
grammar rule introduced in that lesson
ask them to explain it the benefit of
quizzing someone else is that you get to
reinforce your understanding of the
grammar as well
so to recap having a study partner can
boost your learning progress
just by having another person around
you're more engaged you retain more
you enjoy the process more and you can
motivate one another
while holding each other accountable now
over to you
are you learning on your own do you have
a steady partner do you want to find a
study partner now
