How quickly you learn a language depends on how hard you try, just like any other skill. The key is to be consistent and focused. To learn quickly, we recommend making language learning a daily habit and participating actively in class. Here are some other tips:
- Take risks and speak the language whenever you can.
- Read children’s books and comics in the language you are learning.
- Watch movies and TV shows, listen to music, and read articles and books in the language you are learning.
- Immerse yourself in the language as much as possible by spending time with native speakers or traveling to a country where the language is spoken.
