How to learn languages

Hello,
Learning a new language is one of the most enriching and rewarding skills we can acquire over a lifetime, but is it so difficult?

You don’t need to spend your expensive time to re-learning a language the wrong way again, so here are 5 ways to learn a language fast and easy.

4-don't use translations

The moment you cut English completely out of your language studies is the moment you begin to think in your target language. You can do this from the very first day.

5- choose your vocabulary efficiently

Computational linguistics has given us new tools to study languages, and what we’ve found is that learning the first thousand most frequent words in a language will enable you to read 70% of every text you’ll ever encounter, but learning the next thousand will only give you 10% more (and the next thousand, 4%). Use this to your advantage! Learn the first one or two thousand most common words, and then customize to your own needs. Why learn academic language if you just want to travel?
