Learning a language often requires tears, toil and sweat.  But it doesn’t always need to be hard graft.  There are many ways to make learning languages easier.  Dedicating ten minutes to the cause can make all the difference.  By prioritising learning languages, so that it doesn’t become a chore, but an integral part of each day you can make great advances.

Get Fluent Fast, is a guide with 61 tips on how to accelerate your learning, whatever your level.  Rajul Chande, from Get Fluent Fast, has kindly contributed to our English Class and given us a couple of exclusive tips.  The first was in our December English Class:

Use “vocab. stickies”
 
Here’s an easy way to build your vocabulary in English for little effort.  Stick post-it notes on everyday objects around you with the English word for the object placed on them.  Use different colours for different categories of word (e.g. red for adjective, blue for noun etc) or for different types of information.  You’ll become more and more familiar with them every day.

The Second is: Translate your favourite song lyrics
 
You’ll find lyrics on the internet or on your CD covers.  Just put them into English from your own language.  Better still, only listen to music in English!  Once you have them written down you’ll enjoy reading them and also analyse them for grammar, new expressions, vocabulary.  You can also do this while listening to your favourite singers/bands.  It’s a lot more fun than textbooks!
