[00:00.95] Hi there.

[00:01.70] Do you want to find out how to learn a new language quickly,

[00:05.39] without the need for expensive classes or language learning software?

[00:09.65] There are really no secrets or shortcuts.

[00:13.65] Most importantly, you need to show commitment to your new language.

[00:18.71] You should also be willing to work hard and not be afraid to make mistakes.

[00:24.55] Make yourself a weekly timetable to make sure you study every day.

[00:30.39] If you have too long a break,

[00:32.74] you are more likely to forget all the grammar and vocabulary that you have learned.

[00:38.60] You will waste time going back over what you should already know.

[00:43.37] You can cut down on this lost time by following your timetable.

[00:48.42] Watch and listen in your chosen language.

[00:52.67] You can do this by watching television shows or films.

[00:56.92] Do your best to avoid subtitles, as you will tend to rely on them.

[01:03.30] To make it easier, watch shows or films you are already familiar with.

[01:09.67] Listen to songs in that language and learn the words and check what they mean.

[01:15.79] You should also read in your chosen language.

[01:20.03] Get a newspaper or a magazine and try to read one article a day,

[01:25.57] looking up any words you don’t understand in a dictionary.

[01:29.83] The best way to learn a new language is to speak it.

[01:34.34] Too many people spend a lot of time studying grammar and vocabulary

[01:39.12] instead of putting what they have learned into practice.

[01:43.63] Speaking to someone face to face will help you to get more motivated

[01:48.11] about learning the language than staring at a book or a computer screen.

[01:53.39] Try to find someone who will tutor you or take part in a language exchange scheme.

[02:00.03] It doesn’t matter how basic your skills are,

[02:04.23] keep trying to speak and you will soon notice a big improvement in your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.
