10 keys to learning a new language

Language is a system of communication used by humans, typically consisting of spoken and written words, gestures, and symbols with agreed-upon meanings. It enables people to express thoughts, ideas, emotions, and information, allowing for effective communication and understanding between individuals or groups. Language is a fundamental aspect of human culture and society, playing a crucial role in various aspects of our lives. These 10 keys will help you learn a new language. Are you ready?

1. Have no biases, be friendly. You cannot hate a people and hope to learn their language.

2. Speak the little you already know. Children are never afraid or ashamed of making mistakes, so they learn very fast.

3. Age is no barrier. Depending on how you manage your time, age is really no barrier. 20 minutes everyday is better than 2 hours once a week!

4. Travel on vacation to places where your desired language is spoken.

5. Use language learning Apps. Google them up on play store.

6. Read books, magazines, newspapers in your targeted language. I have a Bible in all the languages that I speak!

7. Watch movies on T. V., YouTube etc and listen to music in your targeted language.

8. Enrol in Language Schools. Goethe Institute for German and Alliance Française for French among many other options.

9. Employ Nannies, Cooks, Drivers, Security Personnel etc who speak your targeted language.

10. Where possible marry someone who speaks your desired language. If you are already married, this does not apply o😀😀😀.
