HOW TO LEARN FAST?

When we start learning something new, we often desire to do

it quickly, efficiently, and preferably... with less effort.

The well-known 'magic pill'.

Learning languages is one of those processes with an

exceptionally high demand for a 'magic pill' solution.

Can we really learn languages faster? Yes, we can... by

dedicating more time to study and practice. For example, by

HOW TO LEARN BEST?
The best way to learn a language...
... does not exist.
However, there are many learning options available, and each
person can choose the method that will be most effective for
their individual needs.
How can you choose the one? First of all, ask yourself:
What do I need this language for?
What will I do with my knowledge of this language?
In other words, you set your tangible goal – how this language
will positively impact your life in the future.
STEP 4 STEP 5 CONCLUSIONS
3/5
For example,
you start learning in order to watch movies in their
original language and understand the storyline and
dialogues without subtitles.
So, your goal is to understand spoken language.
What do you do to achieve this goal? Increase your
vocabulary? Practise grammar patterns? Is that all?
Oftentimes, our learning activities are limited to
these two aspects, overlooking the most crucial step
towards the set objective: listening, i.e., practising
the exact skill we need.
The bottom line: in order to improve listening, we
need, among other things, to practise listening :)

LEAFLET # 1

ON HABIT FORMATION

✦ Making a habit of actively learning a language at specific

times of the day for a certain number of minutes is the central
element of systematic language learning.

✦ Once learning becomes a habit, we no longer perceive it as

an extra time commitment; rather, it seamlessly integrates
into our daily routine. The more habit, the less stress.

✦ Taking breaks and allowing our brains to rest is crucial for

effective processing of new information. A day or two off can
serve as a therapeutic respite without hindering progress.
However, it is equally important to avoid long breaks for
multiple days, as they can easily become a habit too.

✦ A lifehack: Developing a new habit is easier when you

connect it to an existing, familiar routine. For instance,
learning in the morning before starting your workday.

✦ If you are starting to learn a new language, the first priority

is usually to build a solid foundation by learning the basic
rules of grammar and essential vocabulary. Without this core
knowledge, practising more advanced skills will not be very
effective, as you might misunderstand the context.

✦ At the beginner levels, it tends to be more beneficial to

focus on a single resource (such as one textbook or one LEAFLET # 2
course) that covers various skills at a basic level.
ON PRIORITIES
✦ B1 level (Intermediate) can be the sufficient one to start
introducing additional priorities and resources.

✦ For intermediate and advanced levels (B1 and above), it also

becomes crucial to diversify learning formats to develop all
skills in a balanced way. If your goal is to reach a really high
language proficiency level (e.g. C1), both mastering each skill
individually and developing the ability to combine them all in
live communication are essential.

HOW TO MOTIVATE?

Motivation is one of the most challenging aspects, especially

when we have to study for a long period of time, and
particularly after experiencing several unsuccessful attempts
to grasp a subject.
One of the most common pieces of advice is to reward
yourself with some small yet satisfying treats each time you
achieve a new milestone of progress.
Success = Patience + Method + System
Learning a language in two months is impossible.
However, it is possible to experience a noticeable
improvement in your knowledge and skills, and that
can also become a source of motivation.

That is not bad advice. Nor the only one. Progress can provide us with just as much
motivation as an external treat or reward.
In this section, you will explore other ways to keep yourself
motivated while learning a language.

Before we start, let us refer back to an important point from

the very beginning of this workbook:

Maintaining a daily or weekly journal of what you

have learned is a simple yet effective motivational
practice. Ask yourself, 'What did I do today to

visualise the progress you have made and prevents
you from undervaluing your efforts. Remember, even
small steps can make a big impact.
