2 Minute rule: Do the smallest action towards your language goal right now, but just for 2 minutes.
Break it down so it's the easiest, most simplest thing you can do. Open an app, do 2 mins.
Doing 2 mins, frequently beats doing nothing at all.

How do you find native speakers to practice with?
- Language exchange apps (Tandem/HelloTalk)
- Meetup.com in-person language exhanges
- Have 1:1 video call language lessons with native speakers
They're just a few methods.

Always learn new words and phrases in context. Not in a list.
For example, use images, videos or podcasts (audio) to absorb new words in the context in which they will naturally be used.
Your brain will then find it easier remembering them, because they have a connection.

Hate learning grammar?
Then don't learn it. Grammar is something that you can learn later on in the process.
Start by using readily-assembled phrases where grammar isn't needed. As long as you can communicate with natives, that's your initial goal.

Find a teacher who you get on with, rather than who has X years of experience.
Year of experience doesn't matter if you don't like the lessons you have with them.
Personality matters most, even if they've only been doing it for 1 year. You have to enjoy it for it to be sustainable.

When you're watching TV shows and movies, don't pause it to look up words you don't know.
This interrupts your flow. It's more important to get invested into what's happening. You'll learn words over time through exposure anyway.

Time doesn't matter with language learning.
Normally, time is used in order to compare how 'good' you are in the time you've spent learning the language.
But we don't consider so many variables that come with this Instead, don't compare yourself to anyone else.

If you want to get better at language learning, don't focus on setting 'goals'.
Instead, focus on setting up daily and weekly processes. Things that you'll do every day, every week at the same time.
If you focus on the outcome, it takes months to see progress and you'll likely give up.

You don't need to block out an hour, not even 30 minutes.
Think of all the spare 2 minute intervals that you have in your life. Waiting for things, queuing etc.
If you did just one language learning activity in this time, this adds up. Find 2 minutes wherever you can :)

It's very common to start with grammar when learning a new language.
However, grammar on it's own isn't practical. You can't really use it in conversation.
Read-made phrases are more practical.
The benefit of ready-made phrases is that you don't need to know grammar to start using them.

Many people tend to do 1 hour language lessons or practice sessions with natives when learning a language.
However:
- Our attention spans as humans are only around 25 mins long.
- It's easier to fit a 30 minute call/session into your busy calendar than a full hour.

Ask native speakers to correct you either at the end of your current topic of conversation, or right at the end of your practice session/call (like a summary of your mistakes).
This way, you can keep going with your conversation and not feel interrupted. It's important to get into a flow.

Got 2 minutes free? That's all it takes to learn a language.
My point: don't want until you have an hour to sit down and study. You can find 2 minute intervals while you're waiting for things (in a queue etc).
Open a language app and do an exercise on there. It adds up.

Don't let native speakers correct you mid-sentence if you make a mistake.
Instead, ask the native speaker to let you know your mistakes at the end of your current sentence.
This means that you keep the flow going, which is more effective than being cut off and losing what you want to say.

I'm working on an online course that's no BS, straight to the point on actionable things you can do to reach your language goals if you're currently flat out.

It happens to all of us. We have experiences in the past which make us believe we aren't capable of doing something.
This also applies to language learning. However, there's so many different ways to learn a language.

It happens. You get days when you have no energy to learn your target language.
However, it's fine to take a day off. When you come back to it, make sure you do activities that you'd enjoy normally.
For example if you like reading, read a book in your target language.

How do you learn a language as fast as possible?
Fail as fast as possible. Do this by trying different things and experimenting with the language.
Learn a phase then try swapping out one word for another. See what works, and what doesn't.

If you're practice with a native speaker, it's seen as being helpful if they correct you after making a mistake mid conversation.
However, this interrupts your flow. Makes it harder to finish what you want to say. Ask them to wait until the end instead.

Don't compare your level in another language to anyone else.
You don't know the facts about how long they have been studying for, what they have sacrificed/given up to reach that level.
Instead, take note of how far YOU have progressed in YOUR level over the past week, month and year.

Pronunciation doesn't matter as much as you think.
Many people are scared to practice with natives because of the fear of getting the pronunciation wrong.
In reality, if you have enough context you can still be understood.
Focus on progress, not perfection 👍

It's hard to do this, but:
Don't tell your friends or family that you're learning a language until....
You feel confident enough to SHOW them your progress.
Because the feeling of being able to surprise them when you actually SHOW them you're speaking a different language will feel incredible.

If you want to get conversational in another language you can't rely on using apps alone.
You need to practice with regular speakers.
Also, listening to the radio/a podcast in your target language can help with understanding better.
