My tips for a language learning study plan
Immersion is arguably the most effective way to learn a language. You should surround yourself with the language and listen to it, as much as you can. Immersion-based learning is indeed the most natural way to pick up new words, phrases, and expressions.
Create a separate YT channel strictly for your target language.
Use sticky notes to label things around the home.

When it comes to the best ways to learn a language, it’s important to know that you need to find the most effective way to learn a language that works best for you. Although the guidelines we mentioned today are relevant for everyone, you need to pay attention to your learning habits as well.
Practice. When it comes to learning a foreign language, you need to use it. Even if you’re a beginner, you need to use the language as much as you can. Challenge yourself, have conversations with yourself, talk to yourself in the mirror. Find what works best for you 😄
When it comes to staying on track and practising regularly, it’s easier said than done. But there’s one thing you can do to make sure you don’t give up – make your learning process interesting and fun. Try playing games, solving quizzes, and doing interactive exercises.

What should I be reading to actively maximise my language learning?
Read aloud rather than silently in your head. Working on your language listening skills helps you mimic sounds for speaking. Reading helps you recognize more vocabulary and grammar structures.
When you read intensively, you read at your pace or very slowly with a strong focus on comprehending everything whether that be grammar, vocab or pronunciation.
It takes a lot of dedication to read in a foreign language, therefore if something does interpret your enthusiasm towards learning, stop immediately and take some time to rest.
Having a great balance between intensive and excessive reading is crucial. This makes the learning process more relevant and burdening.
The idea here is that vocab and grammar points that appear continuously eventually become internalised due to repetition, and by that you absorb more by reading for pleasure rather than having to "study" actively.
Maximise reading with:
children's books ~ reading along at your own pace and out loud.
music lyrics ~
Repeating instantly after the audio forces you to say what you're hearing rather than what you thought you should be hearing.
change language settings on your phone ~ essentially this encourages you, “forces” you to read these words out loud as well as comprehend them.
Create your own journal dedicated to your target language ~ only write and read aloud in that language.
If you're feeling brave, news pages on a topic you recognise or resonate with can be great.
finding yourself a language partner ~ fellow apps such as hellotalk is a great start.
These flowing tips allow you to read in your target language for longer periods, don’t worry about how you sound because you’re not a native and learning this new language is fun right? 😊👭
The more you become comfortable with reading out loud or repeating your favourite phrases, you will find you will be able to carry on your conversation(s).
