Make It Fun ‍

Make It Fun ‍

Make it fun by using language learning apps, reading children’s books, and conversing with people on the street.

Also, read about topics you’re interested in. If you enjoy music, read about music in the foreign languages. If you enjoy fantasy books, why not grab a fantasy book in the target language and start testing your skills?

Motivation and enjoyment are key. Keep those top-of-mind, and you’ll be unstoppable.
