Try less when learning a new language

It seems counterintuitive, but you’re more receptive to pick up on language patterns when you aren’t hyper­focused on learning them. So rather than stare intently at a vocabulary list when learning, glance over the words while you listen to instrumental music. Or turn on subtitles in the language you’re learning even as you watch TV in English. Don’t devote your full attention to them—just enjoy the show and absorb what you can. The less you stress, the more you’ll be able to learn.
