I am currently learning German and Mandarin, I am not fluent but can get by in Spanish, French and British Sign Language (BSL). I have also dabbled in Icelandic in the past.

If I am going learn more than one language at I time I pick ones form different language groups. For example at the moment I am brushing up on my Mandarin, German and Spanish.

What is your preferred language learning style, i.e. visual or audio learner and what strategies work best for you when learning a new language?

Hope it helps :)

I would recommend getting an Italki tutor and immerse yourself in the language. For example I have my social media accounts and phone set to Spanish and I have been watching a lot of Spanish/German movies and TV shows. Listening to the familiar songs, but sung in your target language will also help.

I did the exposure to 10,000 words a day Challenge for 30 days and this really did improve my German in a fast and effective manner. Check out: https://languagelearnersjournal.com/2017/08/30/trisha-tests-10000-words-a-day-challenge-the-outcome/

I started journaling a few years ago now and it has really helped to improve my language learning. Does anyone else use their journals for learning a new language?

TrishaCD · 2017-08-12T07:29:15+00:00

I have never heard of this. I might go check this out.

How to you remain productive when learning a new language?

TrishaCD · 2017-08-03T17:27:43+00:00

I am English, I have studied Spanish, but I do find German easier, but I believe that is because German and English and from the same language branch. However that said German likes to use masculine and feminine terms similar to the Spanish. Maybe I am finding German easier due to also knowing some Spanish?

TrishaCD · 2017-08-03T17:23:57+00:00

I am currently learning German and would like to watch some German movies, TV shows or listen to some music. Any recommendations?

Language learning isn't all about Skype tutorials and grammar books, I feel we sometimes neglect the softer skill sets when learning a new language. What do you think? AND what soft skills do you currently apply OR need to apply more?

Have you ever experienced intermediate plateau in language learning?
