Learn a Foreign Language
1) Spend the time!
This means listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words, grammar and expressions.
2) Listen and read every day!
Download and listen to French/ Spanish podcasts, music and applications on your MP3 player (http://www.coolgorilla.com/iphone-applications/talking-french-phrasebook.html) (http://macidol.com/song/25372) (http://www.french-podcasts.com)
Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand.
If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language.
3) Focus on words and phrases!
Build up your vocabulary, you will need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, using online dictionaries (www.wordreference.com; http://www.lexilogos.com/anglais_langue_dictionnaires.htm), and make your own vocabulary lists for review.
Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them.

4) Take responsibility for your own learning!
If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content of interest, that you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening and reading.
Use the links provided on this website to review content and practice. The more you practice, the better you will perform.
5) Relax and enjoy!
You are learning and improving.
