When it comes to learning foreign languages, it is no different at all about some common sense problems that happen to almost anyone that started to do anything. 1. Focus. When I started learning a foreign language, German for example, after due research and buying books that are expensive, I usually come cross some people that speak another language, French in this case, well. I couldn't help looking into it and wondering if I could speak it, too. This distraction has happened to me between German, French, Cantonese, Korean and Japanese. The best advice that I can give is to stay away from any other languages before you have acquired the language you are learning up to a certain level. Then you can turn to others because you will be distracted from the things you need to focus on. This is a taboo for language learners. The advice I can give you to deal with this issue is learning more about the language itself and find out the things you love it for, especially the pronunciation for me because it's the major reason I judge if I should give a go at a language. Secondly, learn something different everyday. If you keep reading the same article everyday, you will be bored. Change topics of your reading materials, and stay interested. Other than that, you can also change the media you use in learning the foreign language. For example, if you read today, you can listen tomorrow. What's important is to do learning as a ritual on a daily basis. Cramming is not a good thing when it comes to learning foreign languages. You need to learn something every day rather than learn everything in a day. Separate the long hours that you are planning to use on sunday into half hours and spread them over the 7 days of the week. Thirdly, find out the breakthrough points of your own. If you like reading, just read books written in the language you are learning. If you like listening, MP3 or audio books might be your choice. If you like writing, keep a diary and write down what is going on with you everyday. As far as I am concerned, reading aloud is what I love. The reason might be that primary school teachers liked to call me up and read texts aloud in front of the class. Anyway, reading aloud has helped me much in language learning because I can do it once for a long time. I could feel that my mouth was getting more and more familiarized with the language's word flow. Once you find out the breakthrough point for you, you can make little effort in doing other things to complete the whole pie of language learning. In conclusion, these are three points that you need to keep in your mind if you want to learn or have alread been learning a foreign language. Wish you success in your language learning.
