What and How Do I learn?
Increase Long-Term-Memory. Get Practical.
●Absorb inputs through vocabulary, grammar, and listening
●Apply what you learned in speaking and writing
●Repeat practice in a fun and creative way
Fast-Reading Practice - Why Can't I Read Faster?
●"Chunk-Reading" Practice
●No more translating in your head
●Comprehend sentences using a "image", not words
Listening and Pronunciation - Understand Rules of the Sounds
●People speak differently from how you "think"
●Shadowing practice - Your accents will disappear
●Being able to pronounce and speak = being able to hear - It's a training
Most importantly, get your body used to the language!
Use your ears, mouth, and eyes fully to expose yourself to the language!
