This is the second part of the article. Please check out the first part too! Once you've watched a few shows for young children, it's time to graduate to show for teens or shows which deal with your favorite hobby. For example, if you like sports, watch a few matches/games. After watching ten baseball games in a foreign language, you will start to memorize the important vocabulary for that sport. Concentrate on a single topic for some time. Don't hesitate to use a dictionary if there are words don't understand. Using tools such as dictionaries will expedite the language-learning process. I also recommend you read the news from time to time. Websites such as the BBC are a gold mine for English learners. Find the equivalent of the BBC or NPR in your target language. News bulletins usually contain common words, no slang, and some of them can be particularly interesting, especially tabloids if you're into gossiping. May your language-learning goals become a reality!

Start Using DVDs to Learn Languages! Part 2

As I said some time ago, DVDs are great tools to learn languages. As long as you watch the DVD in your foreign language, you are making progress. That's the beauty of it-- you can just sit back and relax. You don't have to study your foreign language actively.

However, what do you do if you don't speak your foreign language much? Let's say you're a beginner in French and you want to learn vocabulary fast. Well, first of all, you should pick a movie you know well.
That will make things easier for you.
Then, you should only watch the movie you picked for a few minutes every day.

If you're still having trouble understanding the movie in French, get a French dictionary. Look up some words each time you watch the movie, and you'll become better and better at French.

Why Sticky Notes Are Useful for Learning Foreign Languages

Welcome to Fluent Language. If you like this article, please be social! The social sharing icons are above this post.

Sticky notes (or Post-Its) are useful for learning foreign languages because you can stick them everywhere. I suggest you cover your walls with them if you want to learn your new language fast!
Draw on them, write sentences and cool words on them, and replace them often.
If you haven't made new ones lately, move around the old sticky notes so that your eyes don't get accustomed to seeing them in the same place.
If you like lying on your bed, you could also invest in a poster for your ceiling.
Sticking notes onto your computer is also a good idea if you use the internet a lot.
Use sticky notes to review difficult words, especially the ones that you always fail to remember when you're going over your flash cards.

It's okay if you don't have Post-its: just take a piece of paper and some sticky tape. I suggest you decorate the fridge and/or the bathroom mirror to start!
