Language Learning Strategy

(Taken from https://youtu.be/_wYjXdt4a2I?is=u7sqeFtq9w4dgr_- )

1. Build your sentence list (Language Island)
   • Create your language islands
     • Create a list of every sentence you would actually need to say in real life.
     • what do you talk about at home, at work, with friends, etc.
     • What do you ask for at stores, etc.
     • What are your hobbies and opinions?
     • What stories do you normally tell?
   • How to do it:
     • use a text to speech app and narrate your life from day to day.
     • You will have few thousand sentences that are phases that you actually use every day.
2. Listening and Shadowing:
   • Take the sentences that you have created an audio file. (https://freetts.com/text-to-speech)
   • Listen to those sentences on repeat.
   • Shadowing means repeating what you hear out loud at the same time. You are training your mouth to say the same sounds that you are hearing.
3. Active Recall
   • Defined: Active recall means that you are forcing your brain to produce the language from scratch.
   • Look at your English Sentences and try to say it out loud in the target language. You need to be able to work through the struggle, this is what makes the brain grow.
   • Practice using your language as you go throughout your day.
