Contrary to popular opinion, the best way to learn a new language is not to speak it. Yes, as unbelievable as that sounds, speaking too much of a new language too soon may lead to you having problems mastering the language in the long run. Some experts say this affects the learning of new words and leads to a limited vocabulary and grammar. You don’t want that, right?

Instead here are 3 easy ways to learn a new language fast:

1. Read translated books to get a feel for the language. Really devour the books until you feel like you know the language inside out! Also, if you only want to master a few key phrases, books are a good choice. Use a notebook to take down notes so you can remember better.

2. Listen to audio courses of the language. Hearing a translator speak it to you really helps in memory retention. Most experts say that it helps speed up the learning process.

3. Use a dual-language dictionary whenever you need to find out a word of the language you want to learn. But, don’t use it yet! Instead try to remember it clearly first.

One of the myths of learning a new language is that you have to speak it a lot at the beginning. That is not true. It is better to learn through materials like books and audio courses first, so that you feel comfortable and immersed in the language. This is the real way to acquire proficiency in any language you choose to learn.
