How do you build a language learning routine?
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2018 9:09 pm
Hi guys
I am sure you have heard this question many times before but I am going to ask it anyway.
I have a couple of goals I want to hit and I am trying to build a language routine to do at least something every day but I keep falling of the wagon.
I am learning Polish and I hope to get to at least a B2 level before going to a friends wedding next year. I have some previous knowledge and experience with Polish but it feels like I am missing something because despite all the effort I put in I don't seem to get anywhere. At present Polish is my primary language and I want to improve it the most .
I am also learning German for a variety of reasons such as I want to go to Germany and visit , I enjoy the language and although it sounds a bit strange something keeps drawing me back to the language.
I am keeping the 2 language apart in terms of routine and workload. I learn German in the mornings using Assimil utilising my "dead time" and not doing much else other than the 1 lesson per day. I feel this is fair as German is in my view my secondary language (not as much of a priority as Polish) but I still want to begin building the foundations while I can. On the other hand I learn Polish in the evenings and work on more demanding material as to push up my language abilities and stretch and challenge ,my mind to improve.
I also have begun working on BSL (British Sign Language) as a professional endeavour. Has anybody else expedience leaning a sign language , and if so what is it like, is it difficult?
Hopefully you guys will have some advice ,hints , tips and resources for me.
Hope to hear from you guys soon
