4. Effective methods of learning foreign languages ​​for beginners

4.1. Start with listening and speaking skills

This is true no matter what language it is. When starting to learn, you need to invest a lot of time listening to native speakers, as well as imitating their use of words. This also helps you quickly form a response to the new language.

4.2. Learn every day

Studying for hours on end but with a frequency of just once a week won’t be as effective as studying for 15 minutes a day. Studying every day helps you to remember for a long time, continuously consolidate the knowledge you have learned and form a study habit.

4.3. Review new vocabulary

After learning a new word, you can still remember it the next day, but after a week without reviewing it, you will most likely forget it. Reviewing vocabulary will help stimulate information in short-term memory and move to long-term memory. Therefore, planning to learn and review new words periodically is very necessary.

4.4. Study before sleep

During sleep, some information in the short-term memory area will be transferred to the long-term memory area. So before going to bed or taking a nap, you can spend time learning a foreign language by watching, listening to materials, reading books or learning vocabulary.
