How to learn a new language as an adult
Learning a new language can be a tough challenge at any age. However, it seems to be exceptionally difficult to get the hang of a foreign tongue as we age.
It’s about connection.
It’s important to remember that learning a language is not really about learning a language.
Watching TV shows in another language is an excellent way to get used to hearing a foreign tongue spoken in real-time.
Patience is key.
While you are learning, be patient with yourself. Learn to love your progress and celebrate your successes. Did you know the word “piano” means “piano”, “slow” and “quiet” in Italian? Adding a single new word to your vocabulary can be so beautiful and rewarding.
