5 Tips to Reach Intermediate Level in 34 Languages
Are you feeling confident as a beginner-level language learner? Are you ready to move up to the intermediate level? Here are some tips to help you make that leap and advance your language learning progress.
Afrikaans       Arabic       Bulgarian       Cantonese
Chinese       Czech       Danish       Dutch       English
Filipino       Finnish       French       German       Greek
Hebrew       Hindi       Hungarian       Indonesian       Italian
Japanese       Korean       Norwegian       Persian       Polish
Portuguese       Romanian       Russian       Spanish       Swahili
Swedish       Thai       Turkish       Urdu       Vietnamese
Tumblr media
1: Determine Your Skill Level
It’s important to look across your skills in the major language competencies: Listening, speaking, writing, and reading. By taking our level assessment test, you can review your skills in each competency and see your strengths and weaknesses. Keep in mind it's normal to be better in some skills than others.
Premium PLUS users can take our level assessment test and get personalized recommendations and learning pathways based on your results. Once you’ve figured out which skills need work, it’s time to take action.
No matter which of your language skills need to be improved, make sure you choose a method that’s both effective and fun to help maintain your regular learning routine.
2: Listening
The most effective way to build your listening comprehension is by building a strong vocabulary. The more vocabulary you master, the easier it will be to understand the context and details of the conversation.
Songs in the target language are a key listening tool that will teach you common, everyday vocabulary. By learning and memorizing the lyrics, you are building up your vocabulary.
If you really want your listening skills to take off, listen to our podcasts. We have hundreds of hours of audio lessons for you to listen to. Before you know it, you’ll be able to understand shows and movies!
3: Speaking
Add speaking elements to your language routine. Try “shadowing” podcasts, repeating along while you listen.
Match the native speaker's pronunciation and intonation. This is a fantastic way to improve your fluency and accuracy. You can also find a partner for conversation exchange. A partner can help correct your mistakes and teach you more natural ways to phrase your ideas.
4: Writing
An easy way to start writing more often is by keeping a one-sentence journal. Write one sentence in a journal every day. It does not take a lot of time, and is a great habit for beginners to build a routine.
You have to be consistent to make improvements! Ask native speakers to correct your writing to improve even faster! You can submit sentences and phrases to your teacher using Premium PLUS.
5: Reading
Reading is a skill you can improve by yourself.
There's no need to rush. It doesn’t matter if you read 1 or 100 pages at a time. What matters is that you understand what you read.
Write down new words as you read them to practice later. If there is an audio version, read along with the narrator. It will help you read at a slightly faster speed than normal. You can use the audio that comes with each of our lessons.
Bonus Tip: Never Give Up
Where do your language skills currently stand? Where do you want them to be? How do you get there?
Whatever your goal is, make it clear and part of your life. You’ll reach it if you stay focused and positive.
And if you really want your skills to take off, make use of our tools and resources. They are designed to help you get to the next level in the fastest, easiest and most fun way! Just click the link in the description to sign up for a FREE lifetime account.

Avoid these 5 Common Mistakes Made by Beginners
If you’ve had a negative experience learning a new language at one point and time, don’t let that discourage you from trying again. The truth is that learning any language is never easy, but it’s definitely possible. Sometimes the difference between success and failure has less to do with your abilities or talents, and a lot more to do with the way you look at things.
Afrikaans       Arabic       Bulgarian       Cantonese
Chinese       Czech       Danish       Dutch       English
Filipino       Finnish       French       German       Greek
Hebrew       Hindi       Hungarian       Indonesian       Italian
Japanese       Korean       Norwegian       Persian       Polish
Portuguese       Romanian       Russian       Spanish       Swahili
Swedish       Thai       Turkish       Urdu       Vietnamese
1. Listen before you speak
Being slow to speak and quick to listen is good life advice whether or not you’re learning a foreign language. Effective listening is essential to communication. As a beginner there is a tendency to concentrate so much on what you’re going to say and how you’re going to say it, that you can completely miss the meaning or heart of what the other person is trying to communicate.
Not only will this impair your ability to listen in your target language, but it will also stall what little conversation you had going. Remember that conversations are a two-way street. If you’re speaking more than listening then you actually have more of a monologue on your hands rather than a dialogue.
The inputs of language learning, listening, and reading, are just as important as the outputs, speaking and writing. For beginners, inputs are even more crucial, as they are the main way you acquire new vocabulary. I’ll even go so far to say that for new students the best method for learning involves more listening than it does speaking. Though that may change with higher proficiency levels.
2. Don’t be embarrassed when you do speak
Peoples' next mistake usually comes from the other side of the spectrum, where new learners are too scared or embarrassed to contribute to a conversation. The fear of making mistakes and embarrassing yourself can paralyze your language learning.
It’s vital to remember that everyone makes mistakes. Even native speakers had to find their way through the language when they were children.
Making mistakes while learning a new language is inevitable, but it’s also a good thing. The faster you make mistakes, the quicker you can correct them and move on with your learning. So instead of being afraid to make mistakes, try looking at them as steps toward progress. In reality that’s what they really are.
3. Don’t major on minors
If taken in all at once a new language can feel overwhelming to learn. It’s so easy to get discouraged by all your little mistakes and conversational mishaps that you lose sight of the progress you’re making. In addition to mistakes you’ll also come across plateaus, where you study and practice consistently but don’t see any results for a significant amount of time. But whether you face errors or plateaus remember that these things are minor obstacles on the road to fluency. 
Your biggest obstacle always is not to give up and stick with it.
If you stay persistent your mistakes will be corrected and your abilities will improve, but if you slow down or throw in the towel completely; then you will either subvert your progress or nix it altogether. So remember that as long as you’re still studying and learning the language you can’t lose.
It might feel like you’re losing the battle for language learning for a little while but hang in there.
A practical way to help you stay motivated is to make small weekly goals. Research shows that goal-setting has a significant impact on learning. Try picking one aspect of grammar or a collection of new words or phrases to study for the next 7 days. At the end of the week check your progress and measure your success. Setting little benchmarks like this will give you a rightful sense of accomplishment.
4. Remember that immersion isn’t magical
A lot of people think that by moving to a foreign country they will learn the language by osmosis.
But whether you learn abroad or at home you still need to study and practice the language. Living in a new country gives you way more opportunities to do this than staying at home, but if you don’t consciously take advantage of these opportunities while living abroad it won’t benefit your language learning.
If you’re an expat living in a foreign country there is a natural inclination to hang around other expats. Learning a language and living in a foreign culture is hard and uncomfortable.
For better or worse we’re often drawn to the easier road. If you made the decision to study abroad then you want to hang out with native speaking people as much as possible. You have the rest of your life to be with people who speak your language. This doesn’t mean ignoring your expat friends. Just be sure that you’re giving proper attention to your language learning.
5. Be open-minded
Languages are better lived than they are learned.
When learning Turkish your English speaking brain will want to confirm the new grammar and vocabulary to your native language norms and grammar rules. Ignore your brain on this one. At first you might feel completely wrong saying a sentence that is in fact correct. After a certain point in language learning there is a switch that goes off, when your brain finally realizes that you’re not speaking your native language but a new one altogether. This could take a while though, especially if this is your first time learning a new language. Until then do what you know is correct even if it feels a bit weird when you say it.
The same goes for culture. Just as you want to open to the differences in the language, don’t forget to be open to the differences in the culture too.
I hope this post helped you shift your thinking and approach learning language in a way that will help you become fluent faster. And that you’ll learn to enjoy the journey toward fluency and savor the language for its own sake, that’s probably the biggest language learning secret there is!

Benefits (& risks) of dating in a foreign language! + tips to make it work
Being able to speak freely with native speakers is an amazing ability in itself, but being able to speak freely to a whole new group of people opens you up to possible new relationships. 
Most people don’t realize that spending the time to build relationships in a foreign language can actually help you improve your language skills dramatically.
Afrikaans       Arabic      Bulgarian       Cantonese
Chinese       Czech       Danish       Dutch       English
Filipino       Finnish       French       German      Greek     
Hebrew       Hindi       Hungarian       Indonesian       Italian
Japanese       Korean       Norwegian       Persian       Polish
Portuguese       Romanian       Russian       Spanish       Swahili
Swedish       Thai       Turkish       Urdu       Vietnamese
Tumblr media
1. Benefits of dating in a foreign language
First, It’s motivational
One of the greatest struggles for anyone learning a second language is motivation. Nine times out of ten, learners start out their language learning journey with loads of enthusiasm; only to see it gradually wane over time. Try as they may it’s difficult to maintain the spark they once shared with their new language.
So why not borrow energy from a different part of your life?
When you make relationships with people in your target language all the excitement of a new relationship carries directly over into your learning.
Second, It makes language learning practical
Studying vocabulary and grammar is a vital part of language learning whether you use a podcast, textbook, app, or find yourself in a classroom. However, as great as studying is, a language really only starts to come alive once you start using it in everyday life.
Building relationships with native speakers will give you the chance to talk in your target language often. Furthermore it will be in a way that feels natural. You’ll learn words in the context, which is hugely important.
Third, It's fun.
One of the greatest benefits is that it allows you practice without having it feel like practice.
Often times you’ll find yourself so wrapped up in the conversation that you forget you’re using a foreign language. This takes a lot of the pressure off, and helps you focus on communication over trying to speak absolutely perfectly.
You also get to learn about a whole new culture from your partner or friends so you are not only learning language skills but also about the cultures that surround your target language.
2. The risks of dating in a foreign language
First, It’s easy to miscommunicate
When it comes to relationships, people can easily misunderstand each other. So it can be hard when building relationships in your target language when you or your partner's lack of ability in each other’s respective native tongue can lead to miscommunications that would otherwise be avoidable.
Second, Your language skills could suffer if your relationships don't work out
If all your language practice is wrapped in one person, and your relationship with that person doesn’t work out, then your language learning could take a huge hit. So it's best not to put all your hopes for language growth on one area, relationship or otherwise. You don't want to risk losing motivation, so try to find it in many different areas.
3. An idea for building relationships in a foreign language
Make Games out of getting to know one another
Sometimes opening up in any relationship can be hard. Add in the added struggle of a new language and it can feel impossible to share your true feelings with others.
So instead of trying to take first interactions so seriously and talking about the usual things like the weather or work, try to ask new interesting questions.
Try to figure out what the other person's hobbies are without asking directly. Or what kind of job they have. This will give you a chance to stretch your language skills in a new way and you will probably get some funny answers out of it too. Being comfortable being silly or making language mistakes is a great way to bond with someone even if you have just met.
Relationships in a foreign language have a lot more benefits to offer than it does drawbacks. Don't be scared to open up to people and make mistakes.

Saying words out loud while comparing yourself to a native speaker is the best way to improve your pronunciation.
8. Prepare for daily routine situations.
9. Try to practice your speaking with a native speaker.

10. Know your audience.
This is especially important for languages like Japanese, Korean etc. where the register changes dramatically depending on who you are talking to.
11. Ask for feedback and reflect on it.
If you try our Premium Plus membership a remote teacher will be ready to give you honest and constructive feedback.
12. Avoid reading directly, try to use an outline.
13. Shadow language CDs, then repeat what you heard.
14. Keep practicing regularly, otherwise your hard work will be wasted.
Practice, practice, practice! Your knowledge will move from short to long-term memory.
15. Don't give up and stay positive!

1) Read books, Comics, Webtoons, Articles Online..
There is something for everyone, you don’t have to read a newspaper everyday if that bores you. Pick the content that keeps you engaged!
2) Use the time while on public transport or waiting.
Idle time is actually a gift if you think about it. It allows you to dedicate a short but comfortable amount of time on reading or reviewing every day that keeps your memory sharp.
3) Prepare the best possible conditions for reading with a good chair, enough light, and so on.
4) Pick books and texts suitable for your level
A lot of learners make this mistake. They either choose something that’s too advanced and that will discourage them until they quit learning or they safely pick an easy read that is good for their self esteem but does not challenge them to learn anything new.
5) Learn to read as fast as possible.
Speed reading helps you focus, improves your memory, boosts your confidence and improves logical thinking.
6) Slow down your reading and try to think about the text and its meaning.
7) Summarize what you read after you finish reading a text.
This will reinforce comprehension and practice what you have read while sticking it to your memory.
8) Have your (online) dictionary ready to help improve your vocabulary.
9) Set up a schedule & set up small goals for your reading practice.
Even 10 minutes a day can make a difference!
10) Practice reading each day regularly!

10 Ways to Learn 34 Languages in No time
Have you ever wondered how some people can learn a language in one week? 
Well, most polyglots—people who speak several languages—start speaking new languages quickly thanks to a few but powerful tips.
Afrikaans       Arabics       Bulgarian       Cantonese
Chinese       Czech       Danish       Dutch       English
Filipino       Finnish       French       German       Greek
Hebrew       Hindi       Hungarian       Indonesian
Italian       Japanese       Korean       Norwegian
Persian       Polish       Portuguese       Romanian
Russian       Spanish       Swahili       Swedish
Thai       Turkish       Urdu       Vietnamese
Tumblr media
1. Connect with language partners online.
One of the most common (and cheapest) language-learning tricks is to simply build a learning relationship with a native speaker of your target language; perhaps with someone who is also interested in learning your mother tongue.
2. Work on your Pronunciation.
A great way to correctly pronounce words in your chosen language is to use a voice dictionary. This will allow you to listen to automatic audio pronunciations of all the new expressions you learn.
3. Have a go-to Dictionary App.
Not only will a dictionary help you become successful in your chosen language, but it will also lift the vocabulary weight right off your shoulders. You will start to contextualize every word you use and train your brain to use it in real-life situations.
5. Use the Spaced Repetition Algorithm for memorization.
The Spaced Repetition Algorithm is proven to be more effective than traditional memorization methods. Using spaced repetition to learn new vocabulary words increases your ability to remember information in the long-term.
On our site you can use flashcards to improve your vocabulary skills. These flashcards will repeat as you need them so you can check back on words you have studied in 3 days, then 7, and then maybe 14 so you don't forget them.
6. Listen to audio clips in your chosen language.
Studies have shown that being exposed to any language's audio, even if you don’t understand what’s being said, can “make a huge difference” as it helps your brain adapt to new pronunciations and grammar structures.
You can get started on this without audio lessons. On our sites you will find clips recorded by native-speaking language teachers, along with flashcards, grammar explanations, cultural insights and much more for all your listening study needs.
7. Study grammar, only when necessary.
Most of us have studied at least one language at school, yet we are still unable to speak them. Why? Because academic systems are not built to teach you fluency and speaking, but they are built to teach you grammar for tests. Instead, to keep up motivation and see real results it's better to focus on the practical side of languages, real-life conversations. Learning the necessary grammar will then come progressively.
Keep a daily journal using the foreign vocabulary words you learned throughout the day. You can then ask your tutor, or teacher to correct your writing and spot any grammar rules you might have missed.
8. Take private language lessons online.
Worried about losing motivation while learning a foreign language? Then working 1 on 1 with a teacher is a must.
Let’s be honest: private language lessons are the only way someone will be truly disappointed when you do not finish your assignment. Your private tutor is focused on you and your language education, and not juggling at least a dozen students in multiple classes. Without that central focus, you might not learn your target language as fast as you can.
9. Change your language settings on your devices.
We spend a huge amount of time interacting with technology. Phones, computers, TV. To make the most out of the time you devote to these devices, a great idea is to switch your language settings to the language you’re learning.
At the beginning, you might need to translate a substantial amount of words into your native language to move on with almost everything you do, but since most of us know where certain apps and settings are located, you will slowly but surely start to memorize new vocabulary words
10. Stop worrying about making mistakes.
One of the biggest errors that can significantly slow you down is worrying about making mistakes.
To break this barrier, you might consider telling your language partners and teachers that you are open to any feedback or corrections on your grammar structure and pronunciation. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, you will learn from your mistakes and the feedback you get from them. Because of this you will be much less likely to make those mistakes in the future.

Tips & Tricks to Learning a Language at Home
Set up Successful Goals:
What are Successful Goals? They are Small. Measurable. Realistic.
- Small: so as not to overwhelm yourself
- Measurable: so that you know when you can reach it and set a timeline
- Realistic: Easy enough to fit into your daily schedule
The number one reason why most language learners fail is because they set huge, vague goals like “I want to be fluent” or “I want to speak.” Oh, yeah? By when? Let’s see an examples of “good” goals:
• Learn 100 new words by the end of this month. Deadline: April 30th.
Now that you have a Goal and a Deadline you can adjust your routine by splitting 100 words in 5 words a day for 5 days of the week or 3-4 words a day every day for example.
•What if you fail? Don’t beat yourself up. Aim Lower. Start Again!
