If you're not having fun, you're not learning. There's a pleasure in finding things out.

What’s the point of learning a language? For me, it’s feeling European in a flat in Spain, an exchange in a Croatian supermarket, a conversation in a Portuguese taxi, a moment of belonging far from home. Every language I learn changes how I see the world, and my place in it.

When I was at school, German was the exciting new language you got to learn as well as French. It added Germany, Austria & Switzerland to your orbit. It brought Dutch, Swedish & Danish into view. It had words that looked like English. German was cool then and it still is today.

COOK IN YOUR TL Choose recipes from the culture associated with the language you're studying. Read the recipe, ingredient names, and cooking instructions in the target language. You'll pick up new vocab as well as verbs you wouldn't otherwise have learnt

Read texts appropriate for your level Listen to podcasts ABOVE your level It can be a massive drag to have to look up a word every other word, it'll put you off reading Listening is different - you can listen without understanding everything without getting bored

German makes sense of 'sing & sang', 'man & men' & opens up Old English, Swedish, Dutch & even Icelandic. It's the 12th most spoken language in the world, an official language of 6 countries & a key language of science, engineering & diplomacy. Why learn German? Take your pick.

Just had a very depressing Dutch lesson; now I feel like giving up entirely and just sticking to hand gestures and Google Translate 😭 I had been feeling quite pleased with my progress, but now I’m just overwhelmed by how much I don’t know ☹️ #langtwt

If I tell myself that I have 15 minutes to prepare an English lesson, I'll get it done in 15 minutes. If I tell myself I have a whole day to do it - you guessed it - I will mysteriously spend the entire day preparing that bloody same lesson.

Something that often gets overlooked Is how much easier and fun travelling becomes once you speak the local language You can use English to survive (most of the time) But you will only THRIVE when you learn the local lingo Dew it!

“Language is tied to identity. You don't have to give up your identity of who you are in order to learn English.” says newcomers teacher Efraín Tovar.

Making Space for Native Languages in Newcomer Classrooms

When English language learners are given consistent opportunities to practice their home languages in class, their English proficiency flourishes—along with their sense of belonging and identity.

Rap is today's equivalent of people a hundred years ago walking around reciting poetry. A Martian anthropologist would process no difference between the girl cherishing her Edna St. Vincent Millay in 1925 and the girl cherishing her Kendrick Lamar today.

With the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, @JohnHMcWhorter writes, “America is celebrating more than just a musical form. It’s celebrating the moment when rap gave America back its poetry.” nyti.ms/3KQtVYT

Fluency means being comfortable speaking a language and making the listeners comfortable in a wide variety of situations. This means words, vocabulary, comprehension. They are the conditions for developing fluency. ow.ly/Yuo050OhQp1

Learning a foreign language as an adult is the best personal development course you can take The amount of people I have seen completely transform after working 1-1 with me has been crazy! Respect to all who take up the challenge

"I can't get motivated to study" You can never force yourself to be get motivated You must realise that motivation is related to: move, motor, motive... You are motivated when you are moving So just move in the direction of your goal Be in motion and you'll be motivated

The Uber driver I just had (from Uzbekistan) went from super silent in English to the friendliest guy in the world in Russian. Language unlocks so much, it's a beautiful thing.
