Language people! Does anyone use Twitter / X anymore? Interact with this post so I know who is still alive I might get back to tweeting, or is it 'xeeting', now? Peace

You do not need to try to remember words In fact, the harder you try the tougher it'll be to do so Just focus on creating an environment where it is easy for your brain to remember Relaxed Calm Fun This is how you get fluent in a language

You won't get fluent if you keep bashing yourself for forgetting words Even jokingly saying 'oh I should remember this' is problematic Why? Because you kick yourself out of the flow state Fluency is FLOWency Ignore all negative thoughts and keep it rolling

You will never speak a language perfectly, So stop trying. Just enjoy the process of learning. This joy is the secret that will get you to fluency

Consistency is King in the language learning game 👑 You don't need to smash out 6 hour study sessions to get fluent Just remember this: A podcast a day and fluency will stay!

Unpopular opinion (maybe) If you don't have at least 3 solid reasons to learn a language Don't bother starting

It PAINS me to see learners waste so much time on certain language learning apps (No need to name names) These apps will NOT get you fluent in a language All they give is an illusion of progress that can do more harm than good if that's all you rely on Spend more time LISTENING to the language and SPEAKING it with a tutor This is how you learn languages

I can't bare to think what life would be like not being able to speak multiple languages Being able to communicate in various tongues brings such a richness to one's world Forever grateful to have given myself such a gift

Unless you master listening You will always struggle to get fluent in a foreign language Some are naturally good at it, for those who aren't, it is a skill that can easily be learnt

I got good at rolling my Rs in Spanish when I stopped worrying about not being able to do it Best thing that happened to me was having the p*ss taken out of me (made fun of) by my Spanish roommates for not being able to say: "El perro de San Roque no tiene rabo, porque Ramón Ramírez se lo ha cortado" It got a right giggle out of them every time I attempted it, and on each attempt, I got a bit better. Now, I have ZERO issues doing the Spanish R The lesson? Lean in.

You don't get fluent in a foreign language by trying to memorise word lists You get fluent by listening and repeating Don't overcomplicate a simple process

Just done a French / English exchange Think I've fallen in love with French all over again 😍 It is SUCH a rich language, with epic, ever-evolving slang expressions Damn, I might have to plan a little voyage to France 🇫🇷

Just dreamt in French for the first time in ages To my knowledge I've not been speaking more French than usual, so no idea where it came from I dreamt I was somewhere in Africa, doing some shopping, taking an Uber... Linguists/ Geeks, any ideas why this happens out of the blue?!

I had an amazing 6 months in Brazil - with a two week trip to Peru thrown in I really can't imagine what it would have been like if I didn't speak Portuguese and Spanish The people I met, the connections I made... Would NOT have been possible without speaking foreign languages Add some depth to your travelling experiences and get fluent in foreign languages. In 2025, it's easier than ever (when you know how) I'll be back posting more language learning tips on here so FOLLOW for more. Blessings to you all
