This material was sent to us by our regular reader Sanzhar Surshanov (his Twitter is @SanzharS), who shared very interesting ways to learn a new language for you.
Since the beginning of this year I started learning French. I do this with the help of the English language, since I began to speak English confidently, one might say I found the key to numerous Internet resources.
Below I would like to list and describe how I learn French:
1. Duolingo
The site was founded by the creators of CAPTCHA and RECAPTCHA, students of Carnegie Mellon University. By the way, every time you enter recaptcha, you help digitize thousands of old books. The main idea is for people to simultaneously learn languages and translate the Internet into different languages.
All material is divided into different categories.
After you finish the exercises, you will be given real material taken from the Internet for translation. At first simple sentences, as you study, more and more complex. By translating sentences you strengthen your knowledge and help translate web pages. You can also look at the translations of other users.
Exercises include text translation, speaking, listening. There is no emphasis on grammar as such.
In addition to French, you can study Spanish, German, English, Italian and Portuguese.
Audio lessons go like this: 2 students come to him who don’t know French. It turns out that you become the 3rd student. Michelle talks to the students and this is how they learn the language. He explains the difference between English and French, first talks about new words, then asks to translate from English into French.
The main difference and rule of the Michel method is no need to try to memorize words, phrases, etc.
I don’t know how to explain, but after the first lesson, on an intuitive level, you yourself begin to guess how it will be in the language you are learning.
I personally really like this method.
3. Memrise
To improve my vocabulary, I use the memrise website.
You can find a lot of different courses on the site, you can even learn Morse code. I'm learning - Hacking French.
By learning new words, you are “growing flowers.” Plant seeds, water, etc.
The main trick is that you create memes for unfamiliar words and make an association with English language. I did not create the memes themselves; I use the creations of other users.
You grow flowers something like this: first, remember the meaning of the words, then repeat them several times. Click on the correct answer, write the translation yourself, and while listening to the phrase, select the correct answer from the list. This ends the first part.
After 4-5 hours, you receive a notification via email that you need to repeat what you have covered. Repeat the above; if you make a mistake in the translation, the word is repeated. This is roughly how it all happens.
