What are the best books on learning foreign languages

What are the best books on learning foreign languages



You know how important it is to learn a new language these days. There’s no point to me making the case that a second language can have tremendous impacts on your physical, mental and financial health—since you’ve already made the big decision to start studying.
Now you’re really at the initial stages of your language acquisition journey.
So, what to do? What to do?
Lucky for you, this post deals with how to start your language journey right. And let me tell you right now—your journey should begin with the books that I’m going to be introducing to you.
You might want to say, “Whoa, books? Aren’t I better off with some cool app or an online immersion course or something?”
And to that I’d say, “Yes, books. Because they’re going to put everything—the online course, the app, the practice sessions—into proper perspective.”
In fact, why don’t I tell you right now why it’s important to read a book about general language learning.

How to Learn a Language Fast

  How to Learn a Language Fast



1. Put Yourself in a Situation Where Growth Is Inevitable
If you give yourself an option of using your language skills, chances are you will choose to not use them. Our brain will instinctively choose the decision that is simple and requires less thought. Like acquiring any new skill, learning a new language is going to require strong will. You must consciously lock yourself outside your comfort zone and not allow yourself to step back inside it for a while. It’s not an easy decision, and may require some creative thought, but the results are well worth the effort.

Many people say the best way to learn a new language is by living in the country—this is not true! More often than not, when you are in that country, the natives will want to practice their English skills when they see you. We live in a world where English is a desirable and lucrative skill to have, so most foreign countries will have an English-speaking population, especially around the larger cities. In this situation, growth is not inevitable; it is still optional.

But is it truly possible to keep ourselves in a situation where we have no choice but to use our language skills? Yes!

When I moved to China, I was assigned to work at a school in a less industrialized part of the Shenzhen. Although it was a city of over 12 million people, it was rare to find any Chinese people fluent in English. Most of the time, I was the only foreigner within a given 5-mile radius. This was insanely frustrating at first, but it forced me to start learning the language. If I wanted to order food at a restaurant or find my way around the city, I had to start communicating with the locals. Within a few weeks, I acquired dozens of new, useful phrases that may have taken me months to learn otherwise.

Not living abroad? No problem! There are still plenty of ways to make learning unavoidable. Some of these might include switching your cell phone or social media to the language you are studying, committing yourself to a language group or finding a conversation partner. You can even try visual cues by taping a list of new words to your bathroom and kitchen walls.

You might also want to consider checking out Olly Richard’s Language Learning Foundations video course, which helps solve the commitment problem by walking you through the immediate concerns of learning a language to fluency. It’s applicable to any language, but you’ll receive specific guidance, including “homework” to keep you on your toes.

By forcing yourself into such situations where you must use your target language, you’re guaranteed to learn faster.

2. Value Fluency over Accuracy
Another way to learn at a more rapid pace is to value fluency over accuracy, which is one of the most difficult, yet powerful concepts to comprehend. First, let’s clarify what I mean by “fluency” and “accuracy.”

Fluency is the ability to express oneself easily and articulately. It means using the language smoothly in real time.

Accuracy, on the other hand, is the ability to be correct and precise. It means communicating without any grammatical, vocabulary, tonal and other errors.

Yes, these two are distinct entities. You can be fluent in a language without having 100% accuracy. Alternatively, you can have language accuracy while still not being anywhere near fluent. The ultimate goal when learning a new language is to use it fluently, not accurately.

This does mean we should forget the importance of accuracy. Yes, you may have slip-ups when using your new language, and that’s okay. Think about times when you didn’t accurately follow the rules of your native language, but you were still perfectly understood by others. It happens more than we realize.

When beginning to learn a new language, resist the urge to start learning as many words as possible. Resist the urge to say each sentence perfectly. Language cannot be learned from a textbook alone. Instead, focus on learning practical, colloquial topics and work your way up from there. You’ll save yourself a lot of time and stress.

3. Replace Cramming with Spaced Repetition Software
In Mandarin, there’s the saying: 好好学习天天向上 which means, “Study hard every day and you will improve.” But is it really that simple?

When you do study on your own, it can be tempting to try cramming loads of new vocabulary into our brains and then waiting a while before we study again. While this may be effective in the short term, it is ultimately not the way to develop a long-lasting memory.

Treat learning a new language different than you would studying for an exam. There are more effective ways to memorize information that improve the likeliness of long-term learning, such as spaced repetition software (SRS). SRS are computer programs modeled after a process similar to using flashcards. These flashcards are generated by sophisticated algorithms that space out the time intervals indicated when each card will appear again on the screen.

In other words, easier cards appear less frequently that harder cards, allowing users to spend more time studying the cards that are more difficult. The tough ones continue showing up until they are mastered, giving you the chance to actively learn them more efficiently than other learning styles.

By replacing cramming with spaced repetition softwares, you’ll be saving yourself lots of studying time, and thus learn faster.

Once you start using SRS, finding quality learning examples and sentences are going to become a chore.

After all, it’s not enough to just memorize a lot of words.

What you really need is a nuanced understanding of them, and you can only get that from actual examples.

If you know what I mean, you’ll want to check out FluentU, the best way to learn a language with real-world videos. FluentU takes real-world videos like music videos, movie trailers, news, and inspiring talks, and turns them into language learning experiences. There is a video-based review “learn mode”, which of course has an SRS feature.

FluentU has a wide variety of videos like movie trailers, funny commercials and web series.

FluentU has interactive captions that let you tap on any word to see an image, definition, audio and useful examples. Now native language content is within reach with interactive transcripts.

Start using FluentU on the website with your computer or tablet or, better yet, download the FluentU app from the iTunes store.

4. Find a Language Partner

There’s no shame in asking someone else for help. So do it! Asking for help is an action you should be proud of. It shows you take your learning seriously and will do whatever it takes to become a master in your desired skill.
With that said, having the support of another person will accelerate your learning immensely. No matter what stage you are at in learning your new language, find someone who is also trying to learn the language. Schedule times to meet up and share any progress and offer feedback for one another. Exchange resources or tips that have been helpful to you.
This can also be a great time to practice your skills with each other. Best of all, you can set goals and hold each other accountable to completing them by the next time you meet.

5. Learn from (and Celebrate) Every Mistake

If you are living in an environment that allows you to practice your new language, congrats! Now get ready to make a lot of mistakes. It’s best to leave your ego out of the situation when doing something as difficult as learning a new language. Leave any desires for perfection and any fears of judgment at the door.
You can be the smartest person in the world, but if you are stubborn or defensive, you’ll shield yourself from endless opportunities for growth. Keep in mind that many natives will be grateful and appreciative of your attempt to learn such an important part of their culture. Congratulate yourself for even the smallest mistakes because it means you are trying.
As you go about your day-to-day life and practice using your new language, resist the urge to judge each conversation as a success or failure. It’s tempting to be our own worst critic and beat ourselves up for not remembering a particular word or knowing how to clearly express a thought. Instead, approach each interaction as a new opportunity for you to learn something.
Reflect on each conversation and give yourself constructive feedback. Some things you might want to think about are:
  • What words/phrase would have served me in that conversation?
  • What new words did I hear/see?
  • How could I more effectively have a similar conversation in the future?
When you start embracing the ups and downs of the learning process, you’ll better enjoy and appreciate the journey, which sets yourself up for more learning opportunities.
Remember, the success comes from the simple fact that you are trying. Use these tips and you’ll be well on your way to learning a new language with grace, speed and ease. Good luck!

If you have frequently searched for ways to make money online, then I bet that you must have come across flattering ads like- ‘make $400 by working for just 3 hours from home’. These ads and sites are designed to attract people and dupe them later. Such sites make visitors believe that making money on Internet is very easy.

In reality, it is takes some effort to earn money online. First of all, you must find genuine sites and sources to earn money on Internet. After that, you must set a ‘financial goal’, like- earn 100$ in a month. Once you set your ‘goal’, it is time to work hard and achieve it. There are enough genuine sources on Internet that will enable you to achieve your financial goals!

Like Listverse, Knowledgenuts also has a good ‘Write and get paid’ plan. For each accepted article, the site pays you $10. The payment will be made through PayPal. Visit the site and go through the rules and regulations before you submit an article.

Clixsense.com is a well known PTC (Paid To Click) site. You can earn money from this site in two ways- by clicking and viewing ads on the site and by referring people to the site.

Clixsense is a trusted site when to comes to payment. Payment options include PayPal, Payza and bank cheques.

The above mentioned sites are good sources to make money. But to earn a decent income, you must put dedicated effort. I recommend readers to visit these sites and carefully go through their rules, regulations and guidelines. Stay away from scams, there are lots of them out there! Only get involved in legit activities. If you want to add more reliable sites to this list, mention them in comments.

MORE BONUS SITES! (UPDATE)


Wondering how YouTube can help you make money? YouTube has this fantastic revenue sharing program that you are unaware of! If you make good videos, all following the guidelines set up by YouTube, then you too may get chosen as a ‘partner’ of the site. YouTube allows its partners to earn a part of the revenue that is accumulated from the ads displayed along with the video, when it is played! Just take a look at some popular Indian YouTube channels like- TVF (The Viral Fever) and AIB (All India Bakchod). Such popular channels even get direct sponsorship and advertisers too. Advertisement is usually done in the form of brand mentioning within the video. But let me tell you one thing, to reach such high level of popularity, you must be a creative genius and a hard worker, like the folks at AIB and TVF.

Cleanfiles– 
It is a PPD (Pay Per Download) site. Let me tell you how it works. First of all, you need to register on the site. This has to be followed by uploading a file onto the site. You’ll be provided by a link to the uploaded file. Now, each time someone visits that link to download that file, they will be asked to complete a survey before they can lay their hands on the file. Each completed survey and download is counted and paid for. Thus, basically for each successful download of that file, you get paid! You may promote the link to the file on Social Media or on blogs (just like I do). So, you may try out this mode of making money even without owning a blog!

Just like the previous entry, this one is also a PPD site. The way of working is exactly the same. There are some options available though, like content locker, URL and File locker, Video Locker, Virtual Currency and Offer Wall.

This site is a paradise for writers. Writers are paid for writing posts on the site and for sharing them on social networking sites. I’ll describe to you how Bubblews works. For each article you write, you will be paid 0.01$ for every unique visit that it gets! And for every ‘like’ that it gets, 0.01$ will be paid again! For a comment that the article gets, another 0.01$ is added!

For a friend you refer to Bubblews, you will be paid 0.2$ for the first article he/she posts! So, for a view, you get paid 0.01$. The article has to be just 300-400 words, that is some 2-3 paragraphs only!

So, if you write 10 such articles and you get 100 views for each of them, by sharing it on sites like Facebook and asking your friends to read them, then it will garner some 1000 views. This means you earn 10$ (around 600 Rupees!). And add to it number of likes and comments, the amount can well cross 1200-1500 INR!

If you ask me, Bubblews is one of the best way for Indians to make money online. Most money making sites cater to visitors from the west. Asian and Indian visitors are often paid paltry amounts by money making sites. But Bubblews pays visitors from around the world richly! Click here to register on Bubblews and start earning money today by publishing an article right away. You may write on any topic that pleases you!

In simple terms, iWriter is a platform, where writers and requester (who need articles) are allowed to interact. Writers may register and take look at the list of requester and the type/topic of article that they want. The price specs are decided by the requester.

The price depends on the quality of the article, article length, the writer’s level on the site etc. Quality content is valued on this site. The requester’s reviews help writers climb up the rating level ladder quickly. On the upper rungs, payments are much more than in the case of new members. So, the key while using iWriter should be to churn out quality content, satisfy the requester and thus improve own rating!

Fiverr

Like iWriter, Fiverr too is a site that lets you make money by making use of skills that you possess. iWriter focuses exclusively on writing skills. Fiverr, on the other hand, allows one to come in with a much more wide set of skills. It is a freelancing site that will help you market your skills and find relevant gigs from buyers.

Fiverr too is thus like an online market place, where sellers and buyers may interact and do business! Getting started is simple- register on the site, fill the profile correctly and provide details of skills that you possess! To get more out of Fiverr, it is necessary to jump on to higher levels! Doing quality work and satisfying buyers will help get good ratings, testimonials and even handsome tips!

Like Fiverr, there exists other freelancing sites too, which you folks may check out. The basic concept in their case too is- “put your skills to use and make money using our sites”. Some good sites are- Elance.comFreelancer.com and Peopleperhour.com.

The first step is to register as an Affiliate on the site. After that, you may access the affiliate dashboard, find good products to promote, get the affiliate link and promote it on platforms like Social media sites, WhatsApp, forums, blogs etc. For each sale that you manage to get (via your affiliate link), you’ll be paid a commission (depends on the site and product being sold).
