How to Learn Any Language
I have finished reading “How to Learn Any Language – Quickly, Easily, Inexpensively, Enjoyably, and On Your Own” by Barry Farber.
Actually, I have started the book yesterday, but finished it today. The author stresses motivation, dedication and a multi-level approach to learning new languages.
Later that day I have watched YJ Daily #80 Japanese Fluency in 10 Minutes by George from the Learn Japanese From Zero! YouTube channel.
The simple trick is べんきょうしろ!
There are no shortcuts to learning a new language. Reading a single book or watching a two week language course will not magically imprint a foreign language in your mind and tongue. Study!
I also like the videos from Youtube: Japanese Ammo with Misa. The topics are too advanced for me (yet), but entertaining to watch nonetheless.
WaniKani
I have registered and tested WaniKani. It’s a web application to help remembering kanji and vocabulary with mnemonics and SRS (spaced repitition system). Both methods are not new, but I want to try out a web application instead of a book currently.
I was givin some Radicals (building blocks for kanji) to learn and am currently repeating them.
See you tomorrow!
