How long does it take to reach C1 (advanced) in a language you're learning? 💭
🤔Someone asked this on Twitter today and it got me thinking. I wonder why questions like these are so common. It's good to have a broad understanding of how long it might take, but there are way too many factors at play, making it impossible to have a single answer to this question.
📚If you're fluent in Dutch and learning Afrikaans, it might take you a few months or years, depending on the time you put in to learn and practice, to become fluent. The two languages are that similar.
🤠But if you're a native French speaker learning Korean, for instance, the two languages are very different in terms of grammar, pronunciation, sentence structure and even writing system. It would require hours and hours more effort than the above example.
🗻In another instance, 2 native English speakers could both start learning Japanese. Person A spends hours weekly studying, getting speaking practice in, listening and getting immersion down, and works hard. They could reach N3 (intermediate) level in a year and a half if they put in a ton of effort and if Japanese is all they focus on. Person B might even live in Japan, but if they don't put in the work and just rely on some weekly classes and barely do their homework, they might never even reach N5 (beginner) despite living in Japan. 🤔
As you can see, it's really impossible to ask these questions and have a cookie-cutter answer for each person and each language. Let's rather put time in to be immersed in languages rather than get stressed about how long the process might take. What do you all think? 💖🥳

How to overcome fear of speaking a language 🙈
(PS...new video coming on Monday about whether or not introverted language learners REALLY need to practice speaking or not ... keep your eyes peeled for that discussion!)
Anyway, here are some tips for overcoming fear in those situations where you do need to use a foreign language. 👀
1. Analyze the situation and go easy on yourself 🥰
Identify WHY you’re afraid of speaking a language. It could be because you’re too shy or because you don’t know enough vocabulary. If you use the wrong particle, grammar structure or word, what’s the worst that can happen? If people laugh at you, that’s a reflection of them as a person, not you.
2. Prepare vocabulary and phrases in advance ✍🏽
When I was working as a design intern at a Japanese company, I was really scared that I wouldn’t understand anything during meetings and presentations. It helped me a lot to look up words I suspected I might hear during the internship. I built vocabulary lists and example sentences of design-related vocabulary. You can’t find a textbook for every topic, so taking matters into your own hands and creating your own language learning materials boosts your confidence.
If you cannot remember or don’t know a word, you can always talk around the word and describe it in another way. If you don’t know the word for “cake” for example, but you know the words “sweet” and “food”, you can say “sweet food” and they might say “cake?” in return.
3. Practice beforehand 💬
Just like practicing a speech for a presentation, you can practice using new words and phrases in a safe environment until you’re ready to use it with a native speaker. This could be talking to yourself, a pet, a chatting partner online, or a tutor. My favorite method is talking to people on voice apps. When I can’t see someone’s face and they can’t see mine, I feel less ashamed of making mistakes.
4. Record yourself 🎥
You'll hear your mistakes easier and be able to correct them if you need to, but you'll also gain confidence over time hearing that you aren't actually as bad as you think you are! You can use sites like Forvo to hear a native pronunciation or ask a native speaker friend you trust to correct you first, if you like.
5. Relax ☺️
Remember not to take language learning too seriously. Your goal is to communicate with others, right? It’s counter-effective to worry about using the right words and grammar each time you try to say something. And it's always OK if you prefer to do other activities rather than speaking - we all learn languages for different reasons and if you prefer reading books and watching movies, that's totally fine too 💕

[NGẪM - BÀN] 100 CÁCH HỌC TIẾNG ANH HIỆU QUẢ (part 4)
Chủ điểm của bài viết hôm nay là kỹ năng VIẾT, ( dĩ nhiên là vẫn tiếp tục phần học TỪ VỰNG của hôm qua nha <3
Các bạn có nhận ra điểm gì ĐẶC BIỆT trong mỗi bài viết trong chuyên mục này không????? Các bài trước đều có mà không thấy bạn nào phàn nàn nên Ad có 1 chút buồn :'(
Cùng SHARE về wall để học dần nào <3
<3 31. Học về tiền tố (dis- , un-, lại ) và hậu tố ( -ly , lý , - ful ) , chúng sẽ giúp bạn tìm ra ý nghĩa của từ và xây dựng vốn từ vựng của bạn.
***Learn prefixes (dis-, un-, re-) and suffixes (-ly, -ment, -ful), these will help you to figure out the meaning of words and build your vocabulary***
<3 32. Tiếng Anh , không giống tiếng Nhật hay tiếng Pháp, có chứa trọng âm. Đối với một từ mới bất kỳ, bạn hãy đếm âm tiết và tìm ra trọng âm của từ đó. Mỗi từ chỉ có 1 trọng âm , thường rơi vào nguyên âm. Động từ 2 âm tiết ( beGIN) thường có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2. Danh từ (TEAcher) và tính từ (HAPpy) 2 âm tiết thường có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất.
***English, unlike Japanese or French, uses word stress. For new words, count the syllables and find where the stress is. Only one stress per word and always on a vowel. Two syllable verbs have a stress on the second syllable (beGIN). 2 syllable nouns (TEAcher) and adjectives (HAPpy) stress the first***
<3 33.Sử dụng Tiếng Anh bất cứ khi nào có thể. Đó là phương pháp học tiếng anh đơn giản mà lại hiệu quả nhất ^___^
***Use English whenever you can. It’s as simple as that!***
<3 34.Đừng dịch tiếng Anh sang ngôn ngữ của bạn. Hãy nghĩ bằng Tiếng Anh để nâng cao khả năng của bạn. Hãy tự giao tiếp với mình...nhưng tất nhiên không phải ở những nơi công cộng trừ khi bạn muốn người khác nghĩ bạn điên :)
*** Don’t translate into English from your own language. Think in English to improve your fluency. Talk to yourself…but not on the bus otherwise people will think you have gone crazy!***
<3 35.Bạn không thể học tiếng anh chỉ dựa trên lý thuyết. Hãy thực hành thật nhiều, khi đó bạn mới có thể kiểm soát được nó.
***You can’t learn English from a book. Like driving a car, you can only learn through doing it***
<3
36.Cách tự nhiên nhất để học ngữ pháp là thông qua những cuộc hội thoại.
***The most natural way to learn grammar is through talking***
<3 37.*** Keep an English diary or journal. Start by writing a few sentences a day and then get into the habit of writing more***
<3 38.*** Why not start an online blog and share your writings with the world?***
<3 39.Để viết tốt hơn, hãy suy nghĩ và gạch ý cho bài viết trên giấy mà không quan tâm đến ngữ pháp hay chính tả. Sau đó hãy tìm những cấu trúc mà bạn cần dùng. Tiếp nữa là viết đoạn ngắn chuẩn ngữ pháp và chính tả các bạn nhé. Cuối cùng, đọc lại hoặc đưa cho ai đó tìm lỗi cho bài viết của bạn hoàn hảo nhé.
***To become a better writer brainstorm as many ideas and thoughts onto paper without worrying about grammar or spelling. Then think about the structure. After that, write your piece using good grammar and spelling. Finally, read it through or give it to someone else to check for mistakes***
<3 40.***Keep an eye on your punctuation as it can totally change what you’re trying to say. Check out the difference in meaning between these two sentences: “A woman without her man is nothing” and “A woman: without her, man is nothing”***
Ps: Hãy commet dưới POST này nếu bạn đã phát hiện ra điểm BẤT THƯỜNG của bài viết ^____^

In this lesson you'll learn how to express the time before an action by using the ~기 전에 grammar structure. (For example, saying you're brushing your teeth BEFORE going to bed, or bringing your books BEFORE studying). I hope the lesson is helpful! Let me know if you have any grammar requests in the comments!

A question I get asked often - what steps to take when just starting with a language?
———
1. Start with the alphabet if the language has a new writing system. It’s extremely important to get the pronunciation right from the beginning so you don’t have to rely on often inaccurate English renditions of how to pronounce words. Once you have the writing system down, write as much as you can in the language without relying on English or another language to help too much.
2. After the alphabet, learn basic greetings and vocabulary. This is an important step and helps motivate you to keep going. I listen to the radio or to music from that language a lot, and if I learn the 100 most used words in the language, I’ll most likely hear that word in a song and get super excited about it.
3. Grammar. Learn a grammar structure, look at example sentences (either on apps like Duolingo, or textbooks, or sites that give example sentences like conjugator) and then replace words in the sentences with other words you know.
4. Practice. Getting a language partner is important. You should find someone who is open to correcting your mistakes, and someone who is patient to talk to you despite you being a beginner. I also practice by doing everything I normally do, in another language. My diary/schedule/shopping list/music playlist all transforms into my target language for a period of time.
5. Keep track of your progress. A diary, studygram or Youtube channel is a good way to see how you’ve progressed.
