The benefit of listening

Good evening.

As I mentioned in my previous posts, there is a lot of listening in my schedule of learning a new language. I think that makes up a total of about 70% of my learning time I listen to swedish material. Or english ones when I learned to speak english. And there are several reasons to do so, and there are several ways how to do so!

How to use news or text books for language learning - The Birkenbihl method.

Hello.

In my last post I wrote about what material you can collect to prepare yourself for learning a foreign language. I will now show you with an example how to proceed. There are dozens of ways to learn a language but I am going to show you the way I am doing it.

Finding your Material for learning swedish

Good Day.

First of all i need to say that this article deals with language learning in general, but I used swedish as an example. At the end there will be swedish material, but you can transpose those tips into every other language you are interested in!

So you did just start learning swedish? Or any other language? So did you came across the point where it is hard to find any helpful material? You are not alone! I Had the same issues at the beginning of my studies. But to help you avoiding that step, I am writing this little guide.

Learning Languages.

Good evening.

When I was a young boy, I have only been speaking german. More precisely the swabian variety, which is quite distinct from the standard "Hochdeutsch". When visiting primary school in Germany, i used to learn English as subject in school. Sadly that was more a subject than a language. After 4 years of "studying", i was not able to communicate.
