Before starting to learn a new language, you should first accept the idea that language learning is a long process, in which you\u2019ll need to be persistent. On the other hand, not setting any goal might be as detrimental to language learning as setting unrealistic goals. The solution? Try and set a small goal each week, e.g. to be able to say an entire full sentence with the vocabulary you have learnt, or with a new grammatical pattern you have studied.

Overcoming the \u201ctranslation trap\u201d is a hard task, but it is absolutely possible! Listen to native speakers in the first instance, and try to memorize entire sentences. I know school encouraged us not to learn things by heart, to use our own brain, instead. However, mnemonic learning not only works the best for language learning, but it is necessary!

As you probably already know\u2026 this is wrong. Speaking is not just a way to practice pronunciation, but it is also very important to memorize sentences. Although this is the best method, you might feel frightened to go out and speak to native speakers at first. Why not try to practice with your phone or computer?
