Introduction

We all know that learning a new language can be difficult, but there are ways to make the process a little easier. 

Translate any word you do not know into your own language and understand the meaningAsk a foreign person about the word and ask them to give you examplesPractice the words you learn everydayTry and learn a new word everydaySpeak the language everyday, even if you do it to yourself or in a mirrorIf you have a long word. Break the word down to smaller words

Examples

Information - In - for -ma -tion

Definition - Def - I - ni -tion

Successfull - Suc - cess - full

Imagination - I - mag - ni - a - tion

Then repeat each word slowly and start to say it faster and faster. Soon you will be saying the word

Remember never be afraid to say something. Most foreigners will understand what you are trying to say and will help you. Even if you make a mistake you are still learning. It is always better to make a mistake and learn than to be quiet and learn nothing.
