Fun with Blogs! Some of the best sentences you will ever get when building your vocabulary can definitely come from blogs. The language and vocabulary usage in blogs is always changing to reflect how people talk in this day and age, and therefore are the perfect research tool for vocabulary sentence building.

Sometimes learning vocabulary, even in context, can get tedious. Give some ideas of games you can play to make it fun. One game I play for learning German is a memory game that Germans play when they are young.

I've been using this method for a long time now, and I've always been able to keep language learning fun, because I don't have to focus on how I'm learning.

This is normally the most exciting part of beginning a language with this method, because you actually had another person do something for you that is really of great value. I remember receiving my first recording in Japanese. I listened to that thing about 100 times. I shadowed it, repeated it to my family multiple times and still hear it in my head from time to time.

Getting Started So, you've decided to learn a language, eh? First off, let me congratulate you. Why? Well, language learning is looked upon by many people as a complicated and difficult task. Unfortunately, this outlook deters many people from even thinking about starting to learn a language. So, the fact that you chose to learn a language, despite what the majority tells you, means a lot!

You've got your language picked out and you're ready to dive in, so let's move on to the first step in building a language foundation:

So now you have about 30-50 sentences sitting in front of you and you've read through them, but don't quite have a feel for how they are supposed to sound. This is very demotivational because if you can't hear the flow of the sentence, you may be afraid that you are learning it incorrectly and that can really be a tough obstacle to get through.

Vocabulary is best tackled as efficiently as possible, as it takes the most work to ingrain. Luckily, there are ways to handle vocabulary learning in a smart way that you will use until you are a fluent speaker in the language. At that level, however, you won't even notice you are using any technique because you are so used to using it in your first language. This is called "learning in context" and it's a part of the foundation that you need employ firmly and frequently.
