Learn Any Language

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.

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:

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.
