I have a question for you: How many languages do you speak? 

For lots of people reading this, the answer is more than one. Most people usually learn to speak a secondary language next to their native one either because they grow up in a multilingual household or because they learn it in school (for example: in Germany, it’s English from grade 3 onward, and a third language from grade 6).

For most native English speakers though, attempts at learning another language in school are in vain.   The good news on the other hand is that it’s never been easier to change that. See, learning languages in school is such a backward way of doing it because not only is it ineffective and slow but it also takes out all the fun of it and in turn makes it something boring. 

And I partly get why it’s done in such a way because everyone learns at a different pace, standardized tests and more reasons I won’t get into right now. But all of these factors are vaporized if you simply use the magic of the Internet to your advantage and turn learning a language into an adventure, not a chore.  

1. Find you WHY. 

2. Aim for the top 1.000. 

3. Glue everything together. 

4. Start to connect. 

5. Make mistakes.
