Why Why Why Why? * for all of you who have kids or was one of these kids you’ll get the joke.
1. Attend a Cultural Activity Kids are always with their families and their families are the ones that teach them to speak their language. So find local cultural activities and try and attend one or two a month.
Benefits: Observe and mimic natives, interact and speak with native speakers, feel the rhythm of the language, and see the mannerisms of natives while they speak. Just like a kid would with their family.
2. Watch TV Depending on when you were born you watched more or less TV as a kid. No matter what your opinion is on TV watching it can be an amazing tool for learning a foreign language. So rent or watch: Cartoons, Kids programs, Movies, and TV shows. Now depending on your level you can choose more advanced programming but Kids programs are a great way to learn a foreign language because they follow the always popular K.I.S.S. method. Keep It Simple Stupid.
Benefits: Learning effective communication skills at their most basic level, Improving your listening ability, feeling the sentence structure and rhythm.
