I wish someone had told me this before started to learn german!! PT.2

Here are the last two tips for improve your german and it works to whatever language you’re learning, I advise you to take your time and don’t rush to get to certain level in no time, because learning a new language needs time, while you get use to it. Don’t try to be in a B1 class when your are just in A2 level because will not be good for you and you’re going to lose your time and money, is like when someone jump to a deep lake without knowing how to swim, that guy will be you if you don’t try to go into your own rhythm.

  1. Listen to people. When you are in the street in the subway or anywhere tray to listen other people and try to understand what they are saying, it doesn’t matter if you can’t but the point of this is that your brain get used to the sound of the words. If you don’t know how it sound and you don’t get used to it, your brain will filtrated whatever people is saying. That is why if you are in a room full of people speaking german and is only one person speaking in your own language you will understand it loud and clearly even if it’s a very noisy environment and he/she is speaking really soft.    
  2. And the last one tip, is a little bit obvious but no one can discuss that it doesn’t work, and is talk in german with other people, that the better way of improve your language, and get feedback of it, think in the language as a sport you must practice in order to dominate it. Try to found someone that can understand you and you can understand son you don’t have to struggle so much when you need to communicate something, try to ask in supermarket for whatever, even if you don’t need anything, ask for directions in the street. And finally start simple, if you are just starting and you just know a couple frases don’t try to go to conferences in german, to reunion where everybody speaks just german because you’re going to frustrate yourself,  take your time and walk every step at the time.
