Some useful tips to learn a foreign language

1.
Start with the 100 most common words. Not all vocabulary is made the same. Some
gives you a better return on investment than others. I have a friend. She had been working on and
off with a tutor for a few weeks, but she was surprised by how he could not follow even the most
basic of conversations despite months of study and living there.

2.
Carry a pocket dictionary. This made a much bigger difference than I expected. I carry
an English-Vietnamese dictionary app on my phone and I used it all the time.

Keep practicing in your head. The other use for your dictionary is that you can practice
while going about your day and not talking to anyone. Challenge yourself to think in the new
language. We all have monologues running in our head, and typically they run in our native
tongue. You can continue to practice and construct sentences and fake conversations in your head
in a new language. You can begin to think about how you would describe your job and explain
why youre in the foreign country in the new language. Inevitably, those questions will come up
and youll be ready to answer them.

Youre going to say a lot of stupid things. Accept it. When I was first learning English,
I once told a group of people that Americans put a lot of bugs in their food. Um, yeah Its
going to happen. Trust me.
