There are many reasons for wanting to learn a language, including English and Japanese.
Perhaps you have friends or family who you would like to be able to communicate to in their native language? Or maybe your interests lie in the culture of the country? Maybe you even want to get ahead by having a second language on your CV (always a talking point and something that impresses your potential boss). Maybe you’re studying towards your exams.
Whatever your reason learning a second (or third, or fourth?) language is an amazing adventure. You will be frustrated, elated, and soon all of your hard work will pay off when you find yourself able to communicate outside of English.
The road to fluency isn’t an easy one, though. It’s littered with pitfalls and setback designed to try and make you give up. But perseverance is the key. As is having a multitude of strategies on hand to help you maximize the time you can spend learning.
That’s where Atlas steps in. Here you will find thirteen tips for achieving your language learning goals. They may not all be for you, but you can pick and choose what works and hopefully come away after reading this with new strategies in mind and with renewed determination to reach your goals.
Good luck, language learner!
