Tips for studying a language!

1   1. Apps such a DuoLingo as a supplement

2   2. Community groups. Check with your community and local library and see if there are any groups that meet to practice speaking the language

     3. Watch movies in the new language with subtitles IN THAT LANGUAGE. That way you can’t cheat and block out the new language and just read the subtitles in English.
