what is your method to learn a language? what is your method to learn a language? and do you think your method is effective? any more effective one? I'm planning to learn Cantonese, Japanese and Korean; i can speak some simple greeting sentences for all these 3, however since we're learning a language, that is to say we do not have a talking enviroment for the language we're learning; mainly i learn through talking to myself everyday, the "me" in the mirror, trust me, i do have a mirror in my bag. I've learning English for many years and, talking to myself in the mirror brings me a bad habit: sometimes i talk to myself subconsciously,, and i think it's really weird.. if you're learning some language, how do you learn?

Thank you Sean, sounds a good idea, especially the flashcard part,, i can imagine how it works, but i never used it before, can you say some details about it? like ANKI? what is ANKI? how does it go? besides, i;m in China, i do not have that much time to do, 3 hours may be the limit that i can reach every day to study.. anyway thank you..

When I'm getting started, I like to spend 10-12 hours (until my head spins, basically) every day or as often as possible cramming my head with grammar and words, which I like to get from written sources (as to understand the context)... I highly recommend that you use a flashcard program like ANKI for this... It's a lot of work... After I've developed a decent understanding of the language, I try and meet people to speak it with... at a certain point, you don't have to memorize as much and can just learn by talking. italki is a great place for this! If you've already learned one language you can surely learn the others... Just be patient. Good luck.
