Powerful technique In my language learning journey I've been discovering great techniques that allowed me to learn faster and better and approaching them. So, I decided to share with you one of this powerful techniques. This one will not just develop your oral comprehension, but also improve your pronunciation. I call it: Super INPUT. It consists in absorb as many details of the language as possible. First of all, you must choose a short video, according to your level, with the subtitles in your target language. Listen to the video and take some notes. Remember looking for the meaning of new words and phrases until you totally comprehend what the video is about. After that, disable the subtitles and write down in a leaf all that you heard, pausing when necessary. Finally, turn on the subtitles and compare what you wrote with them, correcting the errors you made. Repeat each phrase of the video, shadowing it until you master it all. In fact, learning a language takes time. Be persistent and keep on trying and putting in practice not just this technique, but all you already know. By doing that, you'll surely succeed. =)

Remember to look for the meaning of new words and phrases until you totally comprehend what the video is about. After that, disable the subtitles and write down on a page all that you heard, pausing when necessary. Finally, turn on the subtitles and compare what you wrote with them, correcting the errors you made. Repeat each phrase of the video, shadowing it until you master it all.
