My estrategie to learning a foreign language Hi. How are you guys doing? At first, I need to say that you can feel confortable to correcting me if I write something wrong. Today, I choosed write about how I intend to learn english and the estrategies that I'll use for it. I hope it helps people that are learning this laguage too. I think it can help also people that are learning diferent languages. Well, I don't know exactly in what level of english I am 'cause I didn't toke any serious test untill now, but I know what are my difficulties. As I said in the previous letter, I was surprised by seeing that I can't have a natural conversation with people in English. I thought I was better on it. So I decided to start writinng more and also speaking when I can. I foud some youtube channels that are focused on teaching English to people. I think a good satrategie when you're trying to learn a foreign language is learn without translate. When I don't know what a word means, I don't go to google translator to learn it, but to a dictionary in English. This way, I learn English in English if that makes any sense for you guys. Today, I founded a teacher on youtube that has a thechnique that she calls "imitation technique". Her channel's name is "mmmEnglish". She says that a good way to reduce your accent is focus on what you hear and not what you read. This way, your pronunciation get's more natural and you get more confidence to speak. I think this makes a lot of sense. When we read, we pronunciate letters that frequently are not pronunciated by the native speakers when they speak. I'm gonna buy a notebook that I'm gonna use especificly to write things about learning english and I'm also gonna talk with people here on italki. I hope I've helped someone. Bye!!
