My techniques for languages skills improvement
May 10th, 2016
Hello everyone!!!
I'm writing this text to test my ability to express my feelings and opinions in English. Today I'm going to write about techniques and resources that I use to improve my languages skills.
First of all, a little introdution about myself. My name is Giovanni Saboia. I'm eighteen years old. I'm a Brazilian Portuguese native speaker and I speak English as second language (I'm learning English a lot yet but I think that I can express me in English). Two or three weekes ago I started to learn French too. It's been relatively easy to learn French using my English.
Let's talk about techniques and resources that I use to improve and exercise my languages skills. The main resource that I have been using since I started to learn English by myself is videos on Youtube associated to a notebook used just to keep notes about English grammar, vocabulary, etc. Nowadays I have a notebook to study French and write notes about French too. Other resource that I use is iTalki. On iTalki I have acess to a lot of information and people that would like to help anyone to learn a new language. I'm using iTalki to share text and exercise my ability to write. When I have wi-fi signal but I'm without my languages notebooks I read text or watch videos about languages, languages learning, polyglot experiences and tips, motivacional videos and a lot more. The last important technique that I use to study English and other languages is make some flashcards to study quickly on public transportation, queues or others "free" moments. These flashcards are made in small papers using simple words to remember concepts or lists of words or phrases to learn grammar.
These are my techniquest used to improve my languages skills. I try to apply these techniques at least four times a week to keep my brain thinking in desired languague and don't lose knowledge.
Thank you!!!
