Steps

  1. Know your material. That includes homework. Know the book you are learning from if you have one. Make sure you know what you are supposed to be learning. It helps if you know what language you are learning, too.
  2. Always do your homework. If you do not understand something, you need to talk to your teacher. Their job is to teach you. If you fail, they fail.
  3. Write down pronunciations of words. Especially if you are learning a language like French, writing out how words are pronounced will help you ace that test!
  4. Don't let other kids distract you. If all the kids in your French class are all distracting you and just goof off, see if you can transfer to Spanish.
  5. Relax and let it flow. Don't jam Spanish into your mind! If you have a list of words to memorize, memorize a little each day.
  6. Use the language you are learning. Especially if you are willing to help somebody with her English, it is not difficult to find somebody online who will chat with you. You'll have fun and you'll learn more than you would in class alone.

Tips

  • Write the words or phrases in one color. Translate them in another.
  • Better yet, write different types of words in different colors. For example, in German, nouns are masculine, feminine, or neuter. Write (on white index cards, one word per card) in blue for masculine, pink for feminine, purple for neuter, green for verbs, and orange for everything else (prepositions etc.). Then when you have to recall the word for a test, you automatically know what gender it is - that's important!!
  • For verbs, try writing all the different tenses on the side of the card where you've written the English definition. That way, you have to recall the forms of the verb as well as the definition.
  • Make sure you have all of your supplies. It is hard to do pg. 65 #1-4 if you don't have your book.
  • Use your new foreign language as a code whenever you're around friends who are in the class. Help teach some to those who are not. Look up the words you need for your conversations -- a much better vocab selection than any book will offer!
