Learning a foreign language can be challenging and humiliating. Learning languages can be difficult and it can also be easy based on how your mind is programmed.

The difficulty of learning a language also depends on the type of language you speak and the language you are learning.

For example, an English speaker will learn Dutch, German, Danish faster than languages like Arabic, Estonian, Finnish and Chinese.

Spanish speakers speaking in Spanish can hold a conversation with Portuguese speakers speaking in Portuguese. The languages have about 90% similarity.

The key to learning a language is to find a concrete reason to learn the language and the make the process of learning enjoyable.

One hour a day of language learning will accumulate to about 360 hours of learning in a year and with that one can be pretty good in the new language.

Learning new languages opens several new opportunities and open doors to new communities. You will make friends with people who you will never know if you didn't speak their language.

The key to learning languages is immersion. Immerse yourself in the language and build slowly.

Apps like Duolingo helps but they are restricted on the level which they can take you. Get books, audio files and make a friend in your target language.

Slow and steady wins the race. It won't be easy but it would be worthwhile.

Lastly, learn important languages that presents you opportunities and are spoken by many people.

Learn endangered languages and help preserve languages that are going extinct.

Learning languages makes you more human and if you want to preach to someone, there is no better way than to talk to the person in his native language.



Share your experiences learning languages and some benefits you got just because you can speak a particular language.

Nice.

It's good to have a concrete reason to learn a language but most times, you get much better results if you learn it as a hobby. However, not everyone is passionate about languages until the need to learn one arises.

If you want to give it another shot, you can use Duolingo, Busuu and Mondly apps at the same time. It will help you understand comprehension more.

You can also download a polish book or the language you want to learn on wikibooks. The books explain more.

Viel Erfolg

I'll soon create a thread about how I learned a language to B1 on my own, but I should reach b1 first, I'm around A2 now

ich freue mich, dass du versuchst deutsch zu lernen.

I started learning with a book called 15 minute German. after that I used Duolingo and Busuu.
I've finished Duolingo but I still use it to practice. there a also a good German book on Wikipedia that's free.

now I use Anki and I read children books in German. I also watch movies I'm German. check out Nico weg on YouTube and I recently watch 'freaks, you're one of us'. it's a German movie on netnaija.

try to watch German movies and videos. also check out easy German channel on YouTube.

Anki is very helpful, it helps you learn the most commonly used German words and sentences.



I'm also on German learning groups on WhatsApp, facebook and reddit. try to immerse yourself in the language. you'll be good in a few months. practice everyday.

diese ist die letzte Absatz und ich werde es in deutsch zu schreiben

But I need to ask,How did you know your proficiency level?Did you take the proficiency exam at Goethe institute?

Modified:
The learn german in 15 minutes I saw is of 57mb size.I need to know if its the right one because I was expecting a max size of 12mb since its a book.

I also need to know the name of the book you recommended on wikipedia.

Also,how do I go about practicing speaking since I know no one who I can speak with?

If you learn and work with graded learning materials you may be able to estimate.

You can also take the placement test on the Deutsche welle website or on the goethe institute website

It's as. Recorded class and you have to answer questions both oral and written. It's quite embedded and interesting especially for French. They simplified language for you. Although I have an open mind when it comes to language learning. English is quite boring for me.

The best way to learn a language is to look for learning resources online and also, watch videos on YouTube. Duolingo is a gamified language app with a computerized voice. Not good if you are a beginner.

Input "learn polish" on Google Play Store or Apple Store and search. You'd see some useful applications there. Don't forget to check the rating. Good luck sis
