Foreign Language Study Methods...

[Söy]

so i have my german midterm today and it made me wonder what the best way of practicing/studying you can come up with is...

 

[Fetzer]

hummm, I study language in life in general, and the best in my opinion is to make link with language that you're more farmiliar too, like

"Nacht/Nuit/Night" it's almost the same. You need to automatcly make lot of link for only one word without searching in your head.

[Söy]

no time for love, doctor jones...

 

[Fetzer]

(This joke works in french, don't know in english )

 

[vikk]

yeah, study her tongue.

(This joke works in french, don't know in english )

i got the point and its a good tip...

 

[Igraine]

Well, another thing that you could do without moving is reading a lot of books in german, listening to music or watch films...

 

[inhe]

yeah, study her tongue.

(This joke works in french, don't know in english )

Works in spanish too, but that joke sucks in english

Language actually comes from the latin lingua which means language aswell as tounge.

"so i have my german midterm today "

T'will be hard...

Go with Fetzer's suggestion and movies/books can help, I guess it depends on what you want to learn, text or speech.

Since German and Dutch are pretty close I try to recognize Dutch words in it, maybe it works with English-German aswell. This way I can understand Danish etc. texts a bit aswell

I'm doing a technical study (mechanical engineering) and still have to deal with the german crap since germany is a tech-country, so alot of manuals are in German aswell.
