If you're new to a language, it's going to take consistent and concentrated effort to start using the language fluently.

However, this fact shouldn't discourage you.

While learning a new language is hard, it's far from impossible in this video will outline five tips you can use to jump start your language learning.

Follow these pointers toe.

Learn your target language in a way that is efficient and effective.

Number one.

Limit your native language use when practicing.

The idea here is that when you practice with native speakers, you do your best to refrain from using your native language.

This is generally harder, the less you know.

But if you can manage to stick to this rule, you'll reap some huge rewards.

If you commit to a no native language practice session, it's not going to be easy.

Most likely, there will be some frustrating, if not painstakingly difficult moments where you either have trouble understanding the person you're talking to or you can't say what you want to say.

It's precisely in these moments that your language learning muscles are built up to capacity.

The process really isn't all that different from working out in the gym.

Just replace the physical burn of lifting weights for the mental burn of thinking in a new language.

In the end, if there's no pain, there's no game.

Obviously, this no native language rule doesn't have to be written in stone.

There are times when it's more beneficial to break out of the Target language box and have something explained to you in your native language.

However, this should definitely be the exception rather than the standard number two have set times to practice speaking throughout the week.

Now that we've discussed a good way to practice speaking, let's delve a bit into Wen to speak.

One of the best commitments you can keep while learning a new language is to set aside specific times to practice speaking the language on a weekly basis.

Ideally, thes speaking sessions are on set days at specific times and form part of your weekly routine.

If you don't make it a point to set aside specific practice times, you run the risk of your language practice falling through the cracks of your busy schedule.

I recommend writing down your practice times and hanging it somewhere you can always see it.

You could also input the time than to your phone and set an alarm.

The point is to remind yourself of your commitment every day so that it doesn't fall by the wayside.

Number three.

Get picky about vocabulary.

Whether you practice with the podcast, a friend at a coffee shop or a teacher, you're going to run into a flood of new and unfamiliar vocabulary.

Despite your best efforts, it's unlikely that you'll be able to pin down every new word or phrase you here and study it later.

Thus, he should pick and choose which new words you focus on.

The defining quality of each new word you learn should be its practicality.

The more useful a word or phrase is to you in a conversation, the more important it is that you learn it.

One week of study.

Take it one step at a time.

A few practical words here, some more there.

Before you know it, you'll see your vocabulary improved.

Number four Right and practice short monologues.

Then simply write out a short monologue or speech on the subject in your target language.

The first thing you'll notice while doing this will likely be the holes in your grammar and vocabulary.

But when you try to write out your thoughts in a foreign language, you might inevitably hit roadblocks.

You might not be able to think of a word or know how to formulate a specific idea or opinion.

Yet this could be great because these holes are the exact areas where you should focus your studies.

You can bring up these problem areas in your next lesson, or browse through your favorite language course or textbook in order to find the answer.

The constant process of finding these language holes and filling them is what keeps you moving along the path to fluency.

The memorization will help you internalize the new grammar and vocabulary you've learned reciting.

It will get your tongue and mouth used to the sounds.

Number five keeping up to date list on what you want to learn throughout your studies, you should always have a sort of language shopping list.

As you practice and study, you will most likely come across things you'd like to be able to say but don't know how to yet, especially if you follow our previous dip right this wish list down.

You pick up the A course or podcast, both of which are great.

It's a bit different when your vocabulary gets personal.

Learn the words that matter to you, either because they're practical or because you simply find them interesting.

The more relevant the vocabulary, the more likely you are to retain it.
