5 Essential Tips for Language Learners

1. Relax! The teacher is not here to judge, but to help you optimize your skills. Think of your teacher as a movie director, and you're the actor.

2. Set yourself goals:  this can range from skimming an article to listening to a podcast in English. It is important to make it your routine; just like a shot of espresso or gym time

3. Practice, and try: always put yourself in a situation no matter how basic your English is. Do not avoid producing a sentence just because you think you cannot say it.

4. Do not rely on your first language: beginners tend to rely on their native language by giving translations or following translations. It is important to try to immerse yourself fully in the second language by following the clues given by our instructors. This may seem hard at first, but it's worth it in the long run.

5. Enjoy the process: it is important to take credit for your progress no matter how small it seems to you; learning a language is really fascinating, and believe it or not, it comes natural to us as humans, no matter your age.
