Want to learn a language quickly

We all know that learning anything new takes time and effort. Rome was not built in a day!

Whether it is a sport, a vocational subject, a new skill like playing a musical instrument, working on a new machine, anything, to attain expertise in it requires enough time to be devoted to that activity. Learning a new language is no exception to this rule. If you wish to attain proficiency in a language and speak it fluently, you need to devote some time and make sincere efforts to learn it by heart.

Now, does this mean that language learning is a time consuming and tedious activity? Of course, not! If a language is taught and learned in an effective and smart manner, it can be mastered in a short span, say, in a few months, or even a few weeks. Don’t believe us? Read the following:

There are many conventional (time-tested) or age-old methods of teaching a language. Along with these methods, there, also, are new, innovative, and interesting new ways to get onboard language learning.

Let us see a few methodologies used for teaching languages.

1) Grammar translation

Here, the target language is taught to a student through the medium of a language that he or she is already acquainted with. Simple or basic grammar concepts are translated from the known language to the target language. Comparisons are, then, made between the grammar concepts of the two languages to establish clarity in the mind of the student.

2) Total physical response

In this method, not a single word from another language is used to teach a target language to a student. Actions (movements) and gestures are used to explain meanings of expressions such as ‘sit down’, ‘get up’, ‘go out’, ‘come in’, etc. spoken in the target language.

3) Interactive or communicative approach

Here, language is taught via constant interaction between the student and the instructor. The instructor poses a question, and also answers it in such a way that the student automatically understands the meaning of the question, and learns how to answer it. For example, if the teacher asks, “What is your name?”, and answers “My name is … (the student’s name)” in the target language, the student is bound to understand that the question was regarding his or her name.

4) Direct way or natural approach

Here, no grammar-translation takes place, at all. Listening and speaking start first. A language is taught even to grown-ups the same way as it is taught to a toddler. It is a natural learning process, wherein reading and writing come at a much later stage.

5) Immersion

In this methodology, a student is expected to totally get immersed in the new language. Every word, every phrase is taught with the help of some or the other medium such as showing the object for which a word stands, either in reality (life-size) object or a picture of it in a book. A student is not allowed to speak a single word from another language.

6) Assignment or task based learning

In this method, learning is rotated around a task or activity or assignment. Vocabulary related to the task is taught, and a student is expected to remember it in the context of the task.

All these above methods of teaching earlier used to be practiced offline, that is, in physical classrooms. Today, taking into consideration the current scenario worldwide, everyone prefers to learn any new language from the comfort of one’s home, avoiding the hassle of traveling or commuting, and moreover, without spending much time learning

A few months back, I had enrolled for live video training sessions with language experts with a reputed and trustworthy source of education or language-learning. There, I got a chance to communicate with language experts during each session, get my innumerable doubts and queries cleared, and my questions answered to the point of satisfaction. I am absolutely satisfied with the way they taught me to speak in English. You see, today, I am writing this blog completely in English, without using even a single word or phrase from another language. I am confident and I am fluent in a language, thanks to Multibhashi Language Learning Sessions!
