Read the new language Louder everyday

Read loudly as you listen to a lecture and read along with flow. Then read it up again and quickly. Do it all the time before you can talk more easily. Give it your best shot, but don’t obsess about any of it, to say the word correctly. Learn easily, with emotion, and make a difference in the sentences. Aloud, reading greatly helps the voice and diaphragm muscle create sounds and words that are unfamiliar to pronounce easily.

Use Shadowing technique

Shadowing is a beneficial technique to increase language skills and to improve your pronunciation and understanding. Shadowing helps you build all the neuro pathways inside your brain quickly and accurately generate these words and phrases without thinking about this repeat. Shadowing contributes to improving mental focus in all the physical components responsible for producing the sound. Depending on your primary and targeted languages, it is very likely that your mouth produces many sounds. Shadowing, such as watching TV shows, movies and music, can be performed.

Read various Hindi Translation Books

The next step in the process of recreational reading is the study of writers whose stories you already know but who write nothing more than your vocabulary. A common starting point is the Harry Potter series. You’ll be able to browse stories full of new grammar and vocabulary because the overall sense of the plot is already in your head. Keep a dictionary close by and increase your capacity.

Repetition is the key

Sometimes it happens with most of us that we learn a Hindi word so fast and quickly and suddenly we forget it in about 2-3 days. So, as I mentioned, ‘Repetition is the key’. When you learn words you must repeat them daily for 15-20 min.

Only 15-20 minutes Daily can do what 2 hours of continuous study can’t do. Daily small parts of study can’t make you bored and you also have sufficient energy for the repetition of old words.

Practice your skills daily.

Regardless of which fast learning techniques you use, it’s important to practice your Hindi skills daily. Daily practice is important to encourage your skills to keep moving forward, whether this is through immersion techniques or just studying daily. It can be tempting to study for hours one day and then wait a few days to study again. The problem with this is that your skills will backslide during your time away from learning, thereby slowing down your learning progress. If you make learning Hindi a daily activity, you won’t have to waste as much time relearning the material.
