Being able to enjoy books, movies, shows in their original language is a big motivation for me."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51397190","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ChelseaRae"},"datePublished":"2023-11-09T23:35:09.000Z","text":"If you watch shows on Netflix and the like you can change the language/subtitles. If you’re a beginner at learning the language, then watching the show with the language in Portuguese, for instance, with English subtitles should help begin familiarise you. If you’re more advanced, simply watch the show in another language but without subtitles to test your understanding and ability to follow a plot. You could also watch in English but change the subtitles to the language you’re learning to practice reading."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51407207","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"themachman"},"datePublished":"2023-11-11T01:52:04.000Z","text":"Only way you're going to improve a language is to speak to someone using it
Try skyping foreign students who are coming over to study
or, better still go on holiday to the places and use it. You'll soon find out, like I did, you've been speaking it wrongly
Failing that I leant load by listenig to music in the language you want to learn."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51407311","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"saraye"},"datePublished":"2023-11-11T03:20:20.000Z","text":"Are you learning new languages so you can understand others when they speak that language without engaging with them?
