Days and Words | Answering some Language Learning Questions (Hopefully) @daysandwords | Uploaded February 2020 | Updated October 2024, 17 minutes ago.
Have questions about language learning? I answer some of the most common questions I get about language learning.
"I’ve been learning Spanish, and it’s really hard for me to listen to conversations. simply because I can’t think in Spanish. So I spend a lot of time listening in Spanish, and then thinking of what it means in English. By the time I figure out the first sentence I’m three sentences behind the person. I end up losing where I was and not understanding anything. Any helpful tips to start thinking in my target language?"
I started by answering this question and ended up talking for 80 minutes about various language learning matters, so I hope it was helpful.
