They are one of my very favorite tips to learn a language fast. Use tasks to test and build your fluency.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tasks are the successful learner and teacher\u2019s secret weapon. A task is a specific communicative function. For example, a task might be as simple as greeting someone. It can be much more complicated, like explaining your political views in great detail. Tasks shift the focus of language learning to what you CAN do, and not on what you CAN\u2019T do. They keep all of your learning goals firmly focused on communication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tasks keep every bit of vocabulary and grammar learned in context. And the best part? Each task you learn and master spills over into others. For example, learning how to make polite requests at a restaurant transfers over into making polite requests at hotels, at the doctor\u2019s or at a store. Each word you learn can be useful in multiple contexts. Learn enough tasks and you will be able to express whatever you wish in your target language.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use for speaking or writing, or mix it up. <\/strong>Writing is the last skill we master in languages. With that said, you can use that skill you already have in your own language to learn a new one. I love to journal to learn new languages. Short periods of time work well. Choose a topic, set a timer, and write. When assessing, I don\u2019t allow myself dictionaries or translator apps. This shows me where my gaps are. When using to actively learn a task, I allow myself whatever tools I need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking to yourself is a great way to build fluency. I love to use the recording apps I listed. The recordings are a great way to hear your progress. I share mine each five weeks on my blog. You will hear mistakes and awkward pauses. It is strange to talk to yourself at first! However, it works. You will be blown away the progress you hear by talking to yourself and recording it regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use this tip to learn a foreign language fast. Get something to express yourself to (a person, a notebook, a recording app) and get expressing yourself. I love <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/vocaroo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/vocaroo.com\/<\/a> and Voice Memos.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some practice tasks that will help you start expressing yourself in words and phrases:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organize a party or other special event.
