Study skills tips Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language
learner? There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don’t do. Here are
some of the most useful suggestions from studies

 Don't be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners
notice their mistakes and learn from them
 Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good language
learner always likes talking with other students
 Take notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your notes
when you do your homework
 Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words
they don't know. They also make vocabulary lists.
 Think in the language you're learning outside the classroom. When you're shopping or walking
down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you're at home, say
new words to practise your pronunciation
 Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-study
material. You can find a lot of this online.
 Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and
hear themselves speaking in the language. This helps their motivation
 Enjoy learning the language . Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV
series or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It's never too late to become a
good language learner.
