3 tips for learning a language at home

Contrary to what many people think, it’s not necessary to go to classes to learn a new language. If you make the decision to study languages for free, you can carry out a series of complementary activities that will enrich your learning process:

• Reading: reading is one of the most enriching activities when it comes to learning a new language, because it allows you to absorb the different communicative nuances and understand the complexities of that language.

• Watch movies: this is the most effective way to improve your listening comprehension, since watching a movie in VO with subtitles helps give you the correct pronunciation of words as well as different expressions for exams such as the TOEFL.

• Travelling abroad:  You will learn more travelling abroad than you could in any classroom because you may have no choice but to communicate in their language if you want to be understood. Immersing yourself in the language and constantly practicing it will make you learn faster.
