Myth #1 – It’s impossible to learn a language fast.
FALSE! It is entirely possible that you have heard this exact line from one of your teachers when you took a language in school. Or you may have heard it from one of your friends who is living in a foreign country and making little headway in the native tongue. Fortunately, it’s a myth.
Chapters Include:
I. Dismantling the Myths….the most important thing for a new language learner to believe is that, first of all, you can learn a second language no matter who you are. You are in control of the process, and you will be the one to decide which strategies (yes,
there should be several) will ultimately work for you.
II. First Steps for the Self-guided Learner ….Many language learners fall into a trap of thinking that you simply go out and buy a language learning course and start with lesson one. This might work in the end, but it is definitely not the best and easiest way to go. There are several first steps you can take to ensure that your language learning process will be productive and pain-free, no matter what tools you decide to use. What you find outlined here is not an exhaustive list, but it is what we consider to be the essentials when getting started.
III. Language Tools for Those in the Now ….The best courses will also provide you with a suggested learning path, but at the same time be flexible enough to allow you to do things your own way. They will be invaluable in giving you simulated conversational practice when the real thing is not within earshot.
IV. Motivation …We all know that one of the greatest challenges of learning a new language is getting motivated to do it. You’ve cleared that hurdle already. But just as challenging is the ability to stay motivated and actually use what you learn. And of course the ability to remember what you learn goes along with that.
V. Learning with ROCKET LANGUAGES …Audio material should moreover promote active learning through techniques that prompt the listener for responses rather than simply instruct them to repeat words and phrases. American linguistics professor Dr. Paul Pimsleur refined many active learning techniques in the latter half of the 20th century, which have been applied to a number of audio-based language learning courses, including those sold under Simon & Schuster that bear his own name.
