- Watch movies in that language. You can do this by changing the audio or turning on the subtitles for certain movies as well as finding foreign films.
- Podcasts and radio shows in that language. If you're just starting your journey in learning a new language, this method can help you get used to the sounds and tones of the language.
- Duolingo - You can use the mobile app or online site. I love it! The only thing about it is there's no explanation of what some words/phrases mean and where they came from. This is crucial if you're working on verb usage.
- Check out foreign language books for kids from the library.
- Mangolanguages.com - Normally, an individual or family would have to pay but, if your school, college/university or library has an account with them, you can use it for free. Just talk to your library, school or college/university.
- Foreign language blogs and vlogs. All it takes is a Google or YouTube search.
- You can also use find language partners via dedicated Facebook groups.
- Change the language that you view Facebook... if you dare. (They have Upside-down english and pirate speak, jsyk.)
- If you use the Google Chrome browser, try downloading a language immersion extension from the Web Store. With a language immersion extension you can learn new words and phrases in a different language of your choosing on almost any page you normally visit. The extensions allows you to choose a language then choose a level. (For some it's scale is novice to fluent, for others it may be by percentage of fluency.)
- Listen to music and watch music videos in different languages.
- Foreign language groups or classes at the library. For this you should definitely check with the librarians in your local library. Even if they don't have any classes, they may be able to point you to some other helpful sources.
Hope this helps and happy learning!
