    🌈🌈🌈 One of the pitfalls in your language progress is not concentrating on the most commonly used verbs, adjectives and vocabulary as a beginner language learner. Then you have to see those verbs, adjectives and vocabulary in different contexts. Then you have to listen to those contexts over and over again. 🌈🌈🌈 🌈🌈🌈 If your foreign language has a different script than your native language, then a different approach might be needed. 🌈🌈🌈 I am still learning different ways towards acquiring Modern Standard Arabic, which is known to be a notorious language to master as a native English speaker🌈🌈🌈

If that person wants to learn a language for academic purposes, so he need grammar and writing skills . Languages are like music instrument, if you like the guitar you will learn how to play your favorit songs. you don't need to read music symbols. but if you learned how to read him it will help you a lot.

    I don't understand how people can skip parts of learning a language. People do it with characters in Mandarin and the subjunctive in Spanish, and if anyone thinks these are skippable without it being immediately obvious, they're wrong.

    This tip "find a job" is something new, nobody has ever said that here on youtube. I can attest, It really works. A few months after starting this new job I was already writing formal texts to clients, answering phone calls. You are forced to learn because you don't want to let the company down. It's a kind of "school" as well, you learn a lot from co-workers and people. When you ask questions about the language they are happy to help.
