@ka_rishma_yadav Nice point. These ways provide real-life context and interactive practice. Do you have any language learning apps you'd recommend?
Watch Movies with subtitles or listen podcasts and music to get famiiar with unfamiliar languages.
@teekaram_teekaramyogi Good suggestions.They can help us pick up on nuances, improve our listening skills, and get accustomed to the rhythm and pronunciation of a new language.
Be patient and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It’s all part of the learning process!
@malka_parveen Absolutely! Embracing mistakes is a significant part of the learning process.
From my experience, the Grammarly Chrome extension can help you build confidence in your writing skills. Also, I now sometimes use chatGPT to rewrite texts for external presentations, etc.
Overall, reading professional articles and watching online courses help you expand your active vocabulary and boost your confidence.
@tanyavrpv Thanks for sharing! It’s all about continuous learning and applying those skills in real-world contexts.
I find that surrounding myself with the language through books, music, or movies makes it easier to pick up.
I started using language apps to practice regularly. They make learning new words and phrases a bit more fun and interactive.
I try to speak the language as much as possible, even if I make mistakes. Practice really helps build confidence and improve my skills.
Yep, watching foreign movies and TV shows with subtitles is a great way to immerse yourself in the language. Podcasts and music help too - anything that gets your ear accustomed to the sounds and rhythms. Getting out there and speaking with native speakers as much as possible is key though!
