Learning a foreign language for adults

It is said that it is good to start learning a foreign language as early as possible. Of course it is true.

They say that it is good to start learning a foreign language as early as possible. Of course it’s true. However, we often forget that even adults have certain characteristics that allow them to acquire new language skills. For example, the ability to concentrate and determination, which younger students often lack.

So if you want to start learning English or expand the knowledge you already have, don’t hesitate, there are numerous language courses available online often for free e.g. here https://antyteksty.en/uczenie-sie-jezyka-obcy- jak-dorosly/ Time will pass anyway. Here are some tips to help you achieve your language goals.

Apps, podcasts and self-study

Individual home study is ideal for someone who already knows the language and wants to improve their skills. But thanks to various types of learning apps, beginners can also work on acquiring the basics. The biggest advantage of this method is that you can use it at any time. It is invaluable because in language learning the most important thing is to be systematic: a few minutes can bring amazing results, provided you are diligent.

The second thing we can do on our own is of course listening to podcasts in English. It may seem that this method is for people who know the language at least at B1 level, but beginners can also use it. Turning on a podcast in the background while doing your daily activities and listening to it “casually”, not with a pencil and notebook in hand, will help you get used to the language. After some time you will notice that you recognize some of the phrases.

Language quizzes

Learning a foreign language can also be enriched with a variety of quizzes to test our knowledge of vocabulary or grammar rules. Quizzes of this type are offered, among others, by the Kahoot application, which has recently been available in Polish. Kahoot in Polish means you can register and take free quizzes even for people who are just starting their adventure with learning languages.
