Natural way of learning a language is listening,speaking,
reading and writing. In addition it is best to immerse oneself in that learning
environment. So you could not go to a place where the language is spoken, used
in daily life try to artificially create it.
So when someone learns a language which is not his/her
mother tongue, the following steps may be used. First, listen to everyday
situations provided in a video with audio. Second, transliteration may be used
in the second time to understand what is said. Third, look into the translation
of the phrases said. Here a warning, don’t try to learn grammar and vocabulary
in the beginning.
In the above procedure, if video is not available, go for
just audio clips. Again, if audio clips are not available, one may go for
traditional printed phrase books. Besides, it would be great if in the phrase
book, situation and things around described like novel with emotion of the
participant. It would be kind of compensate, but nothing could compensate with
the originally in the situation and video.
When around 300 phrases of everyday use is learned, then one
could go for vocabulary. In this stage, no grammar please. Grammar would come
after a year of your studying spoken language. To learn vocabulary, it is best
to use picture dictionary with standard pronunciation. Initially you may try to
figure what is looking into the image rather than looking into translated
meaning.
TV or radio news in the target language is not a good place
for learning spoken language. Because things in the news are often political
and not that much used in everyday spoken things. However at the later stage,
one may watch or listen such tv or radio news. The best thing to watch is
movies, dramas, serials. Listening to radio drama, interviews, songs.
To create an artificial environment, one may ask friends and
families to talk in the target language. If possible,one may get a friend over
internet and chat over voice applications like skype,viber over internet,
communicate with emails, letters etc. One may also make friend of the target
language in the university or the locality he lives.
The video of the target language would be the best if real
human beings participated there. However, next thing may be animated cartoons.
Following the above procedure, appears below some links to
