In the language learning world, everyone has different ways that work for them. For me, school didn’t help much. I often felt overwhelmed and confused. And as a visual learner, I found what works for me. Here are 5 tips that worked for me as a visual learner:
- Be really into the language
When you do it with your will and interest, it’s more fun and not overwhelming. Think about
Why do you learn the language?
What got you into it, and whether you can implement it into your hobbies.
2. Make double-sided flashcards
Making these flashcards helped me the most.
When learning new words or sentences, I made two-sided cards:
- One side in my native language
- The other side in my target language
- I put them in a jar or bag and randomly picked one.
- If I picked my native language, I had to say it in the target language.
- If I picked the target language, I translated it back.
This method trained my brain to think both ways, and because I could see the words, I remembered them better.
