One of the most deadly mistakes all language learners make :Being an information sucker We’ve all been there. We spend hours attending a conference or reading a book. The excitement overwhelms us and our body is filled with motivation ready to master anything! How often do we actually master it? Research from NTL Institute has shown that people learn: 5% of what they learn when they’ve learned from a lecture. 10% of what they learn when they’ve learned from reading. 20% of what they learn from audio-visual. 30% of what they learn when they see a demonstration. 50% of what they learn when engaged in a group discussion. 75% of what they learn when they practice what they learned. 90% of what they learn when they teach someone else/use immediately. The key to learning a language is to learn by doing! This means actually going out there and practicing your skills with other people (preferably native speakers). If you don’t have anyone in your inner circle, then work with a language coach online!
