On average, 30 million people each year attempt to learn a new language. From experience and observation, learning a new language intrigues people. While doing so, people often expect rapid results. In reality, learning a new language requires time, dedication and patience.

Set Realistic Goals
According to research, some of the easiest languages to learn (for English-speakers) are Spanish, Norwegian, German, French and Portuguese. These are also among the most common languages learnt. However, most people tend to give up as they fail to meet their unrealistic goals. It can take anywhere between three months to two years to learn to speak, write and read in a new language.

Download Language-Learning Apps
A few reputable apps that I’d recommend are Duolingo, Babbel and Rosetta Stone. These helped me a lot while I learned new languages (German and Spanish.) Over time, I completely forgot how to speak either of them (lol).

Make New Friends
Surround yourself with people who are learning or speaking the language. This is a great way to test your abilities in the real world without it being awkward.

Watch a Movie
If you’re confident in your abilities, try to watch a movie in a different language (without subtitles). Or if you’re not that advanced yet, watch with subtitles. It’d still be fun. Keep track of new words and google what they mean later.
