Learning a foreign language is an art. To succeed, you have to use a technique that suits you and that you feel comfortable with.

I've taught and studied languages for over fifteen years and can now learn much faster than when I first started. What's more, I truly enjoy it. Over the years I've made countless mistakes, and wasted precious time and energy, but I've also learned a lot. I've learned not only a handful of foreign languages, but also how to help others teach themselves and make the most of their lessons.

Here are some precious tips. I hope they can help you save time, money and energy, and stay motivated all along.

Tip number 1 - Get to know your language course format

Whenever you get new language material, spend about thirty minutes browsing it to get an idea of the topics you're going to learn and the level you'll reach when you finish. It's also good to see how long the lessons are, whether you'll be needing a dictionary, etc.

Knowing the course format will put you in control of your learning and will reassure you that it's not an endless task - although sometimes it'll feel that way.

Tip number 2 - Establish a routine

Set a time to study and stick to it as much as possible. This can be difficult if you have a family, a pressing job or other commitments, but it's not impossible.
