A global pandemic is a once in a lifetime catastrophe. However, education can't take a break because of it.
Various institutions and tutors are now conducting their lectures 100% online, but are we comfortable with it? In the west, online education was partially introduced a decade ago. The MOOC assignments, weekly submissions, and writeups had prepared the west for this unprecedented time.
But that can't stop us from achieving our goal! This is why we have some of the best tips for you to learn a language online.
1. Set an achievable, realistic goal
Can one complete A1-B1 in 6 months? Yes. Must I do it? No.
It's silly to compare your learning speed with someone else. Everyone has a different level of grasping, aptitude when it comes to learning a language. Be realistic with how much time you can dedicate & plan accordingly. Consult a tutor to help you plan your schedule if you wish to learn on your own.
2. Get acquainted with the culture, food, history & geography of the target country
Sure, learning a language sounds intimidating, but it can be made fun once you learn trivia, something unique about it.
3. Language learning is a marathon, not a sprint!
Taking breaks is highly recommended. Don't be hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes all the time, what's vital that you try to rectify them whenever possible.
4. Stick to a schedule, even if it's for 20 minutes
