Every once in awhile in class (or as homework) I would provide an article about tips of learning a language or the benefits of learning a language. Today I'll post some ideas on how you can continue to practice when we're not together.
Recently the New York Times provided some suggestions on how to learn at language at home, and last year they published an article about what they learned by using Duolingo for 500 days (and compared it to other apps).
If you don't want to get on an app there are ways to incorporate another language into your everyday life like changing your phone to be in the target language, following Spanish speakers on your favorite social media platform, or listening to music or watching shows in Spanish.
SpanishPlans.org has a great list of ideas to maintain the language you've learned over the summer break
Create a new blog post in your Spanish Blog Portfolio (or send an email to your teacher), title it the same as this blog post, and complete one of the following tasks
- Create a list of 3 of these things you would do. Include links to songs/playlists you'd listen to, shows you'd watch and/or social media accounts you'd follow.
- Watch one of these TED talk videos about how to learn a language and summarize it in your own words.
- Look into different (free) language learning apps or extensions you could use (refer to the NYTimes articles How to learn at language at home, and what they learned by using Duolingo for 500 days ) and explain which one you'd be most likely to use and why.
