2. Focus mostly on motivation,
because to me, in all language
learning, motivation is by far the
biggest factor. So you have to find a
reason to want to learn this
language.
FIRST:
3. German is not as difficult for an
English speaker as Russian, Chinese,
Japanese, etc..., because it’s a related
language.
4.
5. So, what are the
challenges of German?
Pronunciation?
Well, it’s not as
hard as you
think.
16. Don’t totally focus onONE
specific aspect of the language.
Get involved in more of the vocabulary
and more of thelanguage!
Exposing yourself to it and just talk
withoutworrying about it.
