Great entry 🙂 Just discovered your blog looking for language learning tips and I am definitely gonna follow it as travel is my life. I do agree with all the tips, especially lesson taking – I traveled to Poland this autumn and I thought I can handle the language myself, but only after I signed up to a language school (www.polishcourses.com if anyone needs) I felt like I finally know what I am doing. It is an investment though, but I think if you really want to catch up some phrases you need a 1:1 with a tutor.

@Muhammad: The best thing is if you can find a Portuguese language class that you can take to get started. Otherwise, look into language learning websites or audio programs like Pimsler. Good luck!

@Margaret: I couldn’t agree with you more about trying to communicate, making mistakes, having people correct you and continual learning. And yes, learning to laugh at oneself definitely helps when learning new languages!

@Cynthia: It takes practice to speak with simple concepts and words, but it is a great skill for learning new languages. Don’t have first hand experience working with language with kids, but I can see it being quite useful for that. Good luck with both!

These are great tips! Numbers 4 and 5 really resonated with me. Since I have a 3 year old, I’m getting quick with simplifying explanations in English, and I’m using this skill for Spanish, to describe words or situations I don’t know. Thanks.
