Language (MFL) Study Tips!

Hi everyone! /Hola todos!

If you're studying a language at the moment, here are my best study tips! Please feel free to leave your own in the replies too :smile:

1) Reading help
-Read a news article
-Read a page of a book and look up words you don't know and write them down

2) Speaking help
-Speak to your classmates in the language, even if it's about what band you like or how your day was!
-What are the filler words for the language? How do you say 'um' or 'well'? Use them in your speaking exam to sound super fluent!

3) Listening help
-Watching a show in the target language for 15 minutes a day
-Listening to songs in the language

3) Writing help
-Can you rewrite the text you've just sent to your friend in the language?
-Can you write a journal page how your day was?

4) Vocab help
-Make flash cards for commonly used words
-If you find a word you don't know, add it to your flash cards!
-Use websites for this, such as Memrise or Quizlet

Thank you for reading and I hope this is helpful! :smile:
