Learning a new language is difficult, or at least, it is for me. I've grown up around English and Chinese, and I'm taking French in school. Now, with conjugations and new grammar rules, it gets a little confusing. Je, tu, nous, vous, il(s), elle(s), all jumbled up in my head for conjugating. I also can't get all of my accents straight. Oh the confusion!
What do I do? How to I manage to get all of the languages straight in my head? How to I learn all three at the same time?
Well, the answer is much easier than expected. I just take everything in slowly. And I practice what I know (in appropriate situations, of course).
I already practice English no matter what. I mean, I live in America! Kind of hard to go to school without knowing how to speak, read, write, etc. English.
I practice Chinese at home (because I have to speak in Chinese to my parents).
I mess around in French. I sometimes just randomly spurt out French when I know how to say that thing in French. That's how I learn. Eventually, I will be able to use it when I need to (that's my goal). I sometimes just write it on the side of my papers. Everything you practice helps.
After all, practice DOES make perfect!
