Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner? There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don't do. Here are some of the most useful suggestions from studies.
- Don't be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.
- Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good language learner always looks for opportunities to talk with other students.
- Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your notes when you do your homework.
- Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don't know. They also make their own vocabulary lists.
- Think in the language you're learning outside the classroom. When you're shopping or walking down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you're at home, say new words to practise your pronunciation.
- Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can find a lot of this online.
- Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and hear themselves speaking in the language. This helps their motivation.
- Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It's never too late to become a good language learner.

Hello everyone, I want to share some tips I’m learning a new language. I’m from Myanmar. Now I’m learning my new language English. As you know, there are 7 days in a week. I just take only 2 hours per days. Everyday I take notes to do lists. While I start to do my lists, I don’t do another tasks. On Monday to Friday , Vocabulary about 15 minutes before I start my learning. And then start learning for Listening 20 minutes, Reading 30 minutes, Speaking 30 minutes and writing 40 minutes. On Saturday, Grammar 1 hours and reading hours. If you are studying lessons, you can get a lot of vocabulary and then write down. On Sunday, warm up all. I get this schedule from my online teacher.

To learn a new language, I should do the following:
: )
It's a good idea creating a spoken journal. It may be created in a WhatsApp chat and you can record audios speaking about many different topics, whatever that comes to your head: about your day, a movie you watched recently, your thoughts etc. In this way, you can see your progress throughout the time, while you improve your fluency and pronunciation.
I have a tip I often use when prompting for new vocabulary:
First, you need to draw 5 parallel and alternating lines to form 6 or more vertical columns
Second, you alternate writing vocabulary in your language and your linguistics
And after 3 days you can write the vocabulary you have learned into divided columns or more days to make it easier to remember.
