There are mainly four principles to learn a language effectively:

  • Principle 1 → Decide what your needs are and find out what works best for you
  • Principle 2 → Balance your learning

Studies of very young foreign language learners have found that by increasing the amount of interesting and understandable written input without increasing class time, students almost double their language proficiency achievements compared to students with the same number of class hours but much less input. These gains were retained one year later.

If your language course/method does not include fluency development activities such as timed reading, then taking a reading course with a total reading time of around three hours will increase your foreign language reading speed by at least 50% and in some cases double your reading speed.

There are many studies on foreign language learning, but the findings of these studies are not always put into practice. Applying the findings of some of these studies can result in dramatic increases in learning.
