About this Language Chat

We all learn differently, but how do we find our ‘sweet spot’ for language learning?

What methods and tools do you find work most effectively for you? It’s pretty easy to get distracted by the bright and shiny new tools out there… But do you prefer ‘old-school’, more traditional methods, like being guided by a textbook and making flashcards? Or do apps and online lessons take up the majority of your study time? Maybe you use a combination of both?

In this episode, Penny and Bec talk about what type of language learners they think they are and the kinds of language learning methods they think work best for them.

What language learning style suits you best? And does this change depending on the language you’re learning or the language learning goals you’ve set? Let us know!
