Step 28: Be Willing to Ask Questions
A recurring tip here seems to be that language needs practice and that couldn't be
truer. A learner needs to make real world output of the knowledge they've gained
from language learning. Lest it just go to waste by sitting and festering in their
brain. Putting all they've learned to action makes it concrete. This gives the
learner more confidence to speak the language and use it in a practical way.
It also allows the learner to gain more incentive to speak it because they now
have goals and benchmarks to meet. Simple examples of real world output
include greeting fluent speakers in their native language. Another one would be
traveling to the country for vacation or study, and conversing with locals. If a
learner reaches a certain level, they may even find a job that utilizes the skill to
speak their chosen language. Not only will this be a way for them to cash in on
their hard work, but it is also the ultimate classroom from which they can learn
and improve.
