Typing the words not only helps me to practice using the Greek keyboard, but it also helps me to commit to memory the words I'm learning.
For my first month with Greek, the plan has been to ease into the language, starting with the alphabet.
The bottom line is, learn a language you're able to use. And that's the most important key to learning: you must use what you learn.
My advice to others has always been to pick a language not for it's features, or uniqueness, but rather to choose a language that you will actually use.
I won't reveal my next language project just yet, but I can say that unlike this year, my next language will be one that I can much more easily use.
It's clear that I will not be speaking fluent Turkish by the end of this year - even if I were to be amazingly productive for the rest of this month.
I haven't been making any progress on Turkish. After six months, I still didn't have anyone with whom to speak Turkish.
The Italian ebook has been updated to include new suggestions and advice for learning, additional details reflecting my own experiences after traveling around Italy for a month, and a few corrections.
When I begin learning a new language, one of the first things I do is search out music in that language on Spotify.
