The Independent Learner: A Practical Guide to Learning a Foreign Language at Home from Scratch to Functional
ByJim Lam
Don't you believe you can learn a foreign language without classes?
Well, maybe not 20 years ago. It's now rather easy to find affordable or even free materials for studying a foreign language independently. Finding someone to practice with has also become much easier than it used to be. This book will enable you to:
- teach yourself a language from scratch to a functional level anywhere and anytime you want;
- choose the best learning materials for yourself;
- enhance your language skills once you have a solid foundation;
- stay motivated and persistent;
- revive your confidence in your language and learning abilities;
- make vocabulary stick, and turn the infamous enemy called grammar into an ally;
- get the most out of a leisure trip abroad.
The above are discussed with an emphasis on learning the Spanish language. However, the majority of the recommendations should apply to self-learners of other languages as well.
