Most people who seek to learn a new language want to do it in a short period of time, however, in a profound way and with well-developed language skills – rare are the cases in which the student does not worry about the time to spend. apprenticeship.
It is known that anything in society, especially in the work environment, requires the accumulation of information in a practical, agile and fast way; thinking about it, practices such as defactfulness (excessive and intense consumption of facts, regardless of the subject, what is learned or handled. Facts are the focus, even in the dissemination of opinion) have been widely used. And it wouldn’t be different when you’re learning a new language, but, after all, how do you know how much time it takes to learn a language and how?
FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
In order to measure the time required to learn a new language, it is necessary to take some questions into consideration, such as:
- Your previous learning experiences: if you have already learned a foreign language, it is much easier to learn another one, given the fact that you are already used to such a learning process;
- The language being learned: let’s be honest, it’s not possible to say that it takes the same time to learn English and Russian, so you need to find out the idiomatic and grammatical complexity of the foreign language, as well as how similar it is to your language native;
- How you are learning and how much time you dedicate to it: These two factors are essential to measure the time through which you manage to learn a foreign language, given the fact that there are more effective means than others – this detail is even personal and personalized, as there are different learning styles. Time must also be taken into account, as a person who studies English 6 hours a day, every day, learns the language much faster than someone who only dedicates 2 hours a week.
IMMERSION: AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO LEARN FAST
In light of all the above, it must be said that there is no formula to measure how long it takes to learn a new language. But if you want to learn a new language in a short time, the best method to do so is through the Immersion Program, which promotes a more intense and constant learning, providing a real immersion in obtaining knowledge of the foreign language, without being I need to travel to another country.
