How Dan Learns Languages

I’ve made the goal to learn French, Spanish, Chinese, and German in my lifetime.

Why? I love languages and the opportunities those languages provide.

Here’s how I attempt to learn languages:

  1. I study the scripture of my church in the language I’m learning. This includes the Book of Mormon, talks from church leaders, and the current Sunday school manuals. I read this content out loud.
  2. I write down any words I don’t know on a google sheet.
  3. 5 Lessons From Duolingo.
  4. I look up the definitions for 5 words I didn’t know, and attempt to use them in a sentence.
  5. I use the Tandem App to practice the language with native speakers, and help those who want to learn English.
