Hi! I am writing an article about learning the language of your host country as an expat.

It would be great to hear your feedback - maybe there is something I can add/change to make it more valuable.

Table of contents


Work, sports, and hanging out with friends .. where do learning the language fit in if you are already busy?

1. Totally immersing yourself in a language might be fun but who really has time for that?
     -How much time are you supposed to spend learning?
     -And how do you even fit it into your busy schedule?
2. Conventional advice debunked! (2 popular time-wasters to avoid)
     -Do you really have to always watch movies in your target language?
     -And play Duolingo every time you have 5 minutes of free time?
3. How to never lose motivation or feel guilty that you missed a lesson (even when life gets in the way)
    -One thing that will always leave you motivated
    -Learn effectively: learning something specific is crucial
    -How to pick something that is easy to learn AND that you can use TODAY
4. Which tools are best for learning?
    -When and how to use a teacher (and what price range you can expect)
    -When and how to use apps and free tools (e.g. language exchange)

Learning FAST and how to get started
5. Surprising traps you will meet along the way and how to deal with them
6. Where you’ll be in just 20 hours
7. How to start today without feeling overwhelmed (specific action steps)


What’s missing from the guide?
Is there something you LOVE about this guide that you’d like me to expand on?
Is there something confusing in there that you don’t understand?

I'm curious to hear your opinion :)

Duolingo - for sure.

Its helped me improve a couple of my languages and its a really fun app. Super useful. My husband uses it on "the pot" to learn my native language... so he's impressed with as well.

I could also vouch for duolingo! Used it months back to learn French and I managed to construct a decent sentence just before forgetting about it lol

I think YouTube is the best free platform for learning, whatever the topics / subjects you want to learn.

Through YouTube I have learned a lot in some different fields ( Accounting & business analysis which is my job career - Basics in Spanish & French Languages - PC & Mobile Technology - Sports - Dancing -  Cooking - Planting - Improving my handwriting - painting - and next to learn is playing music insha'allah)
