5 Ways to Keep Language Learning Fresh This Summer (Part II) 🌞 Go multimedia This tip is especially relevant if your summer learning goals involve keeping children occupied. Language learning is all about exposure – choose foreign-language films for movie night, play world music on the way to your kids’ soccer practice, and check out a few culture-related books from the library. It’ll keep your summer activities diverse and engaging, and you’ll likely pick up a few new skills along the way. To expand your skills allowing you to learn on-the-go, track your learning, and explore whatever new culture piques your interest next. 🌞 Keep it friendly Whether you’re setting language-learning goals for yourself or your students, you can spread the wealth and ensure accountability by making it a group effort. Partner up with fellow language learners and host world-language potlucks, cultural nights, and conversation dates over coffee, ice cream, or a more unique treat. Rediscover the joys of snail mail with an international pen pal – there are plenty of sites out there to connect you with your next best friend. 🌞 Choose flexible and fun Part of combatting the summer slide is finding the language-learning solution that’s right for you. Seek out resources that are flexible, fun, and tailored to your interests. You can also take 1:1 classes and schedule your time as it’s convenient for you. With over 7 years of teaching experience, I invite you on an exciting journey of learning English • French • Russian • Italian • Lithuanian with me.

5 Ways to Keep Language Learning Fresh This Summer (Part I) The summer slide refers to the summer learning loss that occurs when the school year ends, for students young and old. All that hard work you put in during the school year faces its archenemy when the lazy days of summer kick in and you’re studying slumps. But fear not, I’ve got your back. The summer slide has a foil: fun, easy, and simple ideas for keeping up with your language learning during summer vacation. In fact, some of these ideas might make your summer break even more fun than you imagined. Stick with me, and your language learning will be fresher than ever when you hit the books again this autumn. 🌞 Plan field trips Summer is all about road trips and spontaneous adventures, so tailor your trips to fit your language-learning goals. Search upcoming cultural events where you can flex your language-learning muscles and soak up some culture-learning fun in the sun. Check out your local museums for cultural events, festivals, and celebrations that will be as fun as they are educational. 🌞 Create a schedule I know, this sounds like the antithesis of summer. But trust me, without a schedule, your summer learning goals will melt quickly. Instead, begin with the end in mind – think about where you want your language skills to be by the end of summer and set some realistic goals. Create a schedule around those goals and increase your accountability by displaying a motivating vision board or creating a reward system to build retention. Give your summer learning a theme and focus on specific skills to keep your learning attainable, fun, and applicable. #tips

6 Common Myths About Learning a New Language There is a lot of misinformation about language learning out there: how long it takes, how hard it is, what you need to do to get comfortable using a new language! Here is the truth behind some of the most common language-learning myths. ✒️ “I need to memorise all the words in the language.” The truth: No one – really, no one! – knows all the words in their own language, much less in a language they are learning! ✒️ “I can become fluent if I just…” The truth: There are no quick fixes, easy hacks, or ways to learn a whole language in 6 short weeks (or 3 easy steps, or with this one amazing trick). ✒️ “Older people cannot learn new languages.” The truth: With the right resources, motivation, and chances to interact with and use the language, adults can be successful learners, too! ✒️ “My pronunciation has to be perfect to be understood.” The truth: Everyone has an accent in their own language, and your new language will be no different! ✒️ “I need to wait to practice speaking until…” The truth: You can benefit from speaking on day 1! ✒️ “I need to learn correct grammar.” The truth: You can get your point across long before you have learned all the nuances of grammar. When it comes to learning a new language, sometimes the truth about how we learn to communicate is more surprising than the myths. Getting your point across in the language you are learning is about more than vocabulary and grammar, so take comfort in knowing that there is a lot of flexibility built into expressing yourself – and being understood. #tips

Добрый вечер, дорогие. Спасибо за то, что проявили интерес к марафону. Те, кто мне отправил электронную почту, уже получат подробную информацию на следующей неделе. Желаю вам чудесного вечера ☺️

Дорогие друзья, вижу, что большинство здесь учит итальянский язык. У меня есть идея сделать 7-дневный марафон (для всех уровней), который будет посвящен летнему путешествию по городам Италии. Вы выучите новые слова и выражения, познакомитесь с итальянской культурой и гастрономией, и многое другое. Если вас это интересует, отправьте мне вашу электронную почту сюда: @kristinasukhanova Скоро узнаете все подробности ✉️✨
