Tips For Improving World Languages Skills

• Find a show on a streaming service in the language you study and turn on captions in that language. The longer you watch the show, the more you'll understand - and eventually acquire.
• Locate some popular music in the language and add it to your playlist. The more you listen to the song(s), the sooner you will know the lyrics and acquire that vocabulary and those structures.
• Practice language skills in the classroom
• Practice language skills with friends/family
• Use popular language-learning apps
• Watch children’s TV shows/movies/videos
• Read comics and kid’s stories
• Listen to music
• Join World Languages clubs offered here at East
