listening and reading and writing
it was through audio tapes. it was easy, but to become fluent you need more exposure.
learning a new language becomes easy if we listen to the conversations of people speaking the same language.
continuous speaking of the language we want to learn will help a lot.
i am fluent in the language.
teachers and textbooks
there is no better way to learn a language than by going to a country. i used to have good english teachers, but i hated learning this language until the day i went abroad. we focus too much on grammar in school, but we should focus more on listening comprehension because it is when you hear an expression (that comes from a local) that you try to use it afterward.
it was interesting.
my favorite learning method is living abroad surrounded by people who speak no other language with you than the one you are learning.
worked well
i'm glad of my english knowledge.
i learned russian when i was at school, but that was not enough for speaking fluently. since my childhood, i have always watched all movies in russian, which was the main reason why i am able to speak fluently and write freely in russian. however, my speaking skills are better than my writing skills. the root of the turkish language is the same as my mother tongue. so i always understand, speak, and write fluently in this language. our culture, language, and religion are very similar to each other. therefore, it was not difficult for me to learn turkish from television programs, movies, songs, and series. as for lithuanian, i should say that i was learning this language at university because i'm studying in lithuania. i found this language harder than any other language. now i have stopped learning lithuanian because i have other language courses at university; it's really hard to learn more languages at the same time. i realized that i understand more than i can speak in lithuanian because i'm afraid of making grammar mistakes while talking.
repetition is the mother of science.
language classes at school suffer from a prescriptive way of thinking about language. children are still taught how one should write instead of motivating them to create their own style (in accordance, of course, with the grammar or acceptability of this language).
i learned through many different methods, so i can't describe it: the thing is that i speak better english by talking with english-speaking people, and i speak better japanese the same way... i'm all for learning on the job!
i love having grammar explained - i can practice everything else on my own, but reading grammar myself is just too much. courses that expected me to do this were terrible.
i hate listening comprehension exercises; they're really frustrating, and i feel i'd learn more if i just listened without desperately trying to answer questions.
many textbooks are so heteronormative that it hurts physically. (also, why would you even want to include a love story at all? i just don't get it.)
i love courses that don't follow the most usual patterns, like combining colors and clothes; that's boring.
numbers are terrible to learn; i'm struggling with them in my l1 as well, so don't rush them.
yes, many languages are linked to states, but that doesn't mean i want some nationalist patriotism 101; it mostly grosses me out.
i learn a language much faster when i do it by myself in the country that speaks it than at school, even if i need some classes one way or another to master the writing aspect of it. when it comes to communication skills, there is nothing, in my opinion, better than being surrounded by the target language.
audiolingual method; focused on speaking, which worked very well. not so much on grammar, but its grammar is easy so it wasn't so necessary.
focus on grammar, which was very hard and still didn't work, so i now don't know grammar, nor speaking.
focus on everything, for a long time, it worked very well.
worked quite well, but needs a lot of initiative. but the method, listening + speaking + grammar exercises, worked out well.
school or private courses provided me with a solid foundation in the grammatical and structural aspects of the language. however, learning the 'dry' and technical parts was just the beginning; interacting with native speakers and essentially putting your knowledge into practice has been the most effective part of my language learning process.
i have learned just the very basics so far. i think one can build up quite good accent and listening skills, compared to how languages are usually taught (in a desk at school). considering i only listen to the audio on my way to/from the office, i think it's bloody awesome.
all four competencies were considered important. i think this method worked well. however, the "mistake" was seen as something negative in school, so i was afraid of speaking or making mistakes and receiving a bad grade. in university, it's not that bad.
still can't talk in this language.
learning a language requires all methods: speaking, writing, and listening. i gained all these skills in my lectures, and i'm happy about that because it really helps. especially speaking, because you won't learn a language without a lot of practice.
the oral production was not worked on enough. i needed to live abroad to really improve my english and use it correctly in daily life.
