He said that the biggest mistake you can make when learning a new language is to focus on your mistakes! “When we learn our native language as children, we don’t think about mistakes. We just use whatever we know to play and communicate. We only start worrying about mistakes when we start school and have tests.”
If you think you’re bad at learning languages, Fredrik has a different opinion. In such cases, the reality is usually that the methods for learning languages are bad. For example, learning only by reading textbooks and studying grammar is not a natural way to learn a language. “I personally had really bad grades in Spanish, but later, when I learned the language using much more natural methods, I [became] fluent.”

The linguist says that focusing and listening to informal dialogue is very important. “Only after you’ve learned the sounds, you should start to read. You don’t have to talk in the beginning. It’s much easier to learn to talk after you already understand a bit.”

Lastly, if you want to reach a high level of the studied language, you have to be brave enough to speak to people in it. Build relationships in that language.
Also, connecting with the culture of the language can be very beneficial, as well. Disconnecting from it can make the journey of learning way harder than it should be. So, in some cases, it might require you to put more effort into connecting with that culture if you want to learn the language. But learning a language doesn’t require much effort, right?
