Next Level Language

Learning languages has been my passion for many years now and after studying German and Chinese at university and Portuguese and Spanish on my own, I've found ways to get to that advanced level more quickly! I always found I learnt much better on my own, but importantly, with the right resources. As a teenager, I took French, German and Latin at school and fell in love with the feeling of thinking and communicating with others in a foreign language. But only whilst studying German and Chinese at university did the effective ways of learning a language click. I’ve learnt in formal education as well as with my own methods from home. I've used this knowledge to pass the advanced C1 and C2 exams and now I want to share those methods and resources with you! The 3 components During my year living in Beijing and staying with a Chinese family, I discovered that the learning curve to the intermediate level was fairly steep, but it quickly flattens out. To get over that hump, you have to work smarter. Speaking a lot is crucial, but I found I felt more confident the more I exposed myself to these three things: different accents, different speeds and a variety of topics.
