Most effective way to learn a new language?
-
Anyone here studying ancient languages? Would love to hear from you regarding how bioenergetics ties into your learning. I am learning Latin and Attic Greek for instance. Really feeling a sloth coming on right now in terms of study and am looking for a way through.

You just have to go to a french speaking country and not be afraid to speak it.
The problem if you're a native English speaker is that people in other countries usually speak at least some English and love to practice is it on you.
I'm Dutch and old, so when I was young I had to speak, German, English and French if I went abroad. I can still get by in these languages even though I never deeply studied it.
Go speak it and pretend you don't speak any English.
France is not the only country where they speak French. Maybe Ivory Coast is a fun place to go IDK. I would prefer France -
Stay in the country where you want to learn the language of for 6 months. Language learning is entirely about learning the patterns of communication. You can't learn those if you aren't communicated with.

Language exposure aka language acquisition via input. Look it up, there’s been studies on this. It’s normally how children/babies pick up languages but adults can do it too.
