- Take advantage of study programs organized around communicative techniques. You may be frustrated by traditional language programs based on a grammatical syllabus.
- Look for help if you have to design and manage a personal language learning program because many of the skills required are left-brain.
- Whenever possible, choose language learning activities that involve interaction with other people and that call for creativity and innovation.
- Use the creativity of your right-brain dominance to have fun with language learning. Think up language learning activities and games for yourself and others, using colors, pictures, and whimsy.
- Use your intuition to guess meanings from context, without necessarily working out all the details.
- Use pictures and images to help you remember ideas and words.
- Find creative ways to communicate when you cannot think of the words or structures you need.
- Use music, poetry, or art to help you learn.
