How to learn a new language
It can be really hard to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really ____1____ (struggle). That was when my tutor at university suggested ____2____ (read) some children’s books printed in the target language.
At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book ____3____ (design) for someone half my age, but then I realized that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we ____4____ (give) these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed ____5____ (find) Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.
The beauty of reading books ____6____ were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. Therefore you ____7____ work out some words with your knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this did not work well, and I often felt puzzled about ____8____ I had read. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter, highlight the new words and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit ____9____ using a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context. Additionally, a lot of children’s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.
