What is the most effective way to learn a new language?

There’s no easy or easiest way to learn a language than surrounding yourself with it. Learning a language can be quite expensive, but thanks to the internet you can achieve a lot of progress without spending a nickel. Google some language-learning websites, there are lots of them and I can’t list them all. You will find some that are pretty much like virtual courses, and others that are more like conversation classes, putting you in touch with other people learning the same language or even native speakers who are learning your own language and looking forward to exchange their knowledge with you. My personal suggestion is a website/mobile app called Duolingo. With just a few days on it you can cover the basics pretty fast. After you achieve a basic understanding of the language with Duolingo or any other platform of your choice, try to get to know the culture of the countries that use the language you’re learning. Start watching their TV shows with subtitles, listen to their music, read their local blogs and websites about subjects that interest you so that you can still have some sense of familiarity. Make sure you bring as much of the language and its background culture into your life as possible. You may be able to communicate by learning a language through intensive courses and books, but then you will just be translating the language into your own worldview. The only way to understand the real meaning of each word is to understand how it fits in the culture of the native speakers.

It’s really hard to completely avoid them, especially if you’re a nice person, and they are so normal until you get to know them deeply.

See lessWhen I look back over the period of time I spent with a narc, I can see clearly where I went wrong. My advice would be to have strong and clear boundaries. Once one of these people enter your life there is a continuous and targeted effort to cross your boundaries, even to break them down. These people do not like their targets having boundaries at all, I would even go as far as to say that they target you because you look like someone with weak boundaries. They also don’t like being told no, safe to say you will see the Narc in their reaction to your first refusal at a boundary crossing. They will not be happy at that.
