This half year I explored different languages for example Japanese and Persian. I have taken 5 Japanese lessons, all from different teachers and 1 Persian lesson. So far I enjoyed the lessons. Here are some tips I have applied during my language journey: 1) Reading a poem in the target language. Here I have a poem in Persian. https://www.italki.com/post/0V9ZiaDkl3ekiA3rertVBP In the first picture you can read a Dutch poem. It is written for Ari and the word 'fire' is in the poem. In the Persian poem it starts with ari and the word 'fire' also contains in the poem. Do you like the resemblance? 2) Make it fun. One of the Japanese lessons I took, presented me a powerpoint with Japanese sentences that makes it really fun to learn it. 3) Write something like a language bridge. (this idea comes from Richard Simcott, polyglot bridge). It is a creative way to express yourself through different languages.
