What languages do you speak/ are you studying any? I'm wondering if you have any advice, as I am starting an exchange year in Brazil and I have to learn Portuguese. Do you have any tips for learning a new language?

Hello,

I can fluently speak English, Nepali, and Hindi. I’ve taken a few years of Spanish, so I can definitely understand it, and I can hold a reasonable conversation. I also took a year of Latin, but that one’s becoming a little weaker. Over summer, I also taught myself French. In addition, I can mostly understand Urdu, Farsi, Punjabi, etc. The only languages of the ones I listed that I’ve formally studied are Latin and Spanish. Everything else was either native or self-taught.

There are a lot of really great resources online to learn languages. My personal favorite is Duolingo, but if you have the time and money, I would also invest in Rosetta Stone. I would try my best to immerse in the language and the culture - listen to Portuguese music, watch some films, read a few literary works. If you can take formal classes, that’s wonderful. If not, then it’s not really a big deal! There are SO many website and Youtube videos and tutorials and books in many libraries that will teach you the language. Take it day by day. Remember that learning a language is much more than memorizing vocabulary. There’s grammar and beauty and art behind every language. Make a Portuguese friend. Converse with them. Make flashcards and journals and say the words out loud so you feel comfortable speaking the language. It’s one thing to learn it on paper or inside a classroom and another to be in the middle of Brazil trying to speak it. So practice, practice, practice.

I hope that was helpful!

I used to be in Headliners!! What are you doing? Distinguished Speakers?

Nah I’m on the social media team for University Unions! so I guess I’ll be part of the team that promotes everything. I think I’ll be in charge of social media, designing promotional materials, etc.
