Good morning! Let's start the day with a language learning hack...
"Learn cognates!"
English borrowed a lot of words from other languages, so if you speak English and you're learning a new language, look for the cognates- words that sound the same or similar in both languages...
...Their similar sound means they'll be easier for you to remember!
In Swedish, these words include examples such as "studera" and "parkera."
Speakers of German will also find plenty of Swedish cognates to learn from!...

"Learn words in an authentic context!"
Rather than learning words in isolation, learn them in context to help you recall them faster and apply them to full phrases.
Example...
...instead of learning the word "summer" by itself, learn phrases you might use for that word.
-"I visited Stockholm this summer"
- "I am wearing my new summer dress"
-"What did you do on your summer vacation?"

We know a move abroad can be stressful, and often remains a point of difficulty for several months afterward. This difficulty can be worsened by "culture shock," which everyone experiences differently.
So what is culture shock, and what does it...
We're kicking off the week with a language learning hack!
Here's one you can do by yourself - mimic native speakers on YouTube to get familiar with the sounds of the language.
Whatever language you are trying to learn, there are probably a few good vloggers...
...you can listen to. Queue up some of their videos, listen, and mimic. It doesn't matter if you're not sure what it means; you're speaking to learn how to make the sounds!
Swedish has some sounds that many find particularly challenging, and our international team members...

Time for another one of our favorite language learning hacks!
Try the "word of the day method."
Of course, you can't use this approach to become fluent. One word at a time isn't enough! But it's helpful to incorporate this streamlined process...
...as a separate part of your studies, so you can learn a single word faster.
We think this one is particularly fun because it gives learners something to look forward to each day! That's why we like to share a special...
