When Lýdia Machová gave a TED Talk about learning languages, she did not speak her firstlanguage, Slovakian. Instead, she spoke fluent English and shared that she can speak seven otherlanguages. She learns a new one every two years. To many people, this seems impossible. However,Lýdia says she is not particularly intelligent, and she believes anyone can learn a new language.Through her own experience and from meeting other successful learners, she has found out somehelpful methods.

Lýdia believes that there are many different ways to learn a language. You can study commonwords, practise grammar, use phrase books or listen to podcasts. Almost any method is fine – the mostimportant thing is that you enjoy the learning process. For example, when learning German, shewatched Friends in German. At first, she did not understand anything, but over time, she could followthe story. She did something similar with Spanish, reading Harry Potter books that she had loved as achild.

Another tip is about learning vocabulary. It is easy to forget new words, so she suggestsreviewing them every day, one week and one month. This helps you keep them in yourmemory.
