How to Master Foreign Language Grammar

1. Step 1

   Think of a language as a way of expressing meaning. Each language chooses different sounds and arrangements of sounds, to express meaning.

2. Step 2

   Try to "forget" your native language's grammar as much as you can while you're learning the new language. This will prevent "interference" from your native language.

3. Step 3

   Identify how your native language and the new language do things differently and keep these in mind when speaking the foreign language.

4. Step 4

   Review early and often.

5. Step 5

   Find a tutor to give you feedback on what you're doing correctly and incorrectly.

6. Step 6

   Keep lists of new vocabulary and sentence constructions. Review as much as you can each day.

7. Step 7

   Visit a place where the language you're studying is a native tongue, if possible. Speak your own native tongue as little as possible while you're there.
