Language Learning Techniques

We have gathered the practical, evidence-based language learning techniques that help you learn a new language faster and retain it longer.

With the right techniques, learning a new language can become a far more enjoyable and productive process. Everyone learns differently, but a handful of proven methods will noticeably increase your learning speed.

Spaced repetition means revisiting words and phrases at set intervals, just before you would forget them. Fifteen to thirty minutes of regular daily practice is far more effective than one long weekly session.

Using the language in a real context accelerates learning: practise speaking one-to-one with native-speaking teachers, watch series and films, listen to music, and summarise what you read in your own words.

At Birebironline, one-to-one lessons with expert native English-speaking teachers bring all of these techniques together in a single programme so you reach your goals faster.
