Learning a second language is an important skill that’s not as hard as you may think! In addition, if you travel for work internationally or even in the United States, fluency in several languages can make you an even more essential asset in your workplace. In this post, we’ll discuss some resources that you can use to brush up on your language skills…all while staying in our Shreveport LA rentals or wherever you currently call home!
Learning How to Learn
They say that practice makes perfect. And, in a sense, that’s true! Learning a new skill (such as baking or language) is a gradual process that takes time. DuoLingo is a wonderful smartphone app that can help you learn in a fun and engaging way. It’s free to use or they have a paid version that has some extra perks such as “unlimited hearts” if you make errors often. The app has many languages to choose from, including Spanish, German, French, Arabic, Hebrew, Welsh and more. Lessons are graded as you go and vary in order to help you increase fluency in speaking as well as in recognition of the words aurally and visually.
While staying here in Shreveport, visit the Shreve Memorial Library and check out the e-audiobooks, e-videos and e-books available there. Once you’ve gotten your library card, you can view the catalog online and reserve the digital or physical copies of the materials you’re interested in. There’s a wealth of options to choose from!
Prefer to work directly with a real person when learning? Verbling, Preply and italki are all online platforms where you can speak with a person to improve your pronunciation and gain a better understanding of / foundation for the language you’re trying to learn.
Please keep in mind that we are providing information about these resources as a convenience to our current and potential tenants! We don’t specifically endorse any of the apps, organizations or companies listed.
