Introduction
This short book is going to show many methods
and tips about effective language learning.

The book doesn’t contain any copy-paste from


another sources, and all methods mentioned in
this book are used and proven by the author. In
this book you will probably find what you will not
find in other places.

Living structure
First of all, let's figure out what the structure of a
language is. This is not a bunch of words, neither
it is a phrasebook of common phrases. In simple
terms, the structure of a language is its essential
grammar. And what is essential grammar?
Essential grammar is the complex of all
grammatical construction that a language has. It
is not about writing grammar, but about
constructions that form speech of full value. And
it is not necessary to be a linguist to understand
this idea.
Let's portray the structure of a language as a tree.
A tree contains roots, trunk, branches and leafs.
A language also contain "roots, trunk, branches
and leafs". It is not about history of the language
neither it is about distribution of the language.
The tree symbolizes living structure of a
language.

PlusSpeak.com
6
A tree starts growing from a root, also effective
language learning starts from a root. Actually,
this tree is a schematic model of any language.

PlusSpeak.com
7
So what are the root, trunk and branches? A
language gets born from a definition of ego. It is
not about psychology, but about pronouns in
living language. So, you got born, and your native
language got born with you. And in the
beginning we say “I”, “You”, “He”, “She”, “We”,
“You”, “They”. These pronouns are roots. And I,
You, He, She, We, You, They can do something,
i.e. produce an action. I do, You do, He does, She
does, We do, They do – the action is the verb –
the trunk of the tree.
An action almost always has its object, its
branch. I do a job, You do a job, He does a job,
She does a job, We do a job, You do a job, They
do a job. The “job” is the object of the action “to
do”, and this object is the branch of this “tree”,
and the branch in the tree is noun.
One can also describe how one does a job? “I do a
good job, You do a good job…and so on”. The
second part of the branch is adjective that
defines how one does something or how
something is.

PlusSpeak.com
8
Everything in a language is connected. A
language is a living structure. The branches also
have leafs. These leafs are all other subject of a
language, for example: cases, grammatical
genders, plural, reflexive verb, passive voice,
particles and others. All these subjects outcome
from the basic “Tree” – pronoun, verb, noun,
adjective.
So, we have figured out what the structure of a
language is. Let’s figure out what is the key to the
language’s door.

PlusSpeak.com

The key and the door
A language is a part of the world. And in order to
open a door to this part of the world – we need a
key. The key is the verb. But why? Because the
verb connects all subjects of a language. Learning
of a new language should be started precisely
from verbs. Because The key is in your hand, and
everything else is behind the door.

What exactly it all means? Learning of a new


language should be started from learning to
conjugate verbs. Starting to learn a language
from nouns is like starting to build a house not
from a foundation but from walls.

PlusSpeak.com
10
In the beginning learn to conjugate verbs in
present, past and future tenses. Learn how to say
“I do, I did, I will do” with all pronouns, and do it
only for simple tenses. Leave the perfect,
continuous, and other tenses for later. Conjugate
10-30 verbs in these tenses in order to feel
confident with them. If you have done it – you
created the key.

PlusSpeak.com
11
First step
Let’s consider an example of the first step of
learning a language. Let this language be
Spanish.
The first step of learning a language, i.e. Spanish
in this example, as I already told before – verb
conjugation. Let’s take the verb AMAR – to love.
And let’s conjugate it with all pronouns:
AMAR – infinitive
YO AMO I love
TU AMAS You love(singular)
EL/ELLA AMA He/She loves
USTED AMA You love(formal)
NOSOTROS AMAMOS We love
VOSOTROS AMAIS You love(plural)
ELLOS AMAN They love

Actually there are 3 groups of verbs with


different endings in Spanish that must be learnt
In the beginning, but this is just an example so
we won’t consider them.
This table, i.e. this conjugation of a verb in
present tense is the first step of learning a
language! Why? There is not sense to learn only
one tense of verbs today, declension of nouns
tomorrow, and perfect continuous tense after
tomorrow, it is too mess!

PlusSpeak.com
12
Also, there is not sense to learn continuous,
perfect, perfect continuous tenses right after
learning conjugation of verbs in simple present
tense. It also leads to mess. So, conjugate up to
20 different verbs in simple present tense and
you will automatically set right endings with all
pronouns. If 20 verbs is not enough – conjugate
more until you start to feel it. When you can do it
automatically in simple present tense – it is time
to start learning past and future simple tenses.

PlusSpeak.com
13
Let’s see the example of the simple past tense in
Spanish:

Yo amaba I loved
Tú amabas You loved
El/Ella/Usted amaba He/She/You(formal) loved
Nosotros amabamos We loved
Vosotros amabais You loved(plural)
Ellos amaban They loved

And simple future tense:


Yo amaré I will love
Tú amarás You will love
El/Ella/Usted amará He/She/You(formal)
will love
Nosotros amaremos We will love
Vosotros amaréis You will love(plural)
Ellos amarán They will love

PlusSpeak.com
14
Finally we have this table - this is the KEY for
learning Spanish!
Present Past Future
Yo amo Yo amaba Yo amaré
Tú amas Tú amabas Tú amarás
El/Ella/Uste El/Ella/Uste El/Ella/Usted amar
d ama d amaba á
Nosotros Nosotros Nosotros amaremo
amamos amabamos s
Vosotros Vosotros Vosotros amaréis
amais amabais
Ellos aman Ellos Ellos amarán
amaban

Learning verbs in the beginning doesn’t mean


forgetting about nouns. And everything else. You
can practice with simple examples using simple
words for example “I do homework”, “I will do
homework”.
So, you’ve learnt present, past, future simple
tenses. It is like you learnt how to say “I do, I did,
I will do” in English, and not only with “I” but
with all pronouns.

PlusSpeak.com
15
Second step
When you are confident with simple verbs - it is
time to connect verbs with nouns and everything
else. In order to do that, we need to know one of
the most important verbs – TO BE. This verb
actually can be learnt in the beginning along with
simple tenses. We need to say e.g. “I am a
student, you were a manager, he will be a
teacher” and so on. We have to know its
conjugation in all tenses.
Here is the example in Spanish:
Yo soy humano I am a human
Tu eres humano You are a human
El/Ella/Usted es He/She/You(formal) is a
humano human
Nosotros somos We are humans
humanos
Vosotros sois You are humans
humanos
Ellos son humanos They are humans

Second step – nouns and adjectives. And also, we


have to know prepositions.

PlusSpeak.com
16
If you learn Spanish, French, Italian or
Portuguese, there is not problem to learn nouns
and adjectives at all. You only need to learn
about grammatical gender that is very easy. But if
you learn Russian, Polish, Czech or Serbian – it is
already more complicated, because unless the
grammatical gender, these languages have cases
that will probably make you sweat! But maybe
not, it depends on your native language.
My recommendation for Slavic languages: when
you learn cases don’t learn them by rote, just
learn the rules of usage and apply; definitely
there will be a lot of mistakes in the beginning,
but step by step you will use to use them properly
with help of listening and reading.

PlusSpeak.com
17
So, let’s suppose we’ve learnt the simple tenses,
nouns and adjectives with prepositions and
maybe something else. What’s next?
Congratulations, if it is so – we already speak the
language, but there is much to learn yet.
Definitely, we should learn all tenses, e.g.
continuous and perfect tenses – it will be much
easier when you already able to use the simple
tenses with nouns and adjectives automatically.
Also, it is important to learn modal verbs, i.e.
“want, can, must” and others. If you climbed that
“language tree” that consists of pronouns, verbs,
nouns, adjectives, you can adorn this tree by all
other grammar items in any sequence. These
items, depending on a language can be: reflexive
verbs, aspects of verbs, degrees of comparison,
particles, imperative mood, passive voice and
other stuff. It will be easy and almost effortless if
your tree is stable.

18
Ready algorithm
1. Verbs in simple present, past and future
tenses.
2. Nouns and adjectives with genders, plural,
cases and what the language has for it.
3. Everything else.

Some languages, as for example Finno-Ugric


languages (Finnish, Hungarian) don’t have
prepositions. Therefore, instead of prepositions,
one can learn their alternatives in these
languages.
Here is my algorithm for learning Russian
language:
Note, that Russian language is considered as
difficult language. However, usually only cases
and perfective aspect of verbs cause difficulties.
But don’t be scared by difficult subjects, they are
usually just 10-20% of the whole essential
grammar!
1. Verbs in present, past, future tenses.
Imperfective aspect of verbs.
2. Nouns, adjectives, pronouns: gender,
plural, cases.
3. Perfective aspect of verbs
4. Everything else

PlusSpeak.com
19
And now imagine, how short this list would be
for Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese! Try to
create such plan for a language you’re going to
learn before start. It will help to organize the
process and choose right teaching materials.

What types of tenses most of
languages have?
Most of languages have simple, continuous,
perfect, perfect continuous tenses. However
some languages, for example Slavic languages,
have imperfective and perfective aspects of verbs
instead of these tenses, but in Russian language
there are some verbs – verbs of motion that can
be conjugated in both ways, and one of these
ways is analogue of continuous tense.

What are the simple, continious, perfect and


other tenses in English language?
Simple: I do;
Continious: I am doing;
Perfect: I have done;
Perfect continuous: I have been doing.

And there are analogues of these tenses in most


of popular languages.

PlusSpeak.com
21
Not enough time to learn!
Let us suppose that you are a busy person, and
you have not enough time to learn a language.
Because as most of teachers say, language
learning require investing some hours every day
for learning. However, I never invested many
hours per day for a language. It is enough to
invest 15-30 minutes per day for learning a new
grammatical subject and fixing new words and
listening. Surely, if you need to speak the
language in one month, it would be not enough,
but without hurry – it is very effective. A
language must not take neither many years nor
many months. Do it simply and do not bound
yourself by standart templates.

22
About learning pronunciation
I prefer not to learn pronunciation in the
beginning. I prefer to listen pronunciation along
the process not spending time specially for
improving it. I saw many textbooks that have
some chapters on tens of pages about
pronunciation. Imagine learning to pronounce
vowels, consonants, syllables during some days
before starting to learn a living language, it is
nonsense! There will be much more effect if you
pronounce words while learning conjugation of
verbs or anything else. When you start to practice
first sentences, you definitely will have accent,
the same as well as if you’d learn pronunciation
of letters and syllables during some days.
However, it is worth to learn simple rules of
reading before starting. It is not about
pronunciation , but reading. For example, in
Spanish, to learn that the letter “h” doesn’t have
a sound, or how to read “Ь, Ъ”(hard and soft
signs) in Russian language.
And also, in Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and other
tonal languages, it is definitely worth to spend
time for learning pronunciation.

PlusSpeak.com
23
Learning a language through
memorizing phrases and words,
useless or useful?
Memorizing phrases and words without learning
essential grammar is completely useless method
of language learning. One can know 100 phrases
and words but not to know how to conjugate
verbs. It can be helpful to memorize phrases
when you already know how they are built.
However, a lot of teaching materials offer exactly
this method.
A typical textbook of any language consists of:
greetings, goodbyes, what to say in a restaurant,
in airport, and other topics and just a little
essential grammar. I am not against those
textbooks because they can be helpful when you
know essential grammar, just for practice, but
not as materials for beginners.
Definitely, greetings, goodbyes, common phrases
and especially stable expression should be learnt
too, but along with essential grammar.

PlusSpeak.com
24
Subtitles – use or not?
If you’re watching a movie with subtitles, you
read subtitles and do not pay attention of voices.
It is simple psychology. You need to catch words
from the speech instead of reading in your native
language. With subtitles it is almost impossible.
Using subtitles is like watching the film in your
native language even if have speaking skills in
that language.
There is a good recommendation about learning
language through films – watch the film that you
already watched in your native language.
Knowing the film, you already know contexts and
probably remember many moments and many
phrases, it will help you to catch new words from
scenes that you already know.

PlusSpeak.com
25
Speaking with yourself
When you are walking outdoor, it is very helpful
to try to think in the language you’re learning.
Even if your vocabulary is low, try to use all
words you know. Just when you walk, try to
describe things you see, and try to think in the
language. Try to change words of your native
language by words of the language you’re
learning while thinking. Do it as much as
possible, it will help a lot! Even when you are
busy you can thing in the language.

Songs – listen or not?


If the language that you are learning is not the
most rare language in the world, definitely there
are a lot of songs in this language. Probably there
are songs in your native language where you
cannot understand the lyrics. In the foreign
language there are a lot of such songs too, so
look for songs with good pronunciation. Find also
lyrics, and read them while listening. It will help
to memorize some words, because words in song
are in context and with rhyme.

PlusSpeak.com
26
Passive listening – does it help?
Find a long video in YouTube with an interesting
subject for you and keep listening. Definitely,
you will not understand everything at once,
neither in some days or week. But the more you
listen, the more words you will start to recognize
in speech, and once you will realize that you
understand the speech. It is passive, you don’t
spend time doing it. Also, when you’re going
somewhere with earphones, listen the language
instead of music, or music in this language!
There are different opinions about passive
listening. Some experienced teachers even write
big articles with proofs that passive listening is
waste of time. But I proved for myself, that it is
not true. Passive listening really works, and not
only for me.
Try not to translate mentally to your native
language what you hear, but try to think in that
language. Fluent speakers don’t translate what
they think and say to their native language, but
they think and talk in that language.
I recommend to do passive listening at least 20
minutes per day. One can listen to radio.

PlusSpeak.com
27
Non-passive listening
Non-passive listening is not just recommended,
but almost necessary. Definitely, videos or audios
should contain a subject that you like to listen.
Speakers should have good diction and the
videos/audios should not be long.
What to listen or watch? Simple podcasts or
video blogs but not long films. In this stage, we
train perception of foreign speech, but films have
different plots and different emotions, in this
stage we don’t need it.
Find a video or audio podcast with duration 2-3
minutes and listen, trying to understand. When
you hear an unknown word, try to translate it if
you hear it properly and fix in your notepad, and
do it for all words. Then watch again with already
known words. Try not to translate the speech
mentally but try to think in this language,
because when we translate words we don’t just
fill in our dictionary but we learn an image for
the word and fix it in brain.

PlusSpeak.com
28
What and how to read?
Reading books and articles can be helpful if to
follow some tips: underline all unknown words,
translate those words and fix them in your
notepad. Don’t forget about that place in a
book/article where you underlined words – read
it again, and try to read it not translating to your
native language in your mind. Don’t avoid
underlining words that you underlined before
again in next pages, do it until you memorize
those words.
However, reading is far not beginner step of
learning. It is better to know essential grammar,
that I called “language tree” in the beginning, to
read a text.
Reading can help to better learn more about word
order in sentences and which words to use in
different contexts. When we begin to speak a new
language, usually we make mistakes with word
order, with time these mistakes disappear, and
reading helps with it. For one word in your
language there can be more than one translation
in the target language.
Don’t read classical literature, amount of
unknown words can disappoint you at once. Start
from blog articles or simple books.

PlusSpeak.com
29
Text and speech
There are numerous of videos or audios with text
available. It can be an audio e-book or an
exercise with text. Look at the text and listen it.
Mark unknown words and listen again. The text
should not be long, so listen the text again and
again until you can understand it well by
listening. There are audio podcasts with text and
speech for some popular languages in BBC-
Languages: http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/

Memorizing new words
Associations
There is a very effective method of memorizing
vocabulary – method of associations. Take a
notepad, write a word and write associations for
this word, associations from those associations.
Here is an example of associations starting from
the word Grad(city) in Serbo-Croatian language.

There are also ways of mnemonic techniques -


method of creating phrases with similar words in
your native language, but personally I didn’t find
it effective.

How to easily memorize prepositions

There is a way to do it quick and smart. Draw an


illustration like this (in this example -
prepositions in Russian language):

In, on, to, above, under, from and others.


Illustrations can help to memorize any words.
Use them not only for prepositions, but mind
another examples.
Also, if you have an application in your mobile
phone where you can make notes – place a note
with some words in the main desktop and
whenever you take your phone from pocket you
will see these words and memorize some of them.

How to learn 50000 words in one
minute(!)

There is a good tip, how to learn 50000 words at


once. I've known it when I watched lessons of
English of one famous Russian polyglot.
So, there are about 50000 words in English that
have endings [-tion], [-sion]. In Russian language
there is analogue - [-ция], [-сия]. In spanish they
have endings [-cion]. In other languages they
have analogues too. Globalization, globalization,
глобализация; Nation, nacion, нация
And there are about 50000 common words
appropriate to this rule!

Antonyms

When you write down words – write down also


their antonyms. You may forget the words
themselves, but you can memorize their
antonyms. For example:

Young – old; light – dark; joyful – sad.

PlusSpeak.com
33
Small papers/Stickers

Take a pack of small square papers or stickers


and write down the words you want to memorize
on them. There is a good way – write the word on
front size of the paper, and its translation on the
backside. Put this pack of papers next to
computer, and look at a word periodically. If you
feel you memorized this word, change paper and
look at the next word. If it is stickers, simply stick
them next to or on the computer. Just think,
doing any tasks at the computer, you will be able
to memorize words passively.
Context
It is useful to write a small context with the word
you want to memorize. The context can be a
small sentence. For example, the context for
Spanish verb “trabajar”-to work:
El trabaja en el banco – He works in the
bank(Spanish)
Also, it is very effective to use a context of your
native language with a foreign word. How? For
example:
I juego the game; Juego – I play (Spanish)
You meskasz in Rome; Meskasz – you live(Polish)

10 words and 1000 phrases
Did you know that knowing just 10 words, you
can make 1000 or more phrases?
Let’s select 10 words, and let’s suppose that we
can use any of these words as many times as we
need in a sentence. And, we also can use all
prepositions, question words and the verb “to be”
apart from these 10 words, because prepositions,
question words and “to be” connect everything in
a language.
Let’s consider an example.
Airplane, road, car, woman, book, big, fast,
phone, to buy, to look.
And let’s build phrases:
The airplane was big and a woman bought a phone
and looked for a road to the airplane.
An airplane is faster than a car, but the woman
looked at the car in the book.
The car is big but the airplane is fast.
The woman bought a phone and looked at the car
and big airplane.
Fast phone looked big.
Big phone looked fast.

PlusSpeak.com
35
The road looked big, car was fast and airplane was
fast and the woman bought phone and looked at the
book.
The book is in car but the phone is in airplane.
Some of these sentences look like nonsense, but
this is just an exercise, and there is place for
“grammatically correct nonsense” used for
training. And you can make hundreds and
thousands of phrases knowing just these 10
words and using them with prepositions with
question words and the verb “to be”. It is a good
way to improve sentence building skills, skills of
declension by cases, genders,
plural/singular(depending of a language),
conjugation of verbs. And also it will help to
memorize these 10 words that you selected.

Language exchange chats
There are online chats for those who learn
languages. I can recommend two of them:
hellolingo.com and sharedlingo.com; I cannot
find pros and cons in these two sites, because
they are almost the same. You can find a
language exchange partners and new friends.
Also there is voice chat there.
Language exchange chats are great opportunity
to improve all skills, not only writing. Even
without speaking by voice new words are filling
into memory and the skills of using essential
grammar are being strengthened. Surely, the
pronunciation is not being improved, but it is not
a problem. There can be a moment when you
already can understand speech and write but
when it comes to speaking you barely find a word
to say – it is easy to fix, just speak little by little,
start to speak with yourself, and the result will
come soon, maybe in some days.

37
About writing grammar
Some languages have very complicated writing
grammar. Russian language is one of them, its
writing grammar can be learnt for months. But it
doesn’t mean that all native speakers know
everything about Russian writing grammar.
Definitely no, after school most of people forget
those difficult rules but most of people write
without mistakes despite of that. Because there
are a lot of formal rules that have no practical
sense. It is enough to know where to place
comma and which unstressed letter to use in
some kinds of words, and other simple stuff.
There is not sense to learn hardcore writing
grammar if you are not going to be a professional
translator of difficult texts.
It is applicable with all languages. University
students of philological faculties can learn
writing grammar of different languages for more
than 2 years. If you learn a language to speak but
not to translate scientific reports, for you it is
enough to know word order and correct writing of
words, that is being learn along with all essential
subjects.

How NOT to learn languages
Let’s create a fictional character. Let’s give him
the name Bob. And let’s see how we should not
learn languages in his example.
Bob decides to start French language. He opens a
guide of pronunciation, and in first day learns
how to pronounce vowels, consonants and
syllables, and in second day he finally reach
instruction of pronunciation French sound [R].
He finally has learnt pronunciation, and he starts
to learn what to say when you come to a café.
And after that he learns about nouns, and after
nouns about verbs in present tense and in
present perfect tense, and then learns French
numbers. He spends many days and weeks and
thinks that learning of languages is very difficult
and that he doesn’t have congenital ability for
language learning. He cannot imagine how one
can know more than one foreign language.
This is a typical example of learning a language
by wrong way. Having discovered “language tree”
method you will not be scared by amount of
pages in any textbook, because you will know
how to use it properly. You can apply this
method even using a long textbook teaching by
Bob’s example, because you will be able to find
needed information and sort it right.

Once I travelled to Poland by hitchhiking. And
while I was going by bus to my first destination, I
opened a self-teacher of Polish, I was learning it
during 1 hour. Polish is similar to my native
language – Russian, however it is very difficult to
understand it without preparation. So, when I
started too hitchhike, some drivers told me
“dobrze mowisz!”(you speak well!). I learnt by
the method of “language tree”.

Two or more languages at the
same time?
In my experience, when I tried to learn Finnish
and Spanish, languages from different language
families at the same time, and listen in one after
another. And I begin to think in both language at
the same time. I tried to talk in Spanish to a
friend native-speaker in Skype and used Finnish
words by mistake. Then I realized that learning
two languages at the same time is wrong.
However, it is possible to learn two languages at
the same time, and I still do it. But not so as with
Finnish and Spanish. Now I learn them
separately. I don’t do non-passive listening with
fixing new words in one language and in another
at once. I just choose by my mood and wish
which one to learn now. Either it is Polish or
Serbian or Spanish. Just the tip is simple – learn,
but don’t mix!

Research more about the
language
Read about the language you’re learning an
article in Wikipedia. Get known, which language
family the language belongs to, which languages
are similar to this, and other interesting details.
This point doesn’t have direct attitude to
learning a language, but it will involve you into
the language more.
