Hello, I'm Bengisu...
Hello, I'm Bengisu Hanimoglu. I am a research assistant at the university. My mother language is Turkish. I want to improve my English level. I also know French at A1 level. I'm just learning. What are you doing to improve your language?

Welcome Bengisu! I really like the Turkish language! I will try to learn something new here.
Hello Bengisu, Its good to see you here, I have been studying Chinese for 3 and a half years, to improve my language, I used to listen a lot and repeat in order to improve my pronunciation and listening, and sometimes I would write what I heard, or turn on the record, and at the end I would say what I understood from it, also I used to memorize many words and insert them into sentences, or choose a topic and memorize words that help me to talk about this topic.
Wonderful. Chinese must be quite difficult. Maybe the mistake I made was that I didn't spend enough time learning the language. Although I have been taking French since high school, I don't feel very comfortable speaking in different languages. I don't have this problem when I'm reading or writing. Maybe I should focus on talking a little more. I also like to play games while learning the language. It's like trying to derive a different word from its last letter. Maybe we can play such games here by developing different games to learn the language.

One thing that works/worked for me is emerging myself in the language that I am learning. Like listening to music, watching movies, and reading books in the language that you are learning. This is of course excluding studying for a couple of hours.
Very true. I think that when you put language into your life, you develop faster in that language. But I guess I'm not very good at listening. If it is a language that I do not know very well, I cannot understand it in music. In this case, are you trying to understand the whole of the song, or are you constantly stopping and replaying it, or do you understand it directly without the need for any of these?
