Never do this!!.

      Never   let   your   work   pile   up   more   than   it’s   necessary. Let   me   elaborate   what   I   mean   by   this   statement. When   taking   classes, whether   in   college/online, there   are   some   courses   that   we   feel   comfortable   with   in   our   ability   to   catch   up   if   we   fell   behind. Let’s   say   for   example   we’re   at   the   beginning   of   the   semester, and   we   know   that   our   first   test   in   course #235   will   be   in   seven   weeks   time, and   so   we   decide   that   we’re   going   to   let   the   chapters   pile   ...

Take classes in sequence.

  Now, taking   classes   in   sequence   may   sound   like   the   automatic   thing   to do, but   I   have   seen   students   taking   college   level   classes   who   did   the   exact   opposite. I   never   got   to   know   what   led   them   to   make   that   choice, but   I   highly   advise   against   it.

You don’t need a dictionary (at the beginning).

  Just   like   a   wise   traveler, any   good   language   student   will   take   stock   of   what   they   need   to   succeed   in   their   studies. This   is   usually   done   at   the   beginning   prior   to   enrolling   for   the   class. At   some   point, every   language   student   will   have   to   use   a   dictionary   in   their   studies. From   experience, I’d   like   to   point   out   that   a   dictionary   isn’t   really   necessary   at   the   beginning, and   this   is why.   You   see, at   the   beginners   level, one   is   just   laying   a   foundation. This   is   where   someon...
