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   up, but   on   the   sixth   week, a   week   before   the   exams, we’ll   go   back   and   revise   all   the   previous   chapters   and   get   ready   for   the   test. Now, I   have   done   this   with   some   other   classes/courses, but   from   my   personal   experience, I   would   advise   anyone   taking   language   classes, especially   at   the   beginner   level   not   t

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   someone   starts   learning   from   the   alphabet   level, getting   to   understand   the   mechanics   of   the   language. At   this   point, the   emphasis   isn’t   on   vocabulary. This   is   the   time   to   learn   about   the   language   structure, conjugations (past, present, future) etc. Now, this   may   sound   strange, telling   a   prospective   languag

You have just started taking your language classes, and then….

    You   have   just   started   taking   your   language   lessons (could be Spanish, French, Chinese etc) and   then   you   get   to   a   point   and   feel   like   you’ve   come   up   against   a   wall. Nothing   is   making   sense, you   can’t   understand   why   those   words   are   written   the   way   they   are, you   can’t   seem   to   be   able   to   conjugate   any   word. As   a   matter   of   fact, you’ve   even   forgotten   what   the   word   conjugation   means. Most   likely   than   not, at   some   stage, you’ll   hit   this   point. And, the   first   instinct   will   be   flight, because   that’s   how   we’re   wired   as   humans. We   run   away   from   anything   that   threatens   our   wellbeing, including   mental/emotional   wellbeing. If   you   hit   that   point, please, don’t   flee, it   is   a   part   of   the   journey.       One   of   the   things   that   we   tend   to forget, especially   when   we   are   pursuing   a
