I’ve been teaching myself languages for the past 10 years, including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hungarian, Russian and I’m now studying Czech. In this episode I’m talking about my current routine for learning languages:) Don’t forget do download the free transcript here below!

Episode 9 transcript and word listDownload

You can also find the podcast on iTunes and Spotify, as well as the PodBean app! And here I will share how to use this podcast efficiently in your Swedish studies:

  1. Listen to the episode and try to understand as much as possible.
  2. Go through the text and translate the words you don’t understand, until you understand most of the text.
  3. Listen to the audio while reading the text. Pause if you need to.
  4. Now listen to the audio without the text. Pause/rewind if you need to. Get back to it in a few days again.

Bonus tips:

  1. Remember the Pareto Principle. 80% of your progress comes from 20% of your effort. Don’t aim to get 100%, 80-90 is better if you want to be efficient 🙂
  2. Listen to podcasts whenever you’re on your way somewhere, cooking, washing dishes, standing in line, traveling, or any other time you can’t sit down to study, but you can use your ears.
