Learning Strategies
Language learning takes place both inside and
outside of the classroom. You have to create
opportunities for yourself to listen, to speak and
to write the language outside of the classroom
environment. Everyone learns in his/her own way
and it is important that you develop your own
strategies that will make the learning process
easier and more rewarding for you. We will reflect
on language learning strategies throughout the
diploma. Here are some general tips that may help
you:
Keep a Spanish language notebook.
It is important that you practise what you learn in
the classroom outside of the classroom
environment. A little practice yields great results
for learners.
Keep a little notebook in your pocket to write down new words and phrases – or use
your mobile phone!
If you read them out loud to yourself a couple of times a day, you’ll learn them a lot faster. Learn only
words and phrases that you will actually use on a daily basis. Practise them with other students from
the class and with Spanish speakers that you meet. Many Spanish people will be familiar with phrases
that you will learn in class. Listen to the accompanying CDs provided.
Listen to the CD provided on a daily basis and try to imitate the pronunciation and
entonation of the speakers.
This will help to reinforce what you have learnt in class. You can play the tracks again and again to
learn vocabulary or you can listen to lessons that you have not yet covered in class, putting the
emphasis on Spanish-language pronunciation. By using this approach, you can learn the meaning of
words and phrases at a later date in class. It is recommended that you use a mixture of approaches that
suit your own learning style.
