Consejos para alumnos estancados en el aprendizaje de una lengua

Este artículo está en inglés, pero lo publico aquí porque me parecen muy interesantes las recomendaciones que dan para estudiantes que sienten que no avanzan con una lengua:

4. Move 27 things: an example checklist for stuck language learners

I. Write things down more often…
II. …or try making fewer notes.
III. Carry a dictionary with you…
IV. …or choose to leave it at home just once.
V. Try out the online translating tools…
VI. …or decide to do one homework assignment without them.
VII. Change where you sit in class.
VIII. Change the way you greet foreigners.
IX. Read a new article in the language you’re learning.
X. Listen to a new song in your language.
XI. Learn a new idiom, proverb or slang phrase.
XII. Adopt a word for 24 hours – you earn a treat if you manage to use it in the right context that day.
XIII. Swap notebooks with your classmate.
XIV. Decide to ask more questions for 1 day…
XV. …or choose to listen instead of yapping all the time.
XVI. Go through a lesson / article / audio clip that’s much too easy for you…
XVII. …or tackle something that’s way out of your depth and much too hard.
XVIII. Try doing one thing in a foreign language that scares you…
XIX. …or look at one familiar thing as if you’d done it for the first time ever.
XX. Sing in your language for 3 minutes.
XXI. Draw a picture and label it using the language you’re learning.
XXII. Read a blog, think about it and leave a comment.
XXIII. Throw away one newspaper and magazine that’s in your mothertongue. Replace with foreign language equivalent.
XXIV. Find strangers. Interact on a simple level…
XXV. …or get in touch with an old friend / former classmate and see if you can practice again.
XXVI. Switch your gadgets’ interfaces to the language you’re learning.
XXVII. Learn 10 words in a completely new and unrelated language.

A mí me gusta el consejo 12: adopta una palabra por 24 horas y trata de usarla en el contexto adecuado y el 22, lee un blog y escribe un comentario.
