The great teacher inspires. — William Arthur Ward I honestly think this is a VERY powerful quote especially for teachers and for students finding the right teachers. 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞: The most important thing when learning a language in the beginning is Exposure and immersion BUT if you don't have a notebook or a doc in which you can write that word or sentence down then it will leave ALSO there was a study done where they looked at memory and language acquisition and found out that languages learned without context get forgotten after hours SO learn words in phrases with context :) Exposure is HUGE! Immerse yourself in the language as much as possible and then connect that to a notebook and some form of instant output Wishing you all the best 🙌🏻❤️ Please share your takeaways and some little thoughts that you have.
