Can You Learn a Language in Three Months?

According to this article, yes, you can learn a language in three months with their five recommended steps.

Their ideas are simple and straight forward, and the common denominator is that you just have to commit to it and stick with it. You dont have to pay a lot of money or throw yourself into intensive courses, you just have to want to do it.

I like their tip about taking advantage of free podcasts and have blogged about that before. iTunes offers a lot of free travel and language related downloads in their iTunes University section, and the BBC and other groups offer similar free language courses.

The most important tip I think they give is to take a phrasebook with you everywhere you go. Dont just make the new language something you look at for a few minutes each day integrate it into your life and quiz yourself as you go.

And why bother learning a language at all? Its true that you can get by with English and some creative hand signals in most places youll go, but your travel experiences will be much richer if you can communicate with the people you meet, and theyll be much more open to you when they see that youre making an effort to understand them.
