Tips for Navigating the Absolute Beginner Stage of Language Learning: 
 

Take a language learning course.
It’s important to get a 
solid base in a foreign language, and taking even a month-long 
course can give you some basics to upgrade yourself to the next 
stage of language learning. You really need a textbook to explain 
grammar or else you’ll be fighting mistake-making tendencies for 
years to come because you learned your foundation on the go. 

Listen to native speakers -- 
a lot.
Start picking up on words and sounds you 
hear a lot and write down your closest 
approximation of them. By asking a native speaker 
what those words mean, you can start to piece 
together common phrases used in that language. 

Focus on phrases, especially those 
you need for daily life.
At this stage, you 
want to transition into the ability to “get 
by.” Write down (in English) the phrases 
you wish you knew that you’d use every 
day and get a native-speaking friend to 
teach you how to say (at least) those things. 
Focusing on the practical things you can 
use right away is also encouraging because 
it’s stuff you use immediately and get 
positive feedback from locals.

Stage 2: Getting By With Baby Talk 
My best friend had been taking a course in English for two months when she 
proudly reported back that she had a full phone conversation in English to check up 
on the delivery of a FedEx package. The rough translation of the conversation was 
something like: “Hello, good morning. Package is not here. When does package come 
here? Saturday in the morning, please? Monday is good, thank you.” 
This is what we can call the "baby talk" stage of language learning. At this 
stage, you’re piecing together the words you know using the most basic grammatical 
structures. You sound downright silly, but you’re getting around! People understand 
you! 
It’s a stage that’s actually a ton of fun because you’re in a sweet spot: the locals 
are delighted that you’re trying and will entertain your attempts, and you’re freed 
from the pressure to speak perfectly since no one expects you to actually say things 
right. Take advantage of this stage to babble like a toddler!
