Language learning tips 

 

Hello my dear readers! Time is flying by and it is now time for the final blog post . This has been a fun journey. Learning a foreign language is also a journey. It is a journey that involves mastering grammar and vocabulary of the new language. Though learning different languages is a thing that will always pay you off in life. 

 

A good strategy for learning a new language is immersion. Surround yourself with the foreign language in your everyday life. For example, you can watch TV-shows, listen to podcast, read books or news in that language. The effects of this strategy are maximized through consistensy. You should aim to immerse yourself in the new language everyday. You can do this with any language you are trying to learn. 

 

Another thing you need to do is to communicate a lot with the language you are practising. Speak to other people and if possible try to talk with some native speakers. The more you practise speaking and conversing the more confident you will become in your skills.  

 

Also you have to remember that language learning is a lifelong journey. There will always be something new to learn. Languages are constantly shaping and evolving. This means that you will probably never “perfect” any language but that is perfectly fine.  

 

In my future work enviroment the ability to communicate fluently in English is crucial. The IT field is very international and English is usually used as the standard language of communication. Good communication is a basic building block for an comfortable and productive work community.  

 

For the future ECIP students my most important advice is to stay consistent. Practise even a little bit everyday. The progress may not be especially fast but during longer periods of time you will see substansial improvements. Setting realistic goals is also really important. That could mean that you set a goal of learning 5 new words everyday. Achievable goals motivate and help you stay on track with your learning journey. 

 

Thank you dear readers for the last time. It is time for me to wrap up this blogging journey. I have enjoyed writing my thoughts out loud in English. Who knows, maybe I will continue this type of writing in the future.

  Blogging journey day 1   So this is the very first time in my life that I a m starting to write a blog. Here we go let’s see how things turn around! There I was , a man that had just completed his military service and thinking what should I do in life next. First thing that I had in my mind was that I needed to start making some money. I worked as a cashier for some time and thought to myself that this isn’t something that I want to do for the rest of my life.      Although I wanted to study something , I didn’t know what that something would be. I googled things around and came across this field called computer and information processing science. The pay seemed good and work opportunies vast and quite interesting so I send in my application. Things turned out good and I got accep ted into the faculty with my high school diploma so I didn’t have to take the entrance exam. So that’s how I got in a nd here I am now.     I’m looking ...

 Book review Hello dear readers it has been quite a long time since the last post but I’am back again. Greetings to you if you have yet again found my post. As they say in the north “Winter is coming.” so it has also fallen on upon us in Oulu. Although I ha ve to say that it has been quite a mild one. Maybe we will get more snow in the future ... But enough rambling about random trivial things and let’s get to the point of todays post.      I read a few chapter s from Robert C. Martins book “Clean Code ” . Choosing this book was an easy task. I opened the website containing the list of the books and decided to close my eyes and pick a random one . The book itself was actually almost philosophical and I found that interesting especially with it being a book about coding.      The author used a lot of interesting quotes on his text and you could really see the enjoyment and dedication to this topic from his words. When the book progresse...
