Getting fluent!
A special feature by www.languageadvantage.com


You're nearly there - but not quite! There are not as many ways to learn a language once you're advanced - short of going to the country to live and work. However, we've had a good look around and we've selected the best and most innovative ways to get the language advantage for advanced language learners.

Browse through our top 10 ways to improve your language skills to advanced level!

Take a course abroad
more>>

After you've been studying on your own for a while, you sometimes reach a block and can't seem to get any further. This could be the time to head off abroad and immerse yourself in the local language and culture and enrol on a language course. You'll soon be practicing the language all day and that block will disappear and push you up to the next level! You can even take a language holiday and spend the morning in the classroom perfecting your language skills or learning specialist language (for business or pleasure) and then spending the rest of the time scuba diving, dancing or wine tasting!
Available all around the world in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish

   
06
Develop your business or specialist language
more>>
If your language skills are good enough, you could start putting them to work at work and give your organisation the language advantage. You could try a self-study business language course or take an intensive course abroad. You could even take a work placement after your course so that you can meet local business people in your industry.
Available in many languages
   
07
Get a good dictionary
more>>
Now you're really making progress with your language skills, then you could really do with a good dictionary so that you can look up all those new words and expand your vocabulary. You can choose from a classic bilingual dictionary - or take advantage of the technology and get a software dictionary for your PC or carry a handheld talking electronic dictionary with you at all times as your personal interpreter. You may even need to get a specialist business or technical dictionary now to use your languages at work.
Available in over 20 languages
       
08
Get a good grammar book
more>>
You may have been able to avoid the subjunctive and the past historic until now, but you really should be able to master them now, so that you can say that you are truly fluent. There will always be things that you'll forget, so have a good grammar, verb or vocabulary book on hand to dip into when your memory needs a bit of a jog.
Available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish
       
09

Watch a video or listen to music in the language you're learning
more>>

Play local music everyday to keep you in touch with the language - and learn the words from inside the cover!! Watch a foreign language movie to learn a bit of the lingo in real use! Follow along with subtitles or just see how much you can pick up by just watching the film. You'll learn a lot about the culture too. Perfect for a cold winter's night!
