There may be more people around you, ready to help you practice your target language, than you think. But even one would be a boon, right?! So let’s run a little thought experiment.
Envision for a moment the people that you regularly encounter in daily life: the cashier at the grocery store, the gas station, or the coffee shop; the front desk employee of your workplace, your bank, or your gym; a player in your pick up sports games, poker nights, or online video games; a family member’s parent, teacher, or friend.
Do any of those people speak your target language?
If so, those people could potentially be your Target Language Allies (TLAs)! You can try to recruit them to your cause and ask them to only communicate in your target language with you! This language hack can even work virtually if you consider who you often text, e-mail, video chat, or game with.
No need to divulge personal names and details, but let us know in the comments section below about your potential or current TLAs!
Every day, we’re posting information and inspiration to help keep you on your language learning path via Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram (weekly). Just follow or search the hashtags below.
