  • Try to do something that you like and know you are good at and pair it with your language learning. If you are a singer, go to karaoke, if you are a dancer, go out dancing. Anything from doing yoga to playing football to painting can be turned into a way to speak a language with confidence because you already know that you are good at one of the two activities.
