  • A foreign language is different from most courses: you need to study every day not just MWF.

  • Language is cumulative with the current lesson built on the previous one. Neglect and falling behind will snowball.

  • DO schedule your time to allow daily study time. The rule is at least two study hours for every hour in class…

  • but language study should be spr e a d o u t through the week.

  • DO try to divide your study time so that as much as 80% of it is spent in recitation and practice.

  • DO try to schedule some of your study hours BEFORE you go into class.

  • As a participation-type class, you need the material fresh in your mind to be used or performed in class.

  • DO schedule language study hours ASAP if they have to be after class in order to minimize forgetting.

  • Immediate reinforcement helps solidify new material longer and more accurately.

  • “Prime time” will vary, obviously, from person to person...

  • DON’T’S

  • DON’T try to cover the whole assignment in one sitting – break it up into smaller chunks of time.

  • Break it up into “digestible” portions of material, probably following the sectioning already done by the textbook publisher.

  • DON’T cut class – you will get behind, (possibly irretrievably).
