6 Psychological Tricks for Learning Spanish

6 Science-Backed Study Hacks for Learning Spanish 1 Write your notes by hand. Studies suggest that you are more likely to recall information if you handwrite it, because your brain has to focus more on the actual words. 2 Exercise. A 2009 study showed that physical activity can improve brain function, learning, and memory. Try combining the two when you can, like by listening to a Spanish language podcast while at the gym. Chew gum while you study. A recent study showed that those who chewed gum while they learned had higher accuracy rates when recalling information than those who did not chew gum. So pop in some minty fresh gum and get back to studying! 4 Immerse yourself in the language. Language students who immerse themselves in their new language (instead of only learning in a classroom setting) are more likely to absorb it. Try speaking and writing in Spanish whenever possible! 5 Say it aloud. Saying information out loud makes you more likely to remember it! Start with the information that is most important. Zz Don't stress; get some sleep. Even though cramming for an exam or your trip to Spain might seem like a good idea, studies have proven that sleep is more beneficial than extra hours of studying. te takelessons www.TakeLessons.com Sources: http://lifehacker.com/5738093/why-you-learn-more-effectively-by-writing-than-typing/all http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2680508/?tool=pubmed http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/gum-chewing-may-improve-concentrati-13-03-26/ http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0032974 https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/ulterior-motives/201005/say-it-loud-i-m-creating-distinctive-memory
