Some of the basic rules: Foreign language courses are way apart from other courses and you should never stall the proceedings. Any postponement means failure in a foreign language course where it is mandatory to put in minimum of 3 hours weekly and 15 minutes on a daily basis. Try to spend as much time as is in your hands but never devote more than 45 minutes per session when you are learning the language.
Distribute your whole study into small units. If you are serious about passing the examination then attend classes regularly. Run through your past learning on a regular basis as this is going to improve your learning for example check out your stock of vocabulary. Hints given blow would make your attempt to learn the foreign language easier.
Grasping the written words: Check out only those words where no conjecture can help or whose meanings can not be surmised. Make it a routine to browse through the chapters of the textbook everyday.
Move on to talking: Everyone makes mistakes so listen to what others are saying and start to talk. Practice speaking out loud on your own, in a group of friends studying the same foreign language and with your pets such as a dog or cat.
Putting pen to paper: Practice your skills on putting down your thoughts on paper till it becomes effortless.
Ask a friend to dictate a passage of the language and then later check it for accuracy.
