3. Engage with the Content

✅ Active Repetition:

When learning, actively repeat the words, phrases, and sentences. Mimic the sounds, tones, and gestures you see or hear. Say them out loud and clearly. Practice several times until you feel comfortable speaking them fluently. This not only helps with pronunciation but also reinforces memory retention.

✅ Visualize Real-Life Scenarios:

As you learn new vocabulary, visualize the situations where you might use these words and phrases. For instance, when practicing "kàawp-kun" (thank you), imagine a scenario where you've received something from a local person—like help with directions or a compliment about your efforts. This mental imagery will make the language feel more relevant and will help you recall it when the moment arises.

✅ Use Physical Cues:

Pair the phrases with physical gestures or expressions that convey their meaning. This creates a stronger association in your mind makes it more relatable and has an intrinsic natural connection.

4. Practice Regularly

Consistency is key in language learning. Aim to dedicate a specific amount of time each day or week to study and practice. Even short, daily sessions of 10-15 minutes can be more effective than longer, irregular study periods. Consider reviewing vocabulary, practicing pronunciation, or watching videos from the course.

5. Be Patient and Have Fun

Language learning is a gradual process, and it's important to be patient with yourself. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and keep a positive attitude.
