Have you ever thought about learning a new language?

Without even knowing you, I can tell the answer is yes. After all, you want to travel the world, explore different cultures, and become the type of person you want to be. But for one reason or another, you don’t know how to start.

Right? You tell yourself that it would be an incredible experience to speak Spanish on the beautiful beaches of Mexico or Costa Rica. But with jobs, family, and other aspects elements of life taking over your schedule, it’s understandably difficult to find the time.

Over the past few months, we’ve all found ourselves spending a lot more time at home than usual. So if you’re hoping to be more productive during quarantine, now is the perfect opportunity to learn a new language.

Here’s how.

1. Download Language Applications

When you start from the beginning, using applications such as Duolingo is a great way to start the process of learning a new language. After all, they focus on teaching you basic vocabulary and grammar that you’re likely to encounter during a conversation.
