Ask Benny: How Can I Incorporate the 4 Pillars of Language Learning into My Routine?

This week, Benny looks at the four pillars of language - reading,
writing, speaking, and listening - and talks about his approach
to each of them. He also shares his favourite online resources
for working on each skill. For beginner learners who want to
speak a new language, Benny's advice is to focus almost all your
efforts on speaking and listening. If speaking is your goal, it
should be your main focus.


Using graded materials such as podcasts is a great way to
practise listening, and later, short texts like Twitter posts or
online articles will help you make reading progress without
getting overwhelmed. Writing is a low priority for most learners
until the advanced stages, unless you need it for your job.
