My Favourite Language Learning Methods (Cho Yee Mon)

My Favourite Language Learning Methods



The innumerable benefits of learning languages are undeniable. Researchers have found that people who master more than one language have improved memory, enhanced concentration, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. However, learning languages is not that easy-breezy for everyone. Some find it easy to learn a language with great success and little effort, whereas for others the task is neither lucrative nor enjoyable. In fact, each of us has our own way of learning languages.

My preferred way of learning languages is learning through music. Being an auditory learner, I can understand and remember things I have heard faster than trying any other learning styles. I can learn new words, their usages and sometimes slang from the lyrics. The very first song I have tried listening to and singing along for learning English was “The day you went away” by “M2M”. The melody was quite lovely and the lyrics were heart-touching.  Since then, I have realized that learning through music is the most effective language learning method for me.


When it comes to learning language, the most basic and important point is to know a person’s particular learning style as it can help us reduce language difficulties and barriers, while maximizing our potential and efficiency.
