The amount of fun I’ve had with a language is directly proportional to how much I remember 10 years later: like the ridiculous Spanish curse words I learned listening to a friend’s salacious story, or the concerns stammered in Kichwa I heard when traversing some rapids on an ancient, rickety bridge.<\/p>\n

The Italian vocabulary I stared down in a textbook in my university’s library meanwhile, lasted me just until the quiz. So give fun a chance! Here are some things I’ve found particularly fun and effective over the years that might be of service to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Browse\u00a0Reddit<\/a><\/h2>\n

Reddit’s my go-to place for language learning.\"fun-way-to-learn-a-language\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Make an account, explore and subscribe to “subreddits” (pages that are thematically-oriented to one specific region, interest, etc.) where people speak or study your target language. For example, if you’re learning French you might want\u00a0to subscribe to the subreddits\u00a0reddit.com\/r\/learnfrench<\/a>, reddit.com\/r\/french<\/a> or reddit.com\/r\/france<\/a>\u2014that last one being bilingual.<\/p>\n

There, you’ll find great articles in your target language, along with comments from users. You’ll also come across memes, GIFs and fun images. Not only will you learn how other countries and cultures use these media\u2014which is kinda fascinating all on its own\u2014but you’ll also learn about a society’s favorite types of humor, plus ongoing jokes related to popular culture, current events and social issues.<\/p>\n

You can also filter Reddit search results to only pull up posts in your target language.<\/p>\n

You’ll just feel like you’re browsing away on Reddit, but you’re actively connecting with\u00a0communities of language learners<\/a> and native speakers.<\/p>\n
