   - **Listen to [music](music.md).** Music is amazing, it's beautiful, you love it, forming emotional bond with the language, and it gets stuck in your head, you learn the lyrics easily and with it all the words and grammar used in it. If you have favorite songs in another language, look for their versions in the language you're learning, you will likely find at least unofficial ones. It is the case that for example many Italian songs have also official Spanish versions.
   - **Read [books](book.md).** Beginners often try to read children books so that the language is not too difficult, but you will likely be bored reading a child book, it may be better to rather choose a book that's genuinely interesting to you (for example about your favorite video game or a topic of interest) and then try to slowly get through it with a dictionary. There exist learning bilingual books that come with a side-by-side translation; you may achieve this also by downloading the book in your native language and in the language you're learning and just reading them side by side, for example by paragraphs. If you're a retard who can't read also consider audio books.
   - **Set your electronic devices to the language.** For example your cell phone, operating system, games you play etc.
-  - **Play [games](game.md).**
+  - **Play [games](game.md).** You can set a game's language to the one you're learning or play games specifically designed for language learning.
   - **Watch movies with subtitles in the language you're learning.** Do NOT put on subtitles in your native language, that will just make you read them and not focus on the language you're learning. It may be cool to watch movies you already know and like in the foreign language dub, you will just know what's going on and you'll likely at least remember the memorable lines.
   - **Watch [memes](meme.md), videos etc.**
   - **Move to a country that speaks the language.** Obviously, works probably 100% of the times, but takes some dedication.

 - **Do NOT translate word for word in your head.** You don't want to be consciously translating in your head, this is a mistake that beginners often do, they think they must do this but no, that's not your goal. If you feel the need to translate in your head, you're just still too bad at the language -- keep listening to the language more and more, "absorb" it until you just hear the language and you understand it immediately without replacing words with the words from your native language.
 - **Don't try to understand 100%.** Another beginner mistake is to listen to something or read something and stop at every single unknown word, being frustrated at not understanding a whole sentence etc. This just makes you spend 10 minutes on every sentence and staying frustrated that even then you don't understand it completely because of some more advanced grammar or slang you couldn't look up. You want to do this: listen, listen, listen, read a paragraph or two and then stop, ask yourself: do I have a clue of what's being talked about? If yes, great! It's enough if you cough let's say 10%, it doesn't matter you missed some words or sentences, keep going. If you're clueless, rewind and listen again, you'll probably catch more. If there is a word that's being repeated in every sentence and you couldn't reason out what it could be, quickly look it up, but don't bother with the rest. You want the language to flow. Don't worry, if you're focusing and have some idea about what's going on, the brain is subconsciously absorbing the language even if you don't know about it, just keep doing it, in a month you'll see you'll be another step ahead. Test it: get back to the same stuff and see if you understand more than last time -- it's almost certain you will.
 - **Lover is the best language teacher.** { And vice versa lol? ~drummyfish } However you're probably an [incel](incel.md) virgin so this doesn't matter anyway.
-- **Exploit general learning techniques.** For example reading before sleep may be effective to remembering it better. Other people learn very well by making cheatsheets -- you can hang your cheatsheets on a wall so that you see them every day and get reminded about the words you're learning etc. Other people like to make word cards and whatnot, just do whatever works for you.

Word cards can also be placed around the house etc. Just do whatever works for you.
 - Do NOT use fucking [proprietary](proprietary.md) [capitalist](capitalism.md) language "[apps](app.md)", they fucking just give you brain [cancer](cancer.md).
 - **Watch out for false friends**. These are words that look and sound very similar to words in a language you already know, but they mean something different, so you may easily end up using them wrong. For example "actual" in Spanish doesn't translate as "actual" in English -- in Spanish it means "current" (as in "current events") whereas in English it means "real".
 - If you want to get super serious and git gud even at pronunciation, there are techniques such as shadowing (trying to speak over native speaker recordings, imitating them) etc. But this is not needed if you just want to communicate or if you don't even talk to people [in real life](irl.md), it's just for nerds who wanna flex probably.
