Once you’ve mastered the basics of a foreign language, there’s a fun way to start learning another. This time, don’t start from your native language; instead, use the language you’ve just learned. Look for apps or books that teach you a second foreign language in this new tongue.

By doing this, you’re not only expanding your skills with a new language but also deepening your understanding of the first language you learned. Often, we learn languages sequentially, which makes it challenging to maintain proficiency in each. To address this, memory techniques like spaced repetition can help by scheduling review sessions at regular intervals after intense learning phases. However, constantly reviewing the same vocabulary can soon feel limiting.

Learning a second language through the first one keeps you practicing without much extra effort. It’s like a juggler adding another ball to their routine once they’ve mastered two—keeping your skills sharp while expanding your linguistic abilities.
