Try to write sentences or a short paragraph using the skills you have practiced orally. If you study by reading silently, you draw only upon your visual memory. If you study out loud, you double your efficiency by adding auditory memory and you make your mouth work, helping with pronunciation and speech. Augment your learning potential even further by writing what you have read and spoken. You cannot get by in a foreign language course by cramming at the last minute.
Language learning is cumulative.
You learn new skills on the basis of old ones. However, actual learning is not segmented at all, but cumulative. You add new information and skills to the old without superseding them. Don't be afraid to make mistakes . Self-consciousness can be a mighty obstacle to learning a language.
