Article: After dipping your paper strip in the paste mixture it's time to apply it to your mask. Take your time and try to apply the coated strip evenly and as smoothly as you can. There will likely be some overlap but try to make each strip cover as much of your mask form as possible. Continue applying strips until your mask has been completely covered in a few layers. Apply no more than 4 layers of paper mache strips. Work slowly and try to have each strip cover as much area as possible. Once your mask has had the initial few layers applied to the form you will need to wait for them to dry. Adding more layers too early can cause problems with the first layers hardening properly, making the whole process take longer. Make sure your first application of paper mache is fully dry before continuing. This may take up to 24 hours for a layer to completely dry. If you feel that your mask is still to thin or not sturdy enough you may add additional layers of paper mache. Once the first layer is completely dry add more strips of paper mache over it, working slowly and making sure each strip covers as much area as possible. Apply no more than four layers of paper mache at this time. Repeat the drying and covering process until it's as thick as you like. On the final application of paper mache to the mask form you can add something to make your mask wearable. Exactly what you add will depend on the style of mask you are making. Whichever methods you use should allow your mask to be held to your face and let you see, breath, or speak through it. Between two paper clips, attach a length of string. Place one paper clip on each side of the mask and cover them with paper mache. Once dried, your string will be held in place, creating a strap to hold you mask on. A simple and traditional method of wearing a carnival mask is to attach a stick and hold the mask up to your face. Take a stick or pipe and attach it to the chin of your mask with paper mache, which when dry will hold the two together. Cut out eye, mouth, or nose holes with scissors or a knife. Hold the mask up to your face to get an idea of where these holes will need to go. Marking these areas with a pen before you cut can be helpful. Once your mask is fully formed with the paper mache and has completely dried you can remove the form. Work slowly as you release the form from the paper mache mask to make sure they are coming apart without damaging either. Once your form is removed, you will be left with only your paper mache mask. It is possible to save your mold and make more masks. Work slowly to avoid damaging your mask. Having a fully formed and dried paper mache mask calls for decoration. Carnival masks are known for their colorful and dramatic features and your mask will need to match that style. Feel free to let your imagination run wild as you decorate your paper mache carnival mask. Paint it with any colors or designs that you find appealing. Add decorations such as gems or feathers with a hot glue gun.

Article: If you've learned languages in the past, go over what you learned then and try to figure out what was most effective for you. What helped you learn? What didn't? Which parts of the process did you find easy? Which parts were hard? When you've sorted this out, you'll be ready to start learning the language. Even if a language has the same alphabet as yours, that does not mean that the pronunciation is always the same. It will help to learn IPA, the International Phonetic Alphabet, as most dictionaries use it. The Foreign Service Institute offers free online language learning materials, which include audio recordings which help with learning pronunciation. The Duolingo app and BBC Languages also offer various languages and useful pronunciation tips. This is probably the most important part of the language besides the vocabulary. "Paul want Mary go store" may communicate an idea, but it is not at all correct English. If you do not pay attention to grammar, you can sound equally incomprehensible in another language. Look at the structure of the language and how the articles work (masculine, feminine, neutral). Getting a handle on the structure of the language will help you understand how it fits together once you start learning different words Ensure you know how to express questions, affirmative and negative statements in the past, present and future using the 20 most common regular and irregular verbs. Start with the most common words. Memorization is half the battle and there are many different ways to memorize. You can practice writing each word a dozen times, which will get you used to using the word itself. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/4d\/Learn-Any-Language-Step-04Bullet01.jpg\/v4-460px-Learn-Any-Language-Step-04Bullet01.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/4d\/Learn-Any-Language-Step-04Bullet01.jpg\/aid67111-v4-728px-Learn-Any-Language-Step-04Bullet01.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

<\/p><\/div>"} Try using the words in various and different sentences. This will help you practice the words and make it easier to recall the words when you need them. Don't forget to keep practicing the words once you move on to memorizing other words. If you don't practice them you will forget them. Especially if you're learning a language which operates on a different alphabetical system, you will need to know what the letters look like and how they operate. For example, this can be a crucial step if you're an English speaker who's learning Chinese. Try associating images with each letter and sound, so that your brain will have an easy path to remembering the letter and the sound that accompanies it. For instance: In Thai the letter "" is pronounced "ah." If you're a guy you can think of this as the path taken by your pee if you're urinating against a tree and the accompanying sigh you make as you relieve yourself. Associations can be as simple, or as silly as you want, as long as they help you remember. You may also have to accustom yourself to reading from right to left, or from the top of the page to the bottom. Start simple and work up to more difficult things like newspapers and books.
