In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: 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.
Summary: Learn from your past experience. Learn pronunciation. Pay attention to the grammar. Memorize 30 words and phrases each day. Practice the alphabet.

Transfer the parboiled rice to the seasoned vegetables and stir the mixture until it's combined. The rice should turn a little yellow once it's mixed with the seasonings. Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vegetable oil over the rice and stir it to coat the rice. Continue to stir the rice as it cooks over medium heat. The rice will finish cooking and absorb the flavors of the vegetables. For crispier rice, fry the rice in batches so the skillet isn't crowded. Add cup (165 g) of smoked prawns or crayfish and stir it into the rice. Taste the Nigerian fried rice and add salt according to your taste. If the rice is still too hard, add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water or broth and cook the rice over medium heat until it's as soft as you like. If you want to adjust the flavor of the rice, stir in more ground crayfish, curry, or ground pepper. Turn off the burner and serve the hot rice with fried chicken, grilled chicken, sauteed shrimp, or grilled beef. Garnish the dish with chopped scallions. Store the leftover Nigerian fried rice within 2 hours of making it. Refrigerate the rice in an airtight container for 5 to 7 days.

One-sentence summary -- Stir the rice into the skillet. Drizzle in oil and fry the rice for 2 minutes. Stir in the smoked prawns and adjust the seasonings. Serve the Nigerian fried rice with protein.

Problem: Article: A metal scraper is a good place to start, though if you're worried about scratching the surface, you can use a plastic one. The polyurethane should peel off fairly easily as you move along. The paint stripper should have done the hard work. Scrape in the direction of the wood grain. Scrubbing against the grain can damage the surface of the floors or furniture. Plus, if you add any scratches, it will look like the grain of the wood. In curved or decorative areas, a scraper won't work as well. Instead, scrub it with a metal brush, as the bristles will get in all the nooks and crannies and remove the polyurethane. After wash is a solvent you use after paint stripper. Its purpose is to clean up the end of the polyurethane, as well as remove the paint stripper you used. Just use a paper towel to rub it in. You don't have to leave it on for any time. Just rub it on until the rest of the polyurethane comes up. If the first round didn't take off enough of the polyurethane, go through the process again. Apply another layer of paint stripper to the area, and then scrape it down again, checking to see if that completed the process. After you've removed most of the polyurethane, sand down what remains. You can simply use fine steel wool. You can also use 150-grit sandpaper. The sandpaper will smooth it out and take off the last of the polyurethane. The after wash should have taken off most of the polyurethane, which is why you shouldn't need a heavy-duty sandpaper. Always rub with the grain. Take the water and rags to a hazardous waste disposal unit in your town, along with leftover stripper. Do not throw rags and chemicals directly into the trash or sewer. Contact your city to find your local waste disposal center.
Summary:
Use a scraper to scrub it down. Use a steel brush to get into small areas. Rub the polyurethane down with after wash. Repeat as needed. Sand the surface to remove polyurethane. Soak your discarded rags and steel wool in water to avoid fires.
