Welcome to Nuria's Lab.

What's the best Methodology to learn languages?

Your Own.

The amount of tips, methodologies and videos on YouTube laying down the perfect methodology or way to learn a language can be overwhelming. 

The reason why there are so many different methodologies and ideas out there is because we are so many in this world! and each of us learns differently, and what works for me might not work for you. There's no "one size fits all" when it comes to education. 

Learning is about exploration. And the first exploration we must do is finding what works for us! what moves you and what you enjoy.

Nuria's Lab is more a Laboratory than it is a School. I lay out the space and the tools for you to design your own learning journey, and I am here to make sure you're on the right track.

What can you find in this lab?

Key components to include in your language learning journey:

1. Pronunciation
   • Develop familiarity with the language's sounds and phonetics.
   • Learn to produce each sound using International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) references.

   • Acquire any accent and reduce yours using actor’s training techniques - particularly beneficial for intermediate and advanced.
     
2. Fluency
   
   • Develop your fluency by engaging in conversation.
   • Get to know the person with whom you’re communicating.

   • Adapt to social situations and roles.
   • Feel a sense of belonging within the community of your target language.
   • Address psychological barriers that may impede your language acquisition.
