Between a full class load and a part-time job, it can be pretty hard to squeeze in language learning for students. Add to that whatever attempt you’re making to get yourself a social life and time may, indeed, be lacking. Don’t be daunted, though — everyone can learn a new language, provided they’re willing to discipline their time and put in the effort.
Here are some ideas:
Enroll in an in-campus class if one’s available. Many language classes are offered in schools, although the schedule might conflict with your own load. If there’s an opportunity to take one that will fit your schedule, though, do it.
Join a club or start one. Anyone can set up a new club in school. That’s why there’s so many of them. If there’s one for speakers of the language you’re trying to learn, join it. If there’s none, start one. Doing so gives you access to people you can practice with — a great help, especially if you’re studying alone with a language software.
Befriend people who speak the target language. The diversity of people you will meet is one of the great things about college. Regardless of what language you want to learn, there’s a good chance that a speaker or two are in your school. Get to know them and use them as a resource person (make it worth their while by offering something in return, of course).
