Foreign language learning is nothing different from anything else you do in your life. People also make some common mistakes that should have been avoided.
Firstly, focus is all you need. I you might have such experience like this: After researching for much time about a language (German), finally having decided to learn it and having bought almost all of the books that could be found in the local bookstores and even traveled a long way to another place faraway to buy that most desired book, someone speaking another language (French) distracts me from staying with the language I am curently learning.
Believe me, forget about changing over and over. All that you need as a starter is focus on what you are learning. Think about taking another language only after you have achieved the goals you set up for the chosen language. Otherwise, you will end up learning nothing.
Focus on the good things about the language you are working on. The things you love about this language will benefit you very much in avoiding the first mistake. For me, I like the pronunciation of French. But I love that of German because further steps into its pronunciation allowed me to find out that it's the most sexy language when a man speaks it.
2. Varying your language learning each day. Alternate reading, writing, listening, watching during the days of the week. Our purpose as beginners is to build interests. So varying the learning process, things will not easily get boring. And interesting things are always good motivations. However, learning everyday is critical.
Don't study long hours one day when you like to while doing nothing on other days. Familiarity is the most important thing for learing a language. The more familiar you are with it, the more progressive you can get. So do it for 15 to 30 minitues everyday, which is better than 3 hours on sundays.
The third is to find your own featured way of learning foreign languages. If you like movies and TV plays, why not sitting in front of the great invention in the human history and watching some movies in the language you learn. If you like writing, why not keep a diary and ask someone to proofread it for you.
Take myself as an example. I am interested in reading aloud. I can do it for hours long. This could be attributted the teachers back in the primary school who often asked me to read texts aloud to the class. Now I did the same thing in learning a foreign language and found out that it worked to get my mouth familiar with the word flow.
Last but not least, no matter if you are learning a language or have started foreign language learning, please note the above three tips. You will thank me after a few months.
