Build on your strengths
The shame and anxiety that heritage language learners experience is common. So is the burning desire to get better at that language, especially as we age and want to reconnect with our roots.
Carreira has spent years studying heritage language learning. She says a step to improving your language skills is to catalog your strengths.
Break down your language skills into four major categories:
- Listening
- Speaking
- Reading
- Writing
Take note of what you do best in each of those categories. Because heritage language learners often have a foundation in their language, they're different from second language learners who are starting from scratch. In my case, I can understand a lot of Spanish, so my superpower is listening.
"Start with what you can do well – listening – then strategically move to reading on the same topic as whatever it was that you were listening to," she says. From there, you can start writing or speaking about the topic depending on your comfort level with those skills.
For me, this advice was eye-opening. For years, I'd start trying to improve my speaking, which is the skill I'm weakest at. I'd just get frustrated and give up.
Carreira says you're much less likely to stop if you begin with your strengths and build on them.
