Some things you must do: Foreign language courses are not similar to other courses so any deferring must be avoided. When you defer a foreign language course, it is as good as a failure and you must ensure that you spend a minimum of 3 hours weekly and 15 minutes on a daily basis for this. Use all the time you have in your hands to pursue the language but never spend more than 45 minutes per session.

Divide your lessons into many smaller sessions. Class Attendance is mandatory and necessary in order to pass the course particularly if you are serious about learning the language. Recapitulate your previous learning on a regular basis as this is good for you, for instance the vocabulary.

Jotting it down: Go through the exercise of noting down things on paper till you no longer have to take any extra effort to do it.

Request a friend to dictate some small paragraph of the language and then find out how much of it has been written correctly.
