Self-study only? The minimum setup learners used 🧰
Many people pass without a course. When you compare their stories, they almost all had the same basic ingredients. 1. The official practice exams · To learn the format and check progress. Free on inburgeren.nl. 2. One main study book or course · Something with structure, so you don't jump around. Learners mention exam trainers and self-study course books. 3. Daily input · Videos, easy news, children's programmes, podcasts. Short but every day. 4. Someone to speak with · This is the part self-learners most often missed. One said his biggest regret was not practising with native speakers. Others used a partner, colleagues, a language café or a tutor. 5. Someone to check your writing · A teacher, tutor, partner or language buddy, even once every two weeks. 6. A fixed rhythm · "Consistency is the key" was the summary in one thread. Several people studied a little every evening. If one of these is missing in your plan, that's probably your weak spot. For most self-learners it is number 4 or 5.
