What do good language learners do to learn languages?

What can we learn from good language learners - those who speak several languages - about language learning? What characteristics do good language learners have and what strategies do they use to learn another language?

These two graphics show that:

1. good language learners need motivation, exposure, feedback and practice

and

2. good language learners use many different strategies to learn another language.

What is your motivation for learning another language? How do you maximise your exposure to it? How can you practise it more and get feedback when you write or speak it?

Which of these strategies do you use? What other strategies do you use?
