Learn 10 useful words in a new language
Why this matters
A handful of words can open doors, build goodwill, and keep you safe in an unfamiliar place. Learning ten useful ones is a fast, practical start in any new language.
What you need
A phrase you want to learn and a few minutes to repeat them.
These are everyday items. If you don’t have one, look for the closest alternative — the steps will tell you what to use instead.
How to do it
Follow these steps in order. Take your time. You’ve got this.
Pick ten words you will actually use, like hello, thank you, yes, no, and how much.
Say each one aloud several times and link it to a picture or gesture in your mind.
Use them in real situations the same day so they stick through practice.
