English teacher Justin Garcia writes of his experience learning Thai, especially when confronted with a daunting assignment. He remembers the strategies that he uses as a teacher and applies them to his own learning, reinforcing along the way the importance of these strategies from a student's perspective. The strategies are as follows:

 

1. Provide accessible, strategic use of dictionaries

2. Use multiple sources of input (photos, realia, videos, subtitles)

3. Provide opportunities for students to lead their own learning

4. Strategic use of graphic organizers

5. Use of home language to make connections
