Reading silently is not productive:
use your voice! Read aloud: think of it as training your mouth to make the new sounds!
Drills:
Learn a short standard sentence, then substitute vocabulary, even words you look up for fun.
Subject and verbs can change (I am going; you are going; etc.)
Objects can change (I buy a car; I buy a CD; etc.)
In class, if your “answer” does not come to mind
repeat the question in the language, or use your new language to say that you don’t know, or need help! For this last, prepare a standard response that you can fall back on, but be prepared to respond to a question that follows your response! Stay in the mind set of the language, giving your brain time to work in the new language.
