Successful language learner Anecdote in Hong Kong Practices talking to himself. Uses himself as a conversation partner.

Successful language learners Put some extra into it themselves to go beyond what is available in their classroom: - Keep a vocabulary journal - Take things that they hear- new words, new expressions and so on.
