Switch the Language on Your Phone for an Immersive Experience

Previously we have written about how immersion is one of the best ways to improve your Spanish. However, most people can't simply move to a Spanish speaking country to start talking to Spanish speakers. The next best way to achieve immersion is by making small changes to your daily habits.

In this article, we'll cover how changing the language on your phone can provide an immersive experience, right at home. We'll also provide help on how to switch the language on your phone.

Repeated exposure is the key to learning

The core of learning anything is memorization, and the core of memorization is repeated exposure. This is handy to consider for language learners, since we can make small changes to daily habits to get repeated exposure without much additional effort. As we've discussed, one easy change to make is to switch the language on your mobile phone. Since we're constantly looking at our phones throughout the day, repeated exposure is no problem, and we can actually use it to our advantage.

Language settings

Switching the language on your phone will display text from the operating system and apps in the chosen language. If you're reading this, you probably have it set it to English. However, changing it only takes a few seconds. You can find the language options in the settings app of your phone. The setting is similar on Apple and Android devices, and can be reverted easily if needed.
