Getting Started
Some MyHappyPlanet members write to us soon after joining, and ask, “so how do I start learning my new language?” If you are unsure how to get started, here are some tips:
- If you haven’t already, fill out the rest of your profile. Other members will find you more interesting if you add a photo and your interests, so be sure to complete those areas at least. You’re much more likely to receive help from other members if you complete your profile.
- Find a friend. On the Friends tab, you will see other MyHappyPlanet members who can help you with your new language. Read some of their profiles, and find some that you would like to practice with. We’ve sorted them so the best matches are near the top, but you can browse as many profiles as you like.
- Once you’ve found some interesting members, send them a message by clicking on the appropriate link next to their profile. When sending a message, be sure to talk a little about yourself, and ask questions — in your chosen language if you can, but if not your partner should be able to speak your native language at least a little. You can even teach them a thing or two! If you’re unsure of what to write, ask them to teach you some basic words and what they mean.
- Once you’ve sent a few messages, check out the Lessons and Videos areas while you wait for responses to your messages. MyHappyPlanet will notify you by email whenever someone replies to your message, so you can write back and continue practicing your new foreign language.
- Teach someone else. You can help other members learn your native language, too. After all, someone helped you get started, so it would be very nice of you to return the favor. When members contact you for help, respond to their messages and teach them about where you are from and some phrases in your language.
These simple steps will help you get started learning on MyHappyPlanet, and before you know it you will be helping others.
