Follow the Study Plan for Your Level
Apply the principles of language learning in Preach My Gospel, chapter 7, as you practice and seek the gift of tongues.
“Part of seeking the gift of tongues is to labor and do all you can to learn the language. Be patient as you prayerfully study and practice the language. Trust that the Spirit will help you as you make a diligent effort” (Preach My Gospel, 143).
