stay motivated when learning a language

do you have trouble staying motivated
has it ever been an issue for you let us

know in the comments today you’ll
discover four powerful tactics for

maintaining motivation and I’ll show you
how to apply them to our learning

program okay so some time ago you made
the decision to learn a new language

then you took the first step you started
which is super important but you also

need to keep going for that you need
motivation so how do you stay motivated

or regain motivation if you’ve lost it
here are four simple ways to stay

motivated and keep going number one find
a way to enjoy learning number two see

your progress number three have
something to lose number four do it

regardless of how you feel
let’s start with the first one number

one find a way to enjoy learning if you
want to reach a goal or learn a language

you need to ask yourself some questions
how are you going to do it is it through

a your desire to reach this goal or be
the actual learning process you can want

and think and dream about the goal all
you want but it’s the process the

learning not the wanting that actually
gets you there so you have to enjoy the

process how well what interests you
what’s your passion are you into sports

TV shows music
watching YouTube traveling whatever it

is take your interests and base your
language learning on that take lessons

based on the topics you love you already
have an emotional connection to your

interests right this makes learning much
more enjoyable and keeps you motivated

with our learning program you get free
vocabulary and phrases on all sorts of

topics for example if you’re into travel
you can instantly get a bunch of

vocabulary and phrase list that you can
learn with or you can search through our

lesson library to find audio and video
lessons focused on travel you can use

these to master entire conversations
based on your interest or passion

imagine being able to talk about your
passion in your target language or

talking to native speakers that share
your passion how fun would that be all

right next up number two senior progress
this is the next best way to stay

motivated imagine going to the gym for a
few weeks and finally starting to see

some muscle in the mirror seeing results
is pretty motivating it feels good to

see progress it’s fun so how do you
apply that to language learning you

can’t really see language muscles but
there are a few things you can do first

if you’re learning with your own tutor
or even with our Premium Plus teacher

you can ask them to give you feedback
after every lesson imagine hearing you

did great here your pronunciation was
perfect you’re close to mastering verb

conjugation you just need to practice
more this kind of feedback is very

motivating to hear if someone told you
that you had improved wouldn’t you be

excited
second you can track your progress with

our dashboard on the site so when you
finish a lesson the dashboard tracks

that and shows you how far you’ve come
hours studied lessons completed and how

close you are to finishing a learning
pathway if you see that you’ve finished

30 lessons and have put in fifteen hours
you’ll realize that you can easily do

another 30 and that you want to put in
more time and the more time you put into

language learning the better you get
third come back and review a lesson

you’ve done
for see how much you understand the

second or third time around when you
realize that you can understand more

than before it feels good it’s a sign
that you know more words more grammar

rules and that you’ve made progress
number three have something to lose this

is a little unusual but it works a great
way to motivate yourself is to try not

to lose something in psychology it’s
called loss aversion studies show we

feel more upset about losing ten dollars
than we feel happy about finding ten

dollars now how do you apply this to
language use loss aversion as motivation

invest in a language learning textbook
or a learning program by an app if you

have a basic premium or Premium Plus
subscription then you’re already putting

this tactic to use the point is because
you don’t want to waste your investment

you’ll value and use the resource a lot
more it’s hard to assign value to free

stuff but if you work hard to save up
money for something and you finally get

it you’ll value it more right number
four do it regardless of how you feel

this tactic might help you make the most
language-learning progress of all in

reality you’ll feel tired some days some
days your mind will be elsewhere and you

won’t want to learn and some days life
will happen things will pop up school

work tests birthdays you might get sick
but do it anyway

learn language anyway do one audio
lesson a day to keep it easy review the

word of the day email which we send out
daily this takes only a minute just put

in the time even if it’s a few minutes
as long as you keep going and maintain

the habit you’re better off in the long
run so take these tactics and apply them

to your lessons apply just one stick
with it and you’ll notice a change in

your motivation
