they’re yours to keep forever okay let’s

jump into today’s topic

how to adjust your routine and learn

language from home

recently many people have started to

work and take classes from home

with language learning since it’s

something people do in their own time

a lot of it is done at home anyway but

that doesn’t mean that all of this

hasn’t affected how people learn

if you use the language learning app or

listen to lessons during your commute

but you don’t commute anymore the

pandemic has probably ruined your flow

with many of us spending more time at

home being able to learn from home

efficiently is a good skill to have

because while learning or working from

home sounds good

it’s not exactly easy to do part one

the pros and cons of learning at home

first the pros

there’s convenience you can learn

whatever you want

you also have more time in the day since

you’re not commuting or walking from the

train station into work

it’s also easier to practice speaking

many people might find it hard to

practice on the train or

at a lunch break or in the office during

work it might sound a little strange

but at home you can dedicate more time

to practicing speaking

what’s your favorite pro of learning at

home leave us a comment

now what about the cons distractions

there are a lot more distractions at

home there’s the tv

there’s the couch and the food and

family members coming in and out

next there’s no physical or mental

separation between rest and work which

is crucial for focus

it’s the same reason why people prefer

going to the gym instead of working out

from the comfort of their own home

if you’re in a place where there’s only

one goal like working out

and you’re surrounded by people working

out you’ll have no problem doing it

but if you’re in a place you associate

with rest eating and watching tv

you might have trouble focusing but if

you’re spending more time at home then

you should at least make the best of it

and learn your language at home

part two how to successfully learn from

home

without getting distracted so here’s how

you do it

first pick a dedicated place for

learning and preferably not your bed

just like an office is associated with

working time and your bedroom is

associated with rest

you need a place associated with

language learning it could be your desk

in the corner of the room

it could be your basement as long as

it’s far from distractions and places of

rest

[Music]

second pick a time that way for example

when it’s 9 pm you know it’s time to put

in 10 minutes of language learning

three time box your study sessions

what’s time boxing

time boxing is simply setting a fixed

amount of time for an activity

for example you’re going to dedicate the

next 10 minutes to language and nothing

else

if you usually have trouble

concentrating time boxing is a good way

to set

boundaries and get things done four

start small just like with setting small

measurable goals and realistic routines

don’t set aside two hours for study time

instead

try to time box 5 10 or 15 minutes and

stick with that for a week or two

you can always increase your time later

once you get more comfortable with your

routine

do multiple sessions in one day

instead of trying to master a lesson in

the lesson dialogue in one

shot space out your learning throughout

the day

in the morning afternoon and at night so

take an

audio or video lesson and read along

with the lesson notes in the morning

you’ll get acquainted with the

conversation all the words and grammar

rules

don’t rush to memorize it all you’ll

come back to it later in the day

and do this for around 5 to 15 minutes

during the day practice shadowing the

dialogue

practice recalling the words do this for

around 10 minutes

you can also write out the lesson

dialogue practice using the grammar

rules or drill the words with flashcards

and at night come back and review for

about 10 minutes

you can re-listen to the lesson or just

the dialogue track

by doing multiple sessions in one day

you’ll be a lot more comfortable with

the language

simply because you spaced out your

learning and came back to review

and while it may feel repetitive it’s

the repetition that helps you master the

language over the long term

use at home time to practice speaking

it would be hard to practice if you were

commuting or out on a walk

but if you’re at home you can easily

speak out loud without drawing attention

or feeling embarrassed so to recap

one pick a specific place for learning

that’s far from distractions like your

bed

two pick a specific time for studying

three time box your study sessions

four start small five

do multiple sessions in one day and six

use at home time to practice speaking
