so you decided to learn a new language

at first the idea seemed exciting

you bought a phrase book dictionary and

a subscription to an online class ready

to dive headfirst into the language for

the first day or two all was well you

gained ground quickly learning a few

basic phrases and words a week before

learning that language was just a dream

but now you’re actually doing it then

the third and fourth day roll around the

excitement is wearing off you encouraged

yourself to continue and another week or

two goes by but with a lot less progress

suddenly learning a new language doesn’t

fill you with excitement anymore now it

feels more like dread sometimes it feels

like you’re drowning in grammatical

cases verb conjugations and wonky

pronunciation it all seems too much to

handle so you start to think about

giving up but we encourage you not to

give up learning a foreign language is

difficult we won’t pretend like it isn’t

but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it

sometimes you just need to take a step

back reevaluate your approach and come

back to the language with a different

perspective in this video we’ll look at

four tips for when learning a new

language feels overwhelming number one

set aside a designated study time

consistency is key when learning a

foreign language studying 15 minutes

seven days a week will benefit you more

than cramming in two hours one day a

week set aside an amount of time that

works best for you if you can afford to

spend an hour every day learning that’s

awesome go for it but don’t feel bad if

you can’t spend that much time even 10

or 15 minutes a day goes a long way

breaking up your learning into

manageable time segments will relieve a

lot of the stress that can come with

studying a new language

learning is not a race go at your own

pace and try not to compare your

progress with anyone elses number two

take it one bite at a time now that you

have your schedule under control it’s

time to focus on what you’ll actually be

studying it’s recommended that every one

to two weeks you focus on learning a

very specific piece of the language it

could be a conjugation group a case

tense or a collection of theme

vocabulary whatever you choose hone in

on it and do your best to feel

comfortable with it before you move on

to something else ever heard the saying

how do you eat an elephant focusing on

one thing at a time helps you break the

language into digestible chunks number 3

expose yourself to the language in

different ways don’t just sit around

reading about grammar all day

obviously knowledge of grammar is

important but you want to spice up your

practice as much as possible in addition

to grammatical study try to mix in a

combination of reading writing speaking

and listening try to practice reading by

either translating a simple article into

your native language or maybe if you’re

a beginner pick up a children’s book in

your target language for writing you can

try to write out a fictional

conversation between you and yourself

even use the phrases you know to create

a mock conversation and don’t use any

words you can’t think of or you don’t

remember to practice speaking you can

find native speakers locally at a

language club or at a meet-up you can

also find them online in a language

exchange for listening a great podcast

should do the trick

spread out each type of practice

listening reading speaking and writing

across your regular language study

schedule this will give you a balanced

experience in the language and should

help keep things interesting this method

also works well when you use it to focus

on a single aspect of the language like

we talked about above number four set

mini goals not just big ones if your

only language learning goal is to be

fluent you’re likely setting yourself up

for disappointment while speaking

fluently can be your ultimate goal it

shouldn’t be your only one try to set

mini goals month by month and week by

week it could be something simple learn

20 new verbs practice a new case or

speak with three native speakers as long

as it’s specific and reasonable to

achieve in a shorter amount of time it

should work fine not having mini goals

alongside your ultimate goal is a lot

like sprinting across a huge open field

there’s no reference point so for much

of the time it feels like you’re not any

closer to your goal it’s not that you’re

not moving forward it just feels like

you’re not without any trees or

buildings to run past it seems like

you’re running in place

mini goals are like the trees and

buildings of your language race they

help you see that you’re moving forward

and give you a sense of accomplishment

the desire for perfection can get in the

way of your progress don’t freak out

when you struggle to speak or make a

mistake it’s all a part of the learning

process also don’t be afraid to speak

even if you know what you’ll say won’t

be totally correct it’s better to do

your best to communicate in the language

and get it wrong than to never try it

all learning a new language isn’t always

easy in fact often times it’s very hard

don’t let that discourage you though use

these tips to help keep you focused yet

unstress in your language learning a

little perseverance will go a long way

before long you’ll be speaking better

than you may have thought was possible
