jump into today’s topic

[Music]

how to keep your motivation going even

when your reason for learning a language

changes

first here’s a question for you what was

your reason for starting this language

you might have started learning for

travel for the culture to watch tv shows

or understand music

or because someone you know speaks it

and you want to try speaking with them

all of these reasons have something in

common they’re external

meaning you’re trying to get some

outside reward or benefit

like a friendship a personal

relationship travel or living in the

country

you can say they’re also external

motivations

all of these reasons are why most people

start learning languages

they’re exciting all of us want to

understand a tv show 100

or have a conversation with native

speakers but the problem with external

reasons

is that they may not last very long have

you ever been motivated to start

learning only to lose that motivation

and months later you realize you made no

progress on a goal you wanted

it happens quite often for example you

want to learn a language for travel but

then the pandemic happened

and you weren’t able to travel or you

were learning to enjoy tv shows but the

shows are way too complicated and you

find you’re no longer enjoying them

or you’re learning for your partner but

then you break up

when that happens all learners come to a

crossroads continue or quit

most people quit because the reason they

started is no longer motivating

so how do you keep going in the first

part you learned that most reasons for

starting are external reasons

like traveling meeting new people being

able to watch tv shows and such

for external motivations however your

reason for starting a language

isn’t often the reason why you continue

learning it’s natural for your reasons

to change

so what do you do when your initial

reason for learning is no longer working

if your current motivator isn’t working

switch to an internal reason

external reasons are about getting some

outside benefit

internal reasons have more to do with

yourself for example

you could say you’re learning the

language because you want to improve

yourself

you want to achieve this goal you’ve

failed goals in the past so now you’re

determined to make it work for once

you’re the type of person that gets

things done all of these are examples of

internal reasons

where you make it about yourself

external reasons can only last so long

even external reasons like you want to

live in that country so you want to

learn the language

aren’t enough there are plenty of people

that move abroad to learn a language but

end up losing their motivation

anyway and psychology studies show that

internal reasons

internal motivation doing it for

yourself is much more powerful than

external

doing it because you want to is much

more powerful than doing it because you

have to
