8 Tips If You Struggle to Speak English

if you’re learning a new language there

will be times when you’ll struggle with

the lesson when you won’t fully

understand what you’ve learned when

you’ll be in a rut or when you just

won’t feel like you’re making any

progress and that’s totally normal in

this video you’ll learn what to do if

you’re not learning and how to overcome

language learning struggles let’s begin

number one understand the mindset of a

successful learner some learners are

more successful than others

a key difference between successful

learners and less successful learners is

in the way they approach problems some

learners rely completely on a learning

program if there’s a grammar rule or

word they don’t understand they get

frustrated and blame the program they

don’t look for solutions successful

learners approach problems a little

differently if they encounter a problem

they look for a solution or ask for help

instead of getting frustrated

you may feel frustrated at times

especially if you’re a beginner but how

you choose to react will make all the

difference number two set small

measurable realistic goals with a

deadline most learners fail because they

set big vague goals like I want to be

fluent when they realize they have no

idea how to do that

they lose motivation and quit the

solution to this set small measurable

realistic goals with a deadline for

example finish 10 audio lessons by the

end of this week learn 20 words by the

end of this week speak one minute of

conversation by the end of this month

listen to lessons for just 5 minutes a

day every day this month now your goals

are small and realistic enough to

accomplish their specific and measurable

so you know when you reach them and the

deadline gives you a finish line for

example either you learned all 20 words

by Friday or you didn’t when you reach

your goal you gain a ton of confidence

this improves your chances of reaching

your next goal because you’ve had

experience reaching a goal and you

understand the things you need to do to

be successful

number 3 read along with the lesson

notes and lesson transcripts now what if

you’re doing a lesson but you can’t

catch a word take advantage of the

lesson notes and lesson transcripts

read along with the lesson the lesson

notes give you in-depth grammar and

vocabulary explanations that are not

available in the lesson and the lesson

notes give you the word-for-word

transcript of everything said in the

lesson so if you want to pick up every

word reap a transcript number for review

because repetition is the mother of all

learning if you’re struggling with a

particular word grammar rule or lesson

be sure to repeat and review it a few

times and then come back a few days

later and review it again this same

principle is used in our spaced

repetition flashcards the system quizzes

you onwards then requisite you in three

days then in six days and so on until

the word gets embedded in your long-term

memory some things you can do right now

are download the lesson and lesson notes

save the words to your word bank or even

write down the words or grammar rules

then come back to review them later

number five reach out to our teachers

and ask questions if you’re a Premium

Plus member you can easily get in touch

with your teacher and get all of your

points of confusion cleared up or you

can always leave a comment on our

lessons and our teachers will get back

to you remember you’re not alone if

you’re struggling with a lesson you can

always get in touch with us

number six take a break and go do

something else another thing you can do

is take a break and do something else

that doesn’t require much thinking

there’s a reason our best ideas come

well in the shower or while taking a

walk while you’re on a break your brain

is more relaxed and starts making

connections that you couldn’t see when

you were focused and stressed out

it’s also why coming back to review

things with a fresh mind can help you

better understand the lessons you’ve

taken number seven downgrade your

learning routine if you’re studying for

30 minutes a day and find yourself

overwhelmed or if you suddenly find

yourself busy the best thing to do is to

reduce your study routine to something

easier and more manageable if you’ve

been learning 30 minutes a day drop down

to 10 or 15 minutes even 5 minutes is

good enough because language learning

success comes with consistency quitting

and coming back every three months won’t

work

this brings us to our next point number

eight remember learning a language is a

marathon not a sprint

think about it you can’t cram for five

hours and expect to remember everything

you’ve studied so just like with a

marathon it’s okay to go slow and at

your own pace even if you’re learning

for just five minutes a day similarly if

you’re having trouble understanding a

grammar point or a lesson don’t let it

bring you down learning a language is a

marathon a long-term game the little

points of confusion you have now are

just small obstacles and you’ll fully

understand them with time so if you’re
