they're yours to keep forever okay let's

jump into today's topic

the first step in your language learning

journey that will guarantee your success

here's a question for you when you want

to learn a language how do you usually

get started with that goal

you might say the inspiration comes

first and that motivates you to start

then you get a textbook or an app and go

from there right

that's a pretty standard answer but how

does that tend to work out

most people end up falling off a week or

a month later

why do you think that happens leave a

comment with why you think people tend

to lose inspiration quickly

more often than not it happens because

you pick a goal a learning routine or a

resource that overwhelms you and just

isn't right for you

here's a typical example let's say you

work an 8 hour day and you want to try

to start learning

most people would try to squeeze in

learning for one or two hours at night

or you could try and wake up an hour

early and usually that doesn't work out

because you're trying to do things that

you're not used to

wake up earlier and study earlier it

doesn't fit your current lifestyle

so what should you do differently well

let's take an example from language

schools

before you start learning language

schools force you to take an assessment

test on the first day

why so that they make sure the language

lessons

fit your level and put you in the proper

class the goal of an assessment test is

to find out where you are and meet you

there

that's something most solo learners

don't do

and the problem is if you're a solo

learner no one assesses you

and you yourself don't know what routine

works best for you how much time you can

set aside and how much studying you can

comfortably do

we all imagine we can do an hour a day

but realistically speaking it'll be a

lot less than that

so that's where self-assessment comes in

before you start learning a language or

do any goal for that matter

it's important to know where you are in

life what your daily schedule is like

when you're busy and when you're free so

you can set your expectations

know how much time you can put in and so

you can start learning at a pace that

works for you

now how do you actually assess yourself

there are three assessments you can do

one a life assessment

two a routine assessment and three

language assessment

language assessment will only be helpful

if you already have some experience

if you're brand new you won't need this

first

life assessment here the goal is to see

how the language will fit into your life

and how you generally deal with goals as

in if you succeeded with a goal before

what helped you succeed you could take

that and apply it here

if you failed before find out why so you

can avoid it this time

so you'll need to answer the following

questions why are you learning this

language

how will it help your life what current

connections do you have to this language

for example listening to music watching

tv you have a relative you have

neighbors or friends that speak it

what have you been doing so far to learn

have you learned languages before

have you failed any goals before how or

why

have you succeeded with any goals before

how or why

write these questions out and answer

them next the routine assessment

write out your daily routine for a whole

week for example

wake up at 7 00 am breakfast at 8 a.m

commute to work at 8 30 am arrive at

work at 9 30 am

lunch at 1 pm and so on do this for

every day of the week the goal here is

to see what your daily routine is like

so you know when you're free when you're

busy and where you can fit in language

learning

that way if you're super busy on mondays

and five minutes is all you can do then

that's good enough

you won't feel bad about doing only five

minutes if you see that you spend 30

minutes on commuting

add language learning on top of that

existing routine

if you take walks or go for a jog play

an audio lesson there

or even if you're cooking at a certain

time play an audio lesson in the

background

remember look for an existing routine

that you already stick with like

commuting

and where you can multitask don't try to

create new routines

for example waking up at 7am to learn

will set you up for failure

if you usually wake up at 8am waking up

at 7am will be even harder

and then actually trying to learn a

language at 7am makes it even harder

this is where new learners start having

trouble you're trying to do two things

at once

trying to learn the language and trying

to stick to a new routine

one is hard enough trying to do two can

overwhelm you

so piggyback off of your existing

routines first so you can build momentum

and finally there's language assessment

if you're an absolute beginner you won't

need much of an assessment

just start with our absolute beginner

recommended learning pathway

but if you have experience and want to

assess yourself there are two things you

can do

first if you're a premium plus user then

you're asked to do an assessment test

when you join

but you can always request it again from

your teacher and second if you're a

premium user

check our recommended pathways we assign

these pathways level 1 to level 5

based on your learning level from

absolute beginner to advanced

at the start of each pathway there's a

diagnostic test you can take that to

assess yourself

下面描述中的链接现在

它们是您的，可以永远保留让我们

跳入今天的主题

您的语言学习

之旅的第一步，这将保证您的成功

这里有一个问题 当您

想学习一门语言时，您通常

如何开始实现该目标

您可能会说灵感是

第一位的，这会激励您开始，

然后您会得到一本教科书或应用程序，然后

从那里开始

，这是一个非常标准的答案

大多数人会在一周或一个月后摔倒

吗？为什么你认为会发生这种情况？留下

评论，说明为什么你认为人们往往

会很快失去灵感

，因为

你选择了一个学习目标 例行公事或

使您不知所措

并且不适合您的资源

这是一个典型的示例，假设您

每天工作 8 小时，并且您想

尝试开始学习

大多数人 你会试着

在晚上挤上一两个小时学习，

或者你可以试着早起一小时

，但通常这不会奏效，

因为你正在尝试做一些

你不习惯

早起的事情 早点学习 它

不适合你现在的生活方式

所以你应该怎么做

课程

适合您的水平并让您进入正确的

班级评估测试的目标

是找出您在哪里并在那里与您会面

这是大多数独立学习者

不会做的事情

，问题是如果您是独立

学习者没有人 评估您

和您自己 不知道哪种

例程最适合您 您可以

留出多少时间以及您可以舒适地学习多少

我们都认为我们每天可以做一个小时，

但实际上会

少很多 比起那个来说

所以这就是

在你开始学习一门语言或

为此做任何目标之前进行自我评估的地方，

重要的是要知道你在

生活中的位置

当你忙碌和空闲时你的日程安排是怎样的，这样

你就可以 设定您的期望

知道您可以投入多少时间，这样

您就可以开始以

适合您的速度学习

您如何实际评估自己

您可以进行三项评估

一项是生活评估

两项是常规评估和三项

语言评估

语言评估只有在

您已经有一些经验时才会有帮助

如果您是全新的 您将不需要

第一次

生活评估 这里的目标是

了解语言如何融入您的生活

以及您通常如何处理目标，

如 如果你在帮助你成功之前成功了一个目标，

你可以把

它应用到这里

如果你在找出原因之前失败了，那么

这次你可以避免它，

所以你需要回答以下

问题 你是否在学习这门

语言

它对你的生活有什么帮助

你目前与这门语言有什么联系

例如听音乐 看

电视 你有亲戚 你有

说这门语言的邻居或朋友

到目前为止你一直在学什么

有吗 学过语言之前

你有没有失败过任何目标之前 你如何或

为什么成功地实现了任何目标之前

如何或为什么

写下这些问题并在接下来回答这些问题

例行评估 写下你一整

周的日常生活 例如

早上 7 点起床 早上 8 点吃早餐 早上 8 点

上班 早上 30 点

上班 早上 9 点 30 点上班

下午 1 点午餐

等等 '当你很忙的时候有空

，如果你在星期一超级忙，你可以在那里学习语言，

而你只能做五分钟，那么

这已经足够了，

你不会因为只做五分钟而感到难过，

如果 你看 您

在通勤上花费 30 分钟

如果您散步或慢跑，则在现有例行程序之上添加语言学习 在

那里播放音频课程，

或者即使您在某个

时间做饭 在后台播放音频课程

记住看 对于

您已经坚持的现有例程，例如

通勤

和可以多任务处理的地方，不要尝试

创建新例程

，例如早上 7 点起床学习

如果您通常在早上 8 点起床

，早上 7 点起床会让您失败 变得更加困难

，然后实际上

在早上 7 点尝试学习一门语言会变得更加困难

这是新学习者开始遇到

问题的地方 你尝试同时做两件事

尝试学习语言并

尝试坚持新的常规

一个是 尝试做两个足够努力可能

会让你不知所措，

所以首先背负你现有的

例程，这样你就可以建立动力

，最后是语言评估

如果你是一个绝对的初学者，你

不需要太多的驴子

ssment 从我们绝对初学者

推荐的学习途径开始，

但如果您有经验并想

评估自己，您可以先做两件事，

如果您是高级用户，那么

您在加入时会被要求进行评估测试

，

但是 您可以随时向

您的老师再次申请，其次，如果您是

高级用户，

请查看我们推荐的途径 我们根据您的学习水平将

这些途径从 1 级分配到 5

级 测试你可以用它来

评估自己
