now they’re yours to keep forever okay
let’s jump into today’s topic
how to finally learn language in 2020
your new year’s resolution solution so
January is over but let me ask you a
question have you set a resolution for
this year if you haven’t it’s
understandable most people end up
failing with their resolutions you set
one you try to do it in January and by
February there’s no progress doing it is
no longer fun or you get sidelined by
something else so you quit and put it
off until next year or whenever the
guilt of quitting your goals comes back
to haunt you so what’s the problem with
setting resolutions why do we keep
failing
first of all regardless of what most
people say about New Year’s resolutions
setting goals whether on January 1st or
any other time of the year is a good
thing you have to know where you’re
going and what you want to achieve
otherwise you’ll be floating around
aimlessly from one language app to
another and have nothing to show for
your time spent but the problem lies
with the goals that people set for
example most people set goals like I
want to master Chinese or I want to lose
weight or I want to be fluent in
Japanese and based on these kinds of
goals here are three reasons why 90% of
New Year’s resolutions fail first
resolutions fail because they are not
specific and not measurable take a goal
like I want to master Chinese this year
the problem is that’s a very vague goal
what do you mean by master do you want
to speak about the economy or do you
just want to have everyday conversations
and can you really measure how much
progress you need to master the language
the second reason is they are
unrealistic you might think but isn’t it
good to set huge goals and aim for the
stars it’s not bad but if you say I want
to be fluent by September is that
realistic for you are you ready to
commit yourself to nothing but language
learning six to eight hours a day
non-stop the answer is no for most
people the third one is there’s no
action plan the problem is you’ll still
fail even with a specific and realistic
goal if you don’t know when and how
you’re going to do it for example when
will you study how long will you study
everyday and how will you study so now
you know why most people fail with their
year’s resolutions then how do we set
new year’s resolutions and actually
succeed here are the three rules for
successful goal-setting remember your
goals must be one specific and
measurable to realistic and three they
must have an action plan yes the
complete opposite of everything you
heard earlier for example let’s say
you’re learning Italian this year
instead of saying my goal is to learn
Italian this year set a specific
measurable realistic goal for the month
like speak 3 minutes of conversation by
February 28th and you can also set a
yearly goal like 30 minutes of
conversation and work towards that the
whole point is 3 minutes is measurable
you set a timer time yourself and know
when you reach it it’s realistic instead
of saying I want to learn the whole
language you’re just aiming for 3
minutes for the month and maybe 30
minutes for the year so ask yourself do
I have time to learn enough of the
language to speak for 3 minutes that
will vary from learner to learner but 3
minutes sounds much more realistic than
I want to master a language finally you
still need an action plan for your goal
and for that you need to answer these
questions
when will you study how long will you
study every day where do you plan to
study how will you study what is your
study schedule this is the most
important part because this tells you
when and how to study if you don’t
answer these questions you’ll have no
idea what to do and you’ll quit because
you have no routine to stick to so for
example when will you study I’ll study
at 9 p.m. on weekdays how long will you
study everyday I’ll study for 20 minutes
where do you plan to study I’ll study at
home in the living room on my computer
how will you study I’ll listen to one
audio lesson a day for five days what is
your study schedule from Monday to
Friday with audio lessons I’ll listen to
the lesson then go through the lesson
notes for 20 minutes each day here are a
few more things you can do to improve
your chances of success reward yourself
after hitting a goal studies have shown
that giving yourself a reward after
reaching a goal is crucial to creating
lasting habits and continuing to conquer
more goal
write down your small measurable goal
and put it somewhere you’ll see it often
now that you know why New Year’s
resolutions fail and you know what to do
differently it’s time to set your goal
our suggested goal for you for February
2020 is speak one minute of conversation
in your target language the deadline is
February 28th remember to set your
action plan as well just answer these
five questions leave us a comment
letting us know your answers and then
you’re ready to go
