7 Ways To Motivate Yourself When Studying A Foreign Language.
Motivation is a tricky thing, isn’t is? If you are one of the brave souls trying to learn a foreign language by yourself you’ll be sure to run out of motivation some time. This is a collection of my best tricks to help you complete what your started.
Track you progress.
Make a chart or find a calendar. Mark you chart every time you finish a session or have studied for a set amount of time. Place your chart in a place you can’t avoid. Make a commitment to look at your chart every day. This seems simple, but it’s incredible how much it helps your motivation.
Don’t overdo it.
Learning a new language isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. If you start out full of fresh energy it is important not to burn it all at once. Limit you study time to one lesson or one hour a day. After you have reached your daily goal – Stop. That way you conserve motivation and energy for the nest day. Portion you energy to last. This allows you look forward to your next lesson and finish the race strong.
