| Becky: Alright listeners, how do you stay motivated when you’re learning a language? |
| Peter: Becky, this is a great question, because motivation plays a huge role in language learning success. |
| Becky: So here are our top 10 methods, techniques, and study tools! |
| Peter: Let’s start with our features first. |
| Becky: Number 1: Track and see your learning progress with the Dashboard. |
| Peter: Listeners, there’s nothing better than seeing your progress first-hand. |
| Becky: It’s like stepping on a scale and seeing that you’ve lost weight, or seeing muscles in the mirror after working out! |
| Peter: That’s the perfect way of putting it actually. With the Dashboard, you can see how many lessons... |
| Becky: ...and how much of the language you’ve mastered thus far. |
| Peter: Instantly see how much progress you’ve made with the Dashboard on the site. |
| Becky: Number 2: Our brand new feature, My Report. |
| Peter: This tracks the time and effort that you’ve put into learning. |
| Becky: You can see the total time you’ve put in, in terms of days, hours, and minutes – as well as the number of flashcards you’ve studied. |
| Peter: Why is this so important? It’s because language takes time and effort. |
| Becky: And like Einstein said, “It's not that I'm smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.” |
| Peter: So the only thing that’s standing between you and mastering the language is simply spending more time on it. |
| Becky: And seeing how much you’ve put in is definitely very motivational. |
| Peter: You'll find this new feature in My Account in the top right corner of the site. |
| Becky: Number 3: Learn with somebody better than you. A teacher or a friend, for example. |
| Peter: You learn with your own native-speaking teacher with a Premium PLUS subscription... |
| Becky: ...or try getting a friend. But having someone better than you by your side will definitely motivate you to keep going. It’s like having a coach. |
| Peter: Number 4: Set a small, measurable goals, like being able to reach 10 minutes of conversation by the end of next month. |
| Becky: Reaching goals is extremely motivational, isn’t it, Peter? |
| Peter: It certainly is. But most people give up because they have a vague goal like “I want to be fluent” that they don’t know how to reach. |
| Becky: But if you aim small and make it measurable... |
| Peter: You’re guaranteed to reach it! And that will give you more drive to keep going. |
| Becky: Number 5: Watch movies and TV shows in your target language. |
| Peter: First of all, it’s fun. But more importantly, when you understand what you hear... |
| Becky: ...That’s a clear sign of progress and you will definitely feel good about it. |
| Peter: Number 6: This is similar to five – Listen to music in your target language. |
| Becky: It’s fun, it’s great passive learning, and it’s immersion. And music is very memorable. |
| Peter: Great point, Becky. This means that you’ll remember the lyrics and start understanding them. |
| Becky: Number 7: Change the way you’re studying. If you’re not making progress with books... |
| Peter: Change it up. Try audio lessons and video lessons. Try repeating what native speakers say out loud. |
| Becky: This will challenge your brain in new ways and help you regain progress. |
| Peter: Number 8: Understand that language learning is a marathon and not a sprint. |
| Becky: Most people think they can cram and study for hours and suddenly get better. But when they realize that it takes time... |
| Peter: ...this can hurt their motivation. So if you understand that it’s a marathon, you’ll be less stressed about reaching big goals in short amount of time. |
| Becky: Number 9: Keep the big goal in mind. Imagine yourself being fluent! |
| Peter: Small, measurable goals are definitely important. But when you just don’t feel like learning... |
| Becky: ...which is completely natural, by the way – try to remember the big goal. |
| Peter: Having the big picture in mind will remind you of what's important and put you back on track. |
| Becky: And number 10: Invest in the language. |
| Peter: Make a commitment. Whether you buy a textbook or a subscription, enroll in a class, or join a study group... |
| Becky: ...by investing and making a commitment, you’re much more likely to go through with it. You’ve paid for it... |
| Peter: ...Other people expect you to show up.... |
| Becky: So you’ll definitely achieve your language goals. And that’s it! |
