| Peter: Alright, how do you stay motivated... |
| Becky: ....when learning a language? |
| Peter: Becky, this is a great question, because motivation plays a huge role in language learning success. |
| Becky: So, listeners, we asked our high-level Premium and Premium PLUS members.... |
| Peter: ....for their tried and tested techniques. You’ll find out what worked for them. |
| Becky: Here are the top 10 ways to stay motivated! |
| Peter: Number one: Track and see your learning progress... |
| Becky: ....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: With the Dashboard, you can see how many lessons... |
| Becky: ...and how much of the language you’ve mastered thus far. |
| Peter: Be sure to review the progress you’ve made with the Dashboard on the site. |
| Becky: Number 2: Listeners, use Daily Dose of Language app. |
| Peter: With this, you get free, daily mini-lessons... but that’s not all. |
| Becky: That’s right. You stay on track because this app actually sends you reminders... |
| Peter: ...every single day. So what happens is, you build successful study habits.. |
| Becky: ...and you don’t need to worry about how or what to study... |
| Peter: ...all you have to do is one easy lesson a day. And it takes a minute. |
| Becky: Okay, Number 3: Learn with somebody better than you. |
| Peter: A tutor, a friend..... |
| Becky: And you can even learn with your own teacher with a Premium PLUS subscription... |
| Peter: Simply having someone better than you by your side.... |
| Becky: ...is enough to help you improve and motivate you. It’s like having a coach. |
| Peter: Number 4: Set a small, measurable goal... |
| Becky: ...like being able speak 5 minutes of conversation by the end of next month. |
| Peter: 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, we recommend doing this because it’s fun. |
| Becky: But more importantly, when you understand what you hear... |
| Peter: ...That’s a clear sign of progress and you will feel good about it. |
| Becky: Number 6: This is similar to five – |
| Peter: Listen to music in your target language. |
| Becky: It’s fun, it’s great passive learning, and it’s immersive. And music is very memorable. |
| Peter: Great point, Becky. This means that you’ll remember the lyrics and start understanding them. |
| Becky: Number 7: Try something new. If you’re not making fast progress with books... |
| Peter: ...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, 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... |
| Becky: ...if you understand that it’s okay to study for only 5 or 10 minutes a day... |
| Peter: ...instead of pulling a one-time 5-hour cram session that will only tire you out... |
| Becky: ...you’ll be less stressed overall. Doing a little bit a day goes a long way. |
| Peter: Number 9: But.. do keep the big goal in mind. Imagine yourself being fluent! |
| Becky: Small, measurable goals are definitely important. |
| Peter: But when you just don’t feel like learning... |
| Becky: ...which is completely natural, by the way – 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: ...So you’re vested. Plus other people expect you to show up.... |
| Becky: So you’ll definitely achieve your language goals. And that’s it! |
