Peter: Alright, listeners, how do you stay motivated...
Chigusa: ....when learning a language?
Peter: Chigusa, this is a great question, because motivation plays a huge role in language learning success.
Chigusa: It really does, Peter.
Peter: So listeners, we asked our high-level Premium and Premium PLUS members....
Chigusa: ....for their tested techniques. You’ll find out what worked for them.
Peter: Here are the top 10 ways to stay motivated!
Chigusa: Number one: You must see your progress.
Peter: In other words, you gotta see it to believe it.
Chigusa: Listeners, there’s nothing better than seeing your results first-hand.
Peter: It’s like stepping on a scale and seeing that you’ve lost weight..
Chigusa: ...or seeing muscles in the mirror after working out!
Peter: How can you do this with language? In order to “see it”, you must start measuring it first.
Chigusa: And you can do that with the Dashboard on our website.
Peter: With the Dashboard, you can see how many lessons...
Chigusa: ...and how much of the language you’ve mastered so far.
Peter: So review the progress you’ve made with the Dashboard on the site.
Chigusa: Number 2: Listeners, use the Daily Dose of Language app.
Peter: With this, you get free, daily mini-lessons... but that’s not all.
Chigusa: This app keeps you on track because it actually sends you daily reminders.
Peter: If you need that extra push or reminder, this app does it for you.
Chigusa: And the daily dose lessons are quick and easy. They take just 1 minute of your time.
Peter: Number 3: Learn with somebody better than you.
Chigusa: A tutor, a friend.....
Peter: And you can even learn with your own teacher with a Premium PLUS subscription...
Chigusa: Simply having someone better than you by your side....
Peter: ...is enough to help you improve and motivate you. It’s like having a coach.
Chigusa: Number 4: Set a small, measurable goal...
Peter: For example: finish 10 lessons in 1 week. Or learn 20 words in 1 week.
Chigusa: Most people give up because they have a vague goal like “I want to be fluent” that they don’t know how to reach.
Peter: But if you aim small and make it measurable...
Chigusa: You’re guaranteed to reach it! Picture this. Your goal is to learn 20 words
Peter: ...and you know 17 already. Because you know how close you are...
Chigusa: ...you’re more motivated to close the gap and reach your goal.
Peter: Number 5: Watch movies and TV shows in your target language.
Chigusa: First of all, we recommend this because it’s fun.
Peter: But more importantly, when you understand what you hear...
Chigusa: ...That’s a clear sign of progress and you will feel good about it.
Peter: Number 6: This is similar to five –
Chigusa: Listen to music in your target language.
Peter: Music is enjoyable...and if you make it part of your routine...
Chigusa: ...you’re giving yourself a nice break in between lessons.
Peter: ...but you’re still immersing yourself in the language.
Chigusa: So if you enjoy this routine, you’re more likely to stay motivated with that routine.
Peter: Number 7: Do the lessons that you enjoy.
Chigusa: Just like with music, if you enjoy our audio and video lessons...
Peter: Then stick with them.
Chigusa: If you have any favorite lessons, remember, you can always download them to your device...
Peter: ...and review as much as you want. They’re yours to keep.
Chigusa: Number 8: Understand that language learning is a marathon.
Peter: ...and not a sprint.
Chigusa: Most people think they can 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...
Chigusa: ...if you understand that it’s okay to study for only 5 or 10 minutes a day...
Peter: ...instead of pulling a 5-hour cram session that will burn you out...
Chigusa: ...you’ll be less stressed and more motivated.
Peter: Number 9: Keep the big goal in mind. Imagine yourself being fluent!
Chigusa: Small, measurable goals are definitely important.
Peter: But when you just don’t feel like learning...
Chigusa: ...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.
Chigusa: And number 10: Invest in the language. Make a commitment
Peter:. Listeners, whether you buy a book or a subscription, enroll in a class, or join a study group...
Chigusa: ...by investing and making a commitment, you’re much more likely to go through with it. You’ve paid for it...
Peter: ...So you value it more. You want to make sure you get your money’s worth. Plus other people expect you to show up....
Chigusa: So you’ll definitely achieve your language goals. And that’s it!
