Staying motivated to learn a new language!
Learning a new language can be frustrating (hard; difficult; not easy). We may have many reasons for wanting to learn a new language or it may be just for fun. There are some strategies (helpful tips; ways) that can help keep you motivated to learn a new language:
*Remember to think about what is your purpose (reason) for wanting to learn a new language:
-Is it for more job opportunities?
-Is it for a recent promotion?
-Is it because your job requires it?
-Is it for travel, vacation or studying abroad?
-Is it for fun or a hobby?
-Is it to challenge yourself with a new activity?
-Is it because you want to teach your children a new language or have them learn as well?
Keep those reasons in mind as you take your lessons in learning a new language. Remember your purpose and goal for learning. This will help you stay focused and continue to want to learn a new language.
*Another helpful hint is to know how do you learn best:
-Do you learn by reading a lot?
-Do you like to read textbooks, articles or worksheets?
-Do you learn by writing?
-Do you learn by listening?
-Do you learn by conversation?
-What interests you?
-Do you like to know more about current events?
-What subjects do you like to talk about or learn more about?
Understanding and knowing how you like to learn is helpful for the teacher and student in teaching you a new language. It will help keep you interested and wanting to learn more.
*And lastly, remember it is challenging (hard) for many to learn a new language. Keep it fun and enjoyable in the learning process.
