Sometimes, for lots of reasons, it can be difficult to stay motivated when learning a language.
Have you ever planned to learn some vocabulary or revise some irregular verbs but then just didn’t feel like it? Perhaps you found something more interesting to do.
Don’t be frustrated if this happens – it’s normal!
It might be helpful to create boundaries in terms of where you study. If you are studying at home and if you have the space, set aside a specific area where you can study.
It could be a desk, an office space at home, in the garden or at the kitchen table. Set aside specific times for learning and try to learn in the same dedicated space every time.
If you need a change of scene (and let’s be honest, we’ve all been stuck inside our own four walls for much longer than normal since the pandemic began), take a walk (while listening to a podcast in English) or go to a park and learn there.
Creating a routine and studying in the same space regularly may help you to learn more effectively.
Have fun learning English!
