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’s important to regularly assess, and adjust if necessary, the learning strategies that you are using.
It’s important to recognise that not all strategies work equally well for all learners and it’s okay to try something new. With some trial and error and by not being afraid of trying different learning methods you should be able to identify what works best for you.
There is no clear, one-size-fits-all approach or process in language learning and it’s important not to compare yourself and your progress to others – easier said than done, I know.
Tailor your approach to what you like and what you find works best for you. Staying engaged in the learning process is the main goal. You may have to try several different methods before you clearly see what the best one is for you. That’s okay. It’s a marathon not a sprint!
Have fun learning English!
