Learning online is great because it’s free. But how do you keep yourself disciplined and motivated? Here are a few tips to keep yourself motivated:
- Set aside a regular 30-minute block in your day for languagelearning. Set a reminder in your online calendar, to make sure you don’t forget.
- Find 3 – 4 native speakers at MyHappyPlanet.com with whom you can practice regularly. Set weekly practice sessions with each of your partners, to maintain a routine.
- Be creative in your learning methods. Yes, picking up a book is effective, but it can be really boring. Why not watch a movie in the language you’re learning?
- Plan a trip abroad. Not only will you get to practice yourlanguage skills there, but the trip will keep you motivated. It will give you a great goal to aim for (e.g. “I must brush up my French before my trip to Paris this summer!)
Hope this helps with your language learning journey. Good luck!
