| 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! |
