HOW TO ACHIEVE YOUR
LANGUAGE GOAL WHEN YOUR
MOTIVATION IS LOW
Welcome back!
Last month, I gave you 3 key ways
to stay motivated to accomplish
your language goals. Then my
e-mail inbox overflowed. It was
amazing to see just how many of
you wanted to know more about
motivation.
And many Inner Circle Members
hit on a crucial point:
motivation
doesn’t always last.
So, how do you achieve your
language goals when your moti-
vation is low?
And more importantly, how do
you get it back?
This is the topic of April's Inner
Circle.
I’ve faced this issue since
the day I first started learning
languages. And it happened this
month too.
Motivation doesn’t
always last.
SO, HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE YOUR LANGUAGE GOALS
WHEN YOUR MOTIVATION IS LOW?
No insane progress.
My motivation slipped.
So, what happened?
See, my March goal was to reach 5 minutes, which I doubled
to 10 minutes of Italian conversation. My motivation was running
high for the 3 key reasons I talked about last time.
For April, I wanted to hit
18 minutes
but barely reached my
14-minute minimal
goal.
No insane progress. My motivation slipped.
So, what happened this month?
Here’s my story.
Simply put, when
you compare watching basketball
on TV to cracking open an Italian
textbook, one is A LOT more
appealing. At least for me. So, one
Monday, I took the night o and
cancelled a lesson. What’s one day,
right? Of course, that led me to
canceling three more lessons. And
skipping lessons meant my progress
slowed down, and worse, plummeted.
So I did less Italian practice, and you
can easily understand why I started to
forget a lot of vocabulary. An obvious
loss of progress is really
de-motivating, especially when
someone says it to your face.
My tutor wasn’t happy.
She wasn’t happy with my Italian
homework nor with my last-minute
cancellations. In fact,
she charged me
$90, double the lesson price,
as a
penalty we had agreed upon earlier.
I’ll tell you why this is so important
for motivation later. But, this isn’t
all bad news.
I took the night off
and cancelled a lesson.
What’s one day, right?
I reached the 14 minutes
of Italian conversation goal
despite bottoming out this April.
Here’s how you achieve your goals when your motivation is low.
I used these tactics for learning Japanese, Chinese... And forgot
about them when i started learning italian this year.
Until now, that is.
