In language learning, it is found that when you're a beginner, you usually feel proud and pleased about how much you can understand and say. However, when you get better, you realize that you still have so much to learn. Here are three tips if you too are finding it a little harder than usual to motivate yourself.
Think back to why you started learning the language. There must have been at least a few reasons why you devoted yourself to learning a whole new language. Physically writing a list of these reasons will give you a chance to think and remember why.
You will probably see a great change in your ability. Remember how little you knew when you were just a beginner. Hopefully seeing your progress will make you realize how far you've come, and how much better you will get, if you keep learning more!
Try something new. Sometimes doing the same old thing can be really boring. Try to find a new activity which can make things interesting again. Why not make a mind map with pictures and colors to learn your vocabulary this time?
And there are so many reasons to be motivated. Congratulate yourself on how far you have come and be excited by how much more you can achieve!
A. Language learning does require lots of motivation.
B. Have a look back at your old work
C. You might even come up with some new reasons too!
D. Set a small goal each day and keep on learning just a few new words a day.
E. Sometimes for one reason or another, you can find that it is gone.
F. This can feel a bit overwhelming and, hence, lead to depression.
G. Memorizing a long vocabulary list, for instance, will make you lose your motivation.
