How To Create An Effective Language Learning Plan

Have you ever started learning a new foreign language with complete enthusiasm, passion, and motivation and lost it all by the second week of learning? That’s what 50% of language learners go through and here’s why.

It’s been proved that the human brain is more likely to commit to learning something when it’s planned, and that’s where most language learners go wrong; they don’t use an effective, long-term plan.

Firstly, a very important tip is to create a weekly-plan, not a monthly or yearly one. You cannot be 100% sure of what’s going to happen in your life, so it’s better to stay on the safe side and use a weekly one instead.

Secondly, make sure you involve every language learning aspect in your plan. Reading, writing, speaking and listening. In this way, your brain will never get bored and you would actually have fun changing the methods of your learning!

Thirdly, DO NOT study every day! Yes you read that right, studying every day will eventually cause a burnout, resulting in less motivation. This will cause you to give up on your language learning!

Last but not least, create habits! Doing a bit every day may not seem like much, but in the long run it really is. You’ll eventually notice a difference in your language skills in a month or so, which will definitely boost your motivation! An example of a habit that isn’t time consuming but will make a difference in the long run is learning 5 words of your target language every day! It really might not seem like a big deal but over time you will start to see you are making well deserved progress.

In conclusion, creating a language learning plan is very important in order to stay consistent and motivated with your goals and become a pro at speaking your target language!
