The key to language acquisition is input,

but the problem is listening practice doesn't work when you're tense, frustrated, or anxious.

As I learned from a linguistics professor and through years of trial and error,

you absorb the most when you're relaxed,

having fun, and ultimately when you love what you're doing.

And so today I wanted to share with you five things

that help keep that love alive and ultimately kept me from quitting.

These will not only make you want to study and practice more,

but they'll also increase the rate at which you pick up new material.

I promise.

All right, so the first thing is to bring the language to you.

You don't go to the language.

And what I mean by that is,

you know, as adult language learners,

a lot of times we have a tendency to want to alter our lives,

learn more about the culture of our target language

and that's great it is very important

but you want to try to activate the things

that you already love

and incorporate the language into your life i want to tell

you a quick story during my year abroad in kazakhstan

when the target language was russian they had somebody fly out

from st petersburg to basically get us ready for this big test basically their standardized test for russian speakers

and to what they would give to foreigners to see if we could function in a Russian-speaking country.

It was more for just kind of a qualification and the certification of it all.

And we had a couple of months to kind of

keep getting ready and prepare for these exams as they were about to come up.

And reading was naturally one of the big sections of it.

And of course, she recommended,

you know, always have a book on you,

always be reading a book.

And when we asked, well,

what type of book should we be reading.

You know what she said?

It has to be a book that you are personally interested in.

And this really caught my attention because it had nothing to do with the subject matter,

the formality level, nothing like that.

It all had to do with what you were interested in.

Now, you might be thinking,

if you're a beginner, you might be thinking,

well, great, I can't even read a whole book yet.

So how does that apply to me?

Well, you can also think about subject matter.

I'll give you one other example real quick.

Around the time that I started studying Russian,

It was about the same time that kind of been new to skydiving.

And that was a hobby that I got a little into.

And I had to, I learned the pilot chute in skydiving is the,

is the small little parachute that comes out first and basically initiates the whole opening of the parachute.

And pilot chute in Russian is their word for jellyfish, meduza.

Meduza is their slang word kind of for like how skydivers would refer to pilot shoot.

Now very random, obscure, I know,

but I share that with you because if,

had I not known what even a pilot shoot is,

you know, that would make no sense to me.

But not only did I know what a pilot shoot was,

it was also interesting to me and I was

that much more engaged in the language

and it was a little bit more of a you know you could say like a technical jargon

but you can apply this to almost anything it's best to apply the 50 rule

that basically if as long as you can understand 50 of what's being said then it's good practice

but it is so much more effective when that 50

can be applied to familiar uh lexicon

because you already have all these touch points things that are are familiar to you that you understand.

So basically bringing the language to you

and incorporating it into the life you already have will make it that much more enjoyable.

You'll be more engaged and it'll really help the process.

The next thing I want you to focus on is don't talk, just do.

I want to preface this by saying there's even research out there

that shows people who talk about their goals are much less likely to achieve them.

I think it has something to do with the fact that you get a false dopamine hit when you talk about it.

It's exciting, but you haven't actually done anything.

I wanted to point out too that from personal experience,

it's much more fun when you stay in the game and you kind of keep it from outsiders,

if that makes sense, because a lot of times you'll get some negative feedback or even just you might confuse people.

Why are you learning that language?

Oh, that's kind of weird.

What are you going to do with that?

Remember that the language that you chose to learn is yours alone.

You know, I don't want to just learn one more language.

I have multiple languages that I'm interested in and they all have their reasons.

So I would say go ahead

and share it with people who you're studying the language together and keep their reasons for wanting to study the language,

wanting to practice and learn it.

Keep those reasons close to your heart.

Next, avoid comparison and instead try to learn from others.

So whether it's your classmates,

peers, other people on YouTube.

Always be grateful for other people with whom you can learn the language and follow the journey along with them.

But remember that your own progress is going to be non-linear.

So throughout your journey, there's going to be bumps, you know, setbacks.

There's going to be, there are going to be times where you feel like you're going backwards,

but a lot of times that's where the real work begins.

This also brings me to my fourth point is document

and of course celebrate wins now i think a video journal

is probably one of the best ways you know speaking to camera like this

and just documenting yourself speaking in the target language this is

something i want to start doing more actually publicly on youtube for my spanish

and keep you guys posted keep you guys updated on

100

that journey you know even for i would say homework assignments uh

101

when i was learning russian and i still have to keep it activated by by the way.

102

My wife doesn't speak Russian,

103

so a lot of times it's through podcasts and everything,

104

but even just going back,

105

you know, a couple months ago,

106

found some old college assignments and just seeing those papers,

107

seeing me struggling with whether it be conjugations,

108

participles, you know, verbal adverbs,

109

that was a long time ago,

110

but I'm glad that I still kept some of those sheets.

111

You can really get a lot more out of that,

112

a lot more joy when you celebrate the wins and you just remember where you were,

113

where you came from.

114

Because if you're starting from scratch,

115

you know, like I did as an adult, I was 22.

116

For one, I think that's evidence that you're never too old to start learning a language.

117

In fact, I don't plan on ever being done learning new languages.

118

I want to keep learning more.

119

One example I want to bring up on this subject is during my time abroad,

120

we were actually forced to write up weekly reports,

121

basically kind of go online and fill out this form where we had to talk about things in our,

122

with the language proficiency, as well as cultural moments that,

123

you know, cultural encounters that were maybe challenging for us or just different and basically write our perspective of it,

124

write our interpretation.

125

And, you know, of course,

126

I got to be honest,

127

it was a little tedious at times.

128

And a lot of us would be like,

129

man, oh, we got to sit down.

130

We got to write this by the end of the week.

131

But after a while, it became a really good habit to kind of think back on those obstacles that we overcame.

132

At least for me, that was my impression.

133

And I went back and read a lot of the reports that I had and it made me really appreciate the process.

134

I got a lot of joy, honestly.

135

It just made me love the experience a lot more knowing that I had gone through all those steps.

136

And when you have to write about it,

137

you're actively thinking about those different moments

138

and having to articulate what parts of your brain

139

or what thought processes did you have to go through during that learning experience,

140

whether it be for the language proficiency or the culture itself,

141

or even just time abroad.

142

And I think a lot of the times domestically,

143

it can be just as challenging.

144

So you don't have to be abroad,

145

you don't have to do some crazy immersion program,

146

even though I recommend those if you can,

147

but just make sure that you're documenting, celebrating the wins.

148

I promise it'll make the experience,

149

the language learning journey that much more enjoyable.

150

Before we get into the fifth point,

151

I want to encourage you to sign up for the life and language letter.

152

If you're not already signed up for it,

153

you can use the QR code on the screen

154

or the link in the description going to help you stay consistent and also enjoy the process along the way.

155

Point number five.

156

Lastly, today I want you to establish connection and need.

157

What I mean by that is,

158

first of all, connection, in my opinion,

159

is the meaning of life.

160

It's what kind of relationships do you have?

161

That could be, some people call it service,

162

being in service to others.

163

But basically, what kind of relationships do you have with other people and what are you doing that's bigger than yourself?

164

And I think that it's so much more enjoyable when you find that connection through the target language.

165

So, meaning the language learning journey is more enjoyable when you have that connection, right?

166

And the need part of it is going to be basically,

167

why do you have to keep going?

168

Because of course, maybe you've already experienced this,

169

those reasons for studying the language in the first place are going to fall by the wayside.

170

Maybe not for you, but for me, that's been my experience.

171

And you have to find things to sort of rekindle that passion or rekindle a reason to keep going.

172

And here, what I'm talking about is a real need.

173

And there are some people out there who say it's impossible to learn a language

174

if you do not need it for survival.

175

Well, I think that's kind of unrealistic,

176

especially if your native language is English.

177

There, of course, are still plenty of places where English is not spoken,

178

but it's hard to make the argument

179

that you need a foreign language to survive or

180

that you have to go and immerse yourself in another country to truly learn it.

181

Maybe some people believe that,

182

but I don't think that's true.

183

I think you can become very proficient without doing those things.

184

You just have to have some form of immersion.

185

And even if your life isn't on the line, you can get there.

186

And the easiest way for me that I've found for this to be the case is to create lifestyle rituals.

187

So basically just things that you do automatically that also have meaning behind them.

188

Again, relationships and then that need.

189

Why do you, you should feel like you have to do it.

190

And if you do something even just a few days in a row,

191

then it's going to become so much more automatic.

192

And I know that if you start to miss two days in a row of something,

193

then it just starts to slowly slip away.

194

But just remember, you can get it back.

195

Before we go, I want to provide you with one concise plan of action moving forward

196

that I really think is going to help implement all of these things that we talked about.

197

And that is pick three things that you want to be able to do

198

or situations that you want to be able to handle but basically there should be an actionable,

199

like an action to it.

200

So three things within three weeks time with three other people.

201

So I call it the 3-3-3 plan.

202

Three actions,

203

three things you want to be able to do in the target language in three weeks from now with three other people.

204

And basically these three,

205

these different components are going to help you implement the time constraint forces you to stay in the game.

206

the three the other three people again it's about connection

207

and need and then the actions to begin with is about actually doing something

208

that also forces interest personal interest something

209

that you want to do don't pick something

210

that you don't have much interest in

211

but you feel like you should be able to do it no don't worry about

212

that what what is your personal interest leave in the comments

213

your plan for these i'd love to hear what your plan

214

is in fact i'll probably drop mine in there for for spanish

215

and um yeah hope you guys have a good week thanks for watching

216

and we'll see in the next video thanks guys
