5 Ways to Develop Good Language Learning Habits
- 1. WAYS TO DEVELOP GOOD LANGUAGE LEARNING HABITS 5
- 2. Developing habits will help you reach any goal. But where do you start?
- 3. SET GOALS 1
- 5. “I will learn Thai.” That’s not a smart goal.
- 6. “I will study basic food and ordering vocabulary every morning for 20 minutes, until I can successfully order at a Thai restaurant.” That’s a smart goal!
- 7. ASSIGN A PLACE FOR STUDY2
- 8. Assign a specific room as your study room. It can help you compartmentalize the language mentally.
- 9. Choose anywhere that allows you to focus with no major distractions, whether that’s at home, at the library, or in a coffee shop.
- 10. PACE YOURSELF 3
- 11. Start slow. Study no more than 30 minutes per day to avoid burning out.
- 12. Only when 30 minutes passes easily—or your career demands it—should you try studying for longer periods.
- 13. But study every day! That’s what makes it a habit, after all.
- 14. MAKE USE OF DEAD TIME4
- 15. Take advantage of your dead time. Listen to podcasts in your car, read a book on the train, learn with an app in the grocery store check out line or in the doctor’s waiting room.
- 16. Even if you don’t feel like actively studying, if you’re in the habit of listening to the language during your dead time, you’ll passively absorb it.
- 17. TAKE A 30 DAY CHALLENGE5
- 18. Commit to building a small, positive habit, like reading the news only in your target language every day. Do it every day for 30 days.
- 19. At the end of your 30 day challenge, either stick with the habit or start a new one!
