Learning a language is a never ending process- even native speakers never stop learning their own language. So, with so much to learn there are times when it’s hard to find the motivation to keep moving forward. Just when we feel we’ve jumped over one hurdle and are ready to pat ourselves on the back we find ourselves confronted with a whole new challenge- whether it’s learning a new area of vocabulary, getting our heads around new grammatical structures or getting used to entirely new accents. There are times when it’s hard to take stock of the progress we have made- and in these moments motivation can easily start to dwindle.
That’s why now is exactly the right time to decide on your New Year’s language learning resolution! As we start the New Year we have a great opportunity to set out our strategies and ambitions for the year ahead. We can put together an action plan for the coming twelve months and set out our very own language learning resolution, we can decide what we would like to achieve in the coming months and plan out how we intend to do it.
Language learning doesn’t have to be boring, or even hard work! A language learning resolution can be a lot of fun- so why not start watching movies in English? How about reading books, magazines and blogs in English too? These activities will move you closer towards your language learning goal- and are completely painless! You can even take your resolution one step further- and come to learn English in a country where it’s spoken! A language course at inlingua Malta even combines the holiday of a lifetime (endless activities, perfect climate) with intensive English classes. Learning English in an English speaking country can really kick start your learning and is the perfect addition to your New Year’s language learning resolution!
So, don’t let motivation get in the way of achieving your goals- make 2017 the year you make learning English both fun and rewarding!
