But you shouldn't let your excuses hold you back.
You really can learn another language.
You could even hold your first conversation just a few days from now.
Don't make any more excuses how to fight language learning failure.
You're going to learn one.
Why people fail at learning a language to the two questions smart learners ask themselves so they can succeed.
And three proven ways to overcome language.
Learning, failure, how to fight language learning, failure.
Let's jump into the first part.
One.
What is language learning?
Failure Just to be clear, failure is quitting or giving up learning in a very slow pace.
Taking a break.
Making pronunciation mistakes or failing a language test are not really failures.
So don't worry.
Riel failure is when you quit completely.
So what causes failure?
Simply put weak spots and pain points.
What do I mean by that?
Think about it.
If you're learning a language, you're probably aware of your weak spots.
For example, most beginners can read but can't speak well, so not speaking as well as you hoped.
That's a weak spot or a pain point for you.
Others have problems with motivation.
No time.
They don't stick with resource is and jump from one to another.
Or maybe they have trouble sticking with goals.
Leave a comment right now and tell me what your weak spot is.
Whatever it is, if you don't address it now, this weak spot or pain point may become the reason you fail.
And if you think about it, most people quit directly because of these pain points.
No time, no motivation.
Can't stick to goals.
Not fun enough.
Or they're just not speaking as well as they dreamed.
So they quit on their dream.
But you're a smart language learner.
So what should you do differently?
Part two.
The two questions smart learners ask themselves so they can succeed.
Just a quick warning if you're happy with your learning routine or if you've just started.
You don't have to ask these two questions now, but you will need them later.
Here they are.
You should ask one.
What are my weak points and two?
What am I going to do about them?
So let's do the 1st 11 What are my weak points?
And the answers to this question are fairly common.
Not enough time, Not enough motivation.
Can't speak the language well, can't stick to goals.
I can't stick to a resource, and I tend to jump around.
So answer this question.
Once you've identified your needs and problems, ask yourself the second question to what am I going to do about them?
Pay close attention here because this question is what separates the successful language learners from the rest.
Everyone knows their weak points.
And yes, it's good to identify problems.
But it's much more important to have solutions because it's one thing to spot problems and feel smart.
But it's another thing to actually take action and fix them.
So that's where the real smarts are.
How do you take action?
What are some learning tactics that actually work?
Are three ways to be language learning failure.
Let's attack some common weak spots that cause people to fail and quit.
By the end, you'll start to see how to resolve common problems.
You'll come up with your unique approaches and you'll get into the habit of coming up with solutions.
So one common weak spot is your low on time.
If you're low on time, the easiest thing you could do is learn for only five minutes a day.
Set a timer, listen to a lesson and shut it off after five minutes.
This will help you get used to learning, and at some point you'll want to increase your time.
That's why our lessons are 3 to 15 minutes long to make learning easy and to make it so.
Time is not an issue.
Another thing you can do is learn on the go with our free up.
If you're on the train at the gym or walking to a store, you can transform this dead time into learning time and learn a bit of language.

You're low on motivation.
Next.
If you're low on motivation, maybe you do better with a teacher, someone who will interact with you and encourage you to succeed.
You can learn with one with our premium plus program.
You can't speak well.
If speaking is your weak point.
The best thing to do here is just practice more.
If you're taking our lessons, read the lesson.
Dialogue out loud.
Reading out loud is the quick and easy way to practice speaking on your own or write down or memorize a lesson dialogue and practice it out loud three times a day for a week.
You can't stick with goals.
If you can't stick with a five minute a day routine, then maybe you need someone else to take charge and teach you so you should get a teacher or join an actual language class where you have no choice but to show up.
You don't know enough grammar.
If you want to learn grammar, take our audio lessons on the site in every lesson, you'll get a conversation afterward.
Our teachers explained every word and grammar rule used inside, so you actually get to see how the grammar is used.
Instead of just reading about rules, you can also use learning pathways to get courses and lessons that air specifically dedicated to improving your grammar.
These are just a few ways to address your weak spots and pain points.
There's a lot more we can cover, but the most important thing you need to remember is to ask yourself, What are my weak points and what am I going to do about them?
Asking an acting on that second question is what will put you unattractive fluency, and we'll help you avoid language learning failure.
So what are your weak points?
What are you going to do about them?
The top floor language learning Sears According to our users, number one, I'm not good enough to start speaking yet.
This is a pretty common fear or misconception that most learners have.
Here's how you overcome it.
The best way to get good at speaking is to start speaking from day one.
You need to open your mouth and just start talking.
If you think you're not good enough, just focus on the lines you want to say.
Number two.
I'm afraid I'll never be fluent.
You've got to set small, specific goals, make daily goals like having just a five minute conversation.

A brutally honest way to improve your language.
You're going to learn one.
Why tests are actually crucial for language progress into how you can put yourself to the test.
So if you're learning on your own and feel like you're not making any learning progress, it's likely you're taking it too easy.
You're not reaching your full potential, so an outside motivator like a test can and will fire you up and help you get better.
You'll discover how in just a second a brutally honest way to improve your language.
So if you're learning a language on your own, do you ever feel like you're just coasting through without making real progress?
Then it's possible that you're taking it a bit too easy.
So what should you do?
Part one.
Why tests are crucial for language Progress The quick answers are one.
Tests give you an honest assessment of your language skills and to motivation, but let's break these down and full.
If you've ever enrolled in a language school or taking a language class, you've probably taken a placement test based on your results.
The teacher's place you into an appropriate class so test can help you learn what's appropriate for your level.
Tests also allow for ongoing assessment through things like weekly quizzes and tests every month.
So what's the big deal with tests and quizzes?
Even though some of us don't like tests, tests can give you honest assessments of your language skills in specific ways.
For example, if you fail the listening part of a test, you know your weaknesses there.
If you forget a grammar pattern, you know you need to practice it more.
But if you're learning alone, you might not get many testing opportunities, and you may not be aware of mistakes you're making in your studies right now.
You don't know what pieces you might be missing.
Tests can give you opportunities to check your actual language skills, and sometimes they give you a brutal reality check.
Now, the second benefit of tests is motivation.
Think about it as a self learner.
No one else is going to push you to do your best.
And most people like to take it easy.
So if you're wondering why you're not fluent yet but you've been coasting along learning words here and there without actually testing your limits, consider that it might be because you haven't actually been testing and pushing yourself at all test can give you that push that challenge that urgency to improve that motivation.
There's a specific date and time for the test.
You have to be ready by that deadline.
Just think back to the night before a test.
You felt the urgency back then you were motivated to pass.
So this is exactly why a lot of self learners take proficiency tests.
It gives them something to aim for something to be motivated about something to achieve now.
Tests are not the complete answer toa language learning, but they do give you a way to assess yourself, and they give you a challenge.
So what can you do as a self learner, part to how you can put yourself to the test before you worry about failing?
Recognize that it's not about passing or failing.
It's about getting an honest assessment of your progress.
The first and most obvious thing you can do is sign up for a language proficiency test.
There are many kinds of proficiency tests available so you can pick the right one for you.
Signing up will put you under added pressure and give you extra motivation to improve.
This is something that's hard to do in your own Second.
If you're a premium plus member on our website, then you can get weekly assignments that put you to the test.
These assignments are grated and you get feedback from your teacher so you know what to do to improve and help.
The third thing you can do is come back in review.
Once you're done with the lesson, our pathway, download the dialog tracks and review them at a later date.
See how much you can understand this test you're listening, plus your vocab and grammar for speaking.
Record yourself with our voice recording tool and compare yourself to the native pronunciation.
Remember, you can always self test by coming back and seeing how much you understand.
The fourth thing you can do is test yourself with a harder lesson.
Think of it.
Is trying to lift a heavier weight at the gym to see if you can do it?
You can do this for reading, speaking and listening simply go to a higher level like intermediate or advanced, and try a lesson with reading.
You can also try our higher level extensive reading books again.
Remember, With all of this, the goal here is not a pass or fail result.
The goal is to get an honest assessment of your language skills, but you know and what you don't know.
If you realize that you're mispronouncing a certain word, you'll know how to correct it.
If you can understand on Lee 50% of a lesson, well, that means you should review it until you get to 100%.
If you don't understand the lesson dialogue at all, which is where most people get intimidated.
Make it a goal to master the dialogue, give yourself a gold to aim for.
And if you can't read a smoothly, as you had hoped, all it means is that you should give it a few more tries until you're better.
Can you really learn a new language all alone?

Seven minutes and seven seconds.
Toe language Learning success You're going to learn one.
The seven minutes seven second rule toe language learning success to why seven minutes and seven seconds is all you need to get started with the language and three how you can apply it to your learning.
So do you have a hard time sticking with the language learning routine.
Are you jumping around from one resource to another and not really continuing with any of them?
If you're having a hard time being consistent with a language learning routine, this seven minutes seven second rule could be for you seven minutes and seven seconds.
Toe language Learning success.
Okay, so what's the seven minutes?
Seven second rule toe language learning success?
First, let me explain where this tactic comes from.
A lot of you might relate.
Have you ever had a bit of free time and gone to YouTube to see what's new?
You play a video and just keep going and going.
Watching the recommended videos and other things of interest, it's really easy to get sucked in.
Right.
Imagine you finally stopped watching after a really terrible video that seven minutes and seven seconds long have you ever suddenly realized how much time you've wasted and thought, What is this?
What am I doing with my time?
You've just been sitting there watching videos.
Yes, although the final video was just seven minutes and seven seconds.
Think of the total amount of time wasted watching all those videos.
It's a lot.
This is where the seven minutes in seven seconds.
Idea comes from If you have seven minutes and seven seconds to watch YouTube, you have seven minutes and seven seconds to learn a language.
Now you might be thinking this isn't enough time or you won't make a real dent in your language.
Progress with that.
But let's talk about why seven minutes and seven seconds is all you need to get started with the language, first and foremost for anything you do in life routines of the cornerstone of success.
So if you can stick with the routine, you're on a guaranteed path to mastering your language.
And the seven Minutes seven second rule gives you just that.
A simple, specific routine.
Put in just seven minutes and seven seconds a day, and when you're done, that's it.
Here's what's so nice about the seven minutes seven seconds rule.
First, it's good for your motivation.
Think about it.
When we think of learning language, we imagine spending hours learning a language, and this ruins our motivation, doesn't it?
Or if you knew, you have to write an essay and that it would take two hours, you wouldn't be too excited about starting it now imagine you had a stopwatch in front of you and you saw you had three more minutes to go.
That doesn't feel so bad, and that's a major reason why this tactic works so well.
It's not a serious commitment that you dread all day.
You don't feel bad about it.
And second, it's easy to do.
There's no excuse not to find seven minutes and seven seconds in a day when a day is 1440 minutes.
So if you're walking or driving to the store for 10 minutes, you can easily put that time in.
So think of the seven minutes and seven seconds rule as your small, measurable goals for the day.
It's the kind of goal that we often talk about setting.
It's small enough to accomplish its measurable so that you know when you reach it and all you have to do is hit that number every day and you're done.
So if you have a tough time getting into a language learning routine, this is perfect for you.
So what should you d'oh first set a stopwatch to seven minutes and seven seconds and put it in the background.
Then start learning, you can use whatever resource is you already have to fill up that time.
But if you're using are learning program, the first easiest thing you can do is learn with our audio and video lessons.
They're usually between three and 15 minutes long.
Just press play.
Our teachers teach you a practical dialogues.
They translate everything, and you can start speaking if you're under seven minutes.
When the lesson is done, you can replay or review it, or you can move on to another lesson.
Second, studying with are spaced repetition flashcards.
Since you have to be actively paying attention, this will be a bit harder than just taking lessons.
But again, this is something you can sink.
Seven minutes into third, you can read and review of the lesson notes.
Inside, you get the lesson, conversation, grammar explanations, the vocabulary and cultural insights.
So just read through and put in the time.
Once your stopwatch hit seven minutes and seven seconds, you're done.
You're free.
If you go over, that's okay, too.
But seven minutes seven seconds is the minimum limit.
Then repeat this tactic every single day and you'll realize how easy it is to maintain this routine.
So if you've had a tough time sticking to a learning routine, give this a try.
