  • Okay, let's jump into today's topic the three powerful language learning lessons you'll pick up at the gym.

  • The first lesson is how to approach your goals and language learning.

  • So why are we talking about the gym?

  • The gym is a great example because it's filled with people working on their goals, and it gives you a snapshot of where most people are with their goals, and everyone there has one goal to be fit.

  • But not everyone is bury it.

  • You have a few people that look like fitness models, then you have around 20 or 30 people that have good, respectable physiques.

  • The middle group and then the rest of the people are still working their way up.

  • It's motivating because everyone has a chance of succeeding.

  • If you've been to the gym, you understand the importance of repetition.

  • Doing reps a rep is the number of times you do.

  • A certain exercise, like 15 pushups, is 15 reps of push ups, so even people still working toward their goals have a chance of succeeding if they put in the reps.

  • If they do a little bit a day over a long period of time, we'll get there.

  • The process is simple.

  • The more you do, the longer you stick with it, the more progress you make and the same goes for learning language or any other goal in life.

  • It's about putting in the reps a little bit a day consistently for a long period of time.

  • If you want to get bigger muscles, you pick up a dumb bell and you do reps.

  • If you want to learn more words, you do the rebs five new words a day.

  • So what can you do right now?

  • For example, if you're using our program.

  • Just do one lesson today.

  • If you have a textbook, do one page a day.

  • If you're using an app, put in five minutes a day again, everyone has a chance to succeed.

  • They just need to put in the reps, and they need to make the time.

  • This is where the second lesson comes in.

  • You'll learn how to find and make time to learn a language.

  • There's a reason the people you see at the gym daily and especially the people you see a 10 p.m. On a Friday are the ones with above average results.

  • They're the most consistent.

  • But how did they get that level of consistency?

  • There tend to be three types of people first, the people that have plenty of free time.

  • So it's a non issue for them.

  • Second, the busier people, they make time regardless of what their schedule is like, meaning they show up at 1 a.m. just to fit in a session.

  • Or they canceled other plans to make time and third, the people who have made it a habit.

  • They're so used to going that they don't have to think about it.

  • Ideally, you want to be in the third group with language learning, but most people fall into the second group.

  • The truth is that to make time, they have to cancel other plants.

  • Some wake up earlier to squeeze in a session in the A M.

  • Some go late at night.

  • It's the same exact thing with language learning You make time.

  • The good news with language learning is you don't need to open up a lesson at 1 a.m. and put in an hour with our learning program, you'll get our quick but powerful 3 to 15 minute audio and video lessons.

  • And because the lessons are short, you can easily make time.

  • You can do a lesson on your commute or while walking somewhere.

  • Imagine learning a quick conversation well on your way to the store.

  • Finally, the third language Learning lesson.

  • You'll learn that the gym is why you don't need the best possible routine to get results.

  • Have you ever heard of friends say I have to start the right way?

  • It has to be perfect.

  • Well, this is a disastrous way to start anything, whether fitness or language learning and most learners spend a lot of time worrying about starting right instead of just starting and keeping at it.

  • But the point is, if you start learning from a textbook and stick with it, you'll get results.

  • You'll improve your reading, vocabulary and grammar.

  • Of course, it won't get you speaking.

  • You'll only get good at what you focus on, but the fact is, you'll still make progress.

  • Same with the gym.

  • If you start off with bicep curls, you'll see progress in time.

  • But at some point you'll need to add in legs as well.

  • You can't skip leg day, so here's what you can learn.

  • Here's what smart beginners do.

  • They don't look for the best way to start.

  • They just start and keep going, and once they have a consistent routine, they start optimizing.

  • They improve their routine.

  • If you start taking one less in a day and can easily maintain that routine, then you might eventually realize that you want to practice speaking.

  • You need to shadow that lessons conversation so you add shadowing to your routine, and that's how you grow.

  • Same thing with the gym.

  • Smart beginners make sure they do their reps and come in as much as possible.

  • and doing the basics is enough for them to build muscle.

  • Later on, they'll start adjusting their exercises and adding new ones.

  • But you'll never get to that point if you over think yourself into inaction and don't build that habit.

  • So as long as you start and continue, most starting routines and learning methods are good enough.

  • You don't need the best possible one right now.

  • You could have the best possible language learning program, but if you don't use it consistently, it's useless.

  • All right, so today you learned one.

  • How to approach your goals to how to find time to learn a language.

  • And three.
