LESSON SUMMARY:

Sometimes when you’re studying English by yourself, it can be discouraging because there’s nobody to say “Nice work!” or celebrate your successes. But if you give yourself challenges and rewards, it can give you the motivation to keep going and not quit.

Of course your main goal is to be fluent in English, but you can set smaller goals in the process. For example:

Read an entire book in English

Learn 10 new words every day for one month

Be able to talk for 5 minutes straight in English (try talking for 1 minute, then 2 minutes, and work your way up to 5)

Start a blog in English and write one post every week for a year

Choose goals that you think will be difficult, but not impossible. For example, if you’re a beginner, don’t choose to “understand an entire movie on the first try” – that will be too hard for your current level. You want the goal to help you improve, but still be something you are able to reach.

When you reach your goals, celebrate! Tell a friend, family member, teacher, or English-learning partner. Do something nice for yourself – eat a special meal, buy a small gift for yourself, etc. You will feel proud of yourself because you’ve accomplished your goal – and ready to take on the next challenge on your journey to fluency in English.

I hope these tips have been helpful. But don’t just listen to me talk about them – put them into practice!

Sometimes you can also lose your motivation because you don’t know what to study, where to start, what to learn next, etc.

My courses and e-books can help you with that. They have structured lessons to teach you things in a logical order, and some of my courses include exercises where you can send in your speaking/writing and get feedback from a teacher, which is also very motivating.

Hi, it's Shana from EspressoEnglish.net, and in today's video I'm sharing my tenth and final tip for how to stay motivated to learn English. This one is really interesting and fun, and it can really help you keep up your motivation and desire to make more progress in your English. Tip number ten is challenge yourself, then reward yourself when you reach goals. Sometimes when you're studying English by yourself, it can be discouraging because there's nobody to say, nice work, or celebrate your successes. But if you give yourself challenges and rewards, it can give you the motivation to keep going and not quit. Of course your main goal is to be fluent in English, but you can set smaller goals in the process. For example, read an entire article or an entire book in English. Or challenge yourself to learn ten new words every day for one month. Or another goal might be to be able to talk for five minutes straight in English. You could try talking for just one minute, and then two minutes, and then work your way up to five minutes. Another challenge is to start a blog in English and write one post every week for a year. Those are just examples. You should choose goals that you think will be difficult, but not impossible. For example, if you're a beginner, don't choose to understand an entire movie on the first try. That will be too hard for your current level. You want the goal to help you improve, but still be something you are able to reach. Then when you reach your goals, celebrate.

Do something nice for yourself, eat a special meal, buy a small gift for yourself, etc. You will feel proud of yourself because you've accomplished your goal, and you'll feel ready to take on the next challenge on your journey to fluency in English. It's a really great and fun way to stay motivated. I hope these motivational tips have been helpful, but please don't just listen to me talk about them. Put them into practice. Sometimes you can also lose your motivation because you don't know what to study, where to start, what to learn next, and so on. My courses and ebooks can help you with that.
