How to not give up on language learning
Some time ago I received a message from someone who was highly demotivated and was thinking about giving up on language learning, although they were still attached to it ✉️
Out of my answer, I created this post with tips that helped me a lot while I was having a hard time with Japanese. I hope you'll find it helpful too 🥰
Reflection
Ask yourself if you really care about learning this language by writing down a list of pros and cons. Of course, you have to be extremely honest with yourself!
Bonus points if you have a planner you can take a look at to visualize the progress you made with time
Change your routine
It happened so many times that I was on the verge of giving up on a language, so during these moments of burnout, I usually take my current language-learning routine and change it!
I suggest taking some time away from textbooks to focus more on passive learning through native content
Change your mindset
Do not rely on comparison with other learners of the same target language, you should only compare to your past self
Wasted time does not exist, even when you are just relying on passive learning, as this practice helps you with slowing down the process of the forgetting curve
