Why you need to enjoy learning your foreign language

If you are bored with your grammar book or find yourself daydreaming when reading because you don’t understand enough to find it pleasurable, then ditch it!

Working through something you are not enjoying means you won’t be concentrating.  If you are not concentrating, you will not learn anything.  If you continue trying to force yourself, you may end up hating your foreign language forever.

Do all the things you enjoy doing normally but do it in your foreign language.  Do you like movies?  If so, watch movies in your foreign language.  Do you like meeting new people?  Then meet new people who speak your target language.

If you do what you enjoy when learning a language, it shouldn’t feel like it’s a lot of work.  It should feel like fun.  Having fun is the right path to language learning success.
