#WeDoLanguages Topic This Week:

@LDLanguages I think my struggle it's the grammar mostly, the basic part I may be a little lazy to read about it #WeDoLanguages

@LDLanguages Motivation! #WeDoLanguages

A1: Biggest language learning struggle: distractions, time available (time difference with my target language, working 8-5) #wedolanguages

— Cristóbal (@krzysiekcl) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages Comprehension. It takes a little while to get up to the speed of the language. I find this takes me a little time adjust to

— James Granahan (@jamesgranahan) January 19, 2016

A2: MOTIVATION! Music, films, tv shows, friends who speak the language. Positive environment 🙂 #Wedolanguages

— Cristóbal (@krzysiekcl) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages Reading in the target language #WeDoLanguages

— Emmey (@Queensferry572) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages that's hard,I try to use different resources or methods then when I get bored of one of them I am able to change #WeDoLanguages

@LDLanguages It helps to read about others' experiences. You can know you're not alone and that it's achievable. #WeDoLanguages

— Emmey (@Queensferry572) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages Being here on twitter reading you and so many other followers who are into languages proves you some way you are not alone too

A3: Make your own positive environment. Insert yourself into a community. Maybe hold a monthly webcam hangout #WeDoLanguages

— Cristóbal (@krzysiekcl) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages I wrote down after some days since I started to learn Ger how I am enjoying it then when I am feeling it's hard I read it again

— ΞS яσмιηα (@Eruquera1908) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages Take a short break or write something to remind myself that even if there's a lot to learn, I can do a little! #WeDoLanguages

— Emmey (@Queensferry572) January 19, 2016

A4: Calm down! Take a cheat day, don't push yourself hard and repeat… it's not a race! #WeDoLanguages

— Cristóbal (@krzysiekcl) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages I think it's good to just take a break! I always schedule a little non-language time into my plan for the week #wedolanguages

— James Granahan (@jamesgranahan) January 19, 2016

@Eruquera1908 reassess where I'm at and perhaps adjust my goals to make them more targeted 🙂 #WeDoLanguages

— Lindsay Dow (@LDLanguages) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages there comes a time when you leave formal instruction behind. It's then you need to steer your own learning #WeDoLanguages

— F Rosell-Aguilar (@FRosellAguilar) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages I like to write a 'why' list before I start and then refer back to it when I need fresh motivation #wedolanguages

— James Granahan (@jamesgranahan) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages I remember how nice it is to be able to speak English, n how nice it could be 2 be able to speak many other lang #WeDoLanguages

— ΞS яσмιηα (@Eruquera1908) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages I have my goals typed up in a bookmarked Google doc so I can revisit them frequently #WeDoLanguages

— Emmey (@Queensferry572) January 19, 2016

A6: Refocus. Language learning is also being comfortable in your own skin & stepping out of your comfort zone #WeDoLanguages

— Cristóbal (@krzysiekcl) January 19, 2016

A7The monthly meetup to checkup each other's learning goals 🙂 Creating and forming part of a community too. #WeDoLanguages

— Cristóbal (@krzysiekcl) January 19, 2016

@LDLanguages Remebering how important it is to connect with other language learners regularly. I think social factors are key to motivation

— James Granahan (@jamesgranahan) January 19, 2016
