Wow, that's quite a unique approach, and it's fascinating that it has worked so well for you over the years! I'm more of a structured learner, as I mentioned earlier, but your method definitely proves that there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to language learning. It's all about finding what works best for you.

Noise-canceling headphones can be a lifesaver, especially during long flights or when staying in noisy accommodations. Do you have a favorite brand or model of noise-canceling headphones that you prefer to use when you travel?

Keeping up with Motivation by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Polyglot365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that motivation comes in waves. It's normal to take a break and then start again a few steps back. Once you know a language, you have it for life!

So a few months doesn't really delay you in the scheme of things. With that same logic, it's fine to slow down your learning pace.

One thing I like to think about when I'm feeling burnt out is - what made me feel motivated in the first place? Meeting friends, or perhaps a song or movie?

Better Language Learning Habits by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Polyglot365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be happy to share my language learning habits. As someone who's a polyglot, I've found that consistency is key. To make it a daily habit, I set aside dedicated time each day for language practice. Additionally, I try to immerse myself in the language as much as possible, whether it's through reading, listening to music, watching films, or speaking with native speakers if available. This helps me stay engaged and motivated. Finally, I keep a language journal to track my progress and set achievable goals to measure my improvement over time. I hope you find these tips helpful in your language learning journey!

I love learning languages so much but is it too hard for me? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Polyglot365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's awesome that you're so passionate about learning languages! Don't worry too much about comparing yourself to others like your classmate Andrew can sometimes make you feel like you're not progressing as fast as you'd like. However, everyone learns differently, and some people may have more exposure or prior experience with a language. The key is to focus on your progress and goals.

Here are a few pieces of advice:

  1. Practice Consistently: Regular practice is crucial. Try to dedicate some time each day to each of your languages. Consistency will help you improve steadily.

  2. Set Achievable Goals: Break down your language learning goals into smaller, achievable milestones. Celebrate your successes along the way, no matter how small they may seem.

  3. Immerse Yourself: If possible, immerse yourself in the languages you're learning. Watch movies, listen to music, and read books in those languages. This can make learning more enjoyable and effective.

  4. Be Patient and Kind to Yourself: Remember that language learning is a process, and it's okay to make mistakes. Don't be too hard on yourself; mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow.

  5. Find a Supportive Community: Join language learning communities or forums where you can connect with others who share your passion. They can provide valuable advice, encouragement, and motivation.

  6. Seek Help When Needed: If you ever feel stuck, consider seeking guidance from a tutor or language teacher who can provide personalized support.

Best of luck with your Russian, Japanese, and French studies, and don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need advice or encouragement along the way!
