Foreign Language Learning Tip#5: Keeping Yourself Motivated
Of course motivation is not
permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a
regular basis.

Yes, now while learning a foreign
language or preparing for TOEFL, you must always keep your eyes on the prize.
But that’s not enough, as there will be more than a few episodes when you would
realize the heat getting on you. Today at Mr.
Class’ we probe into ways of having that required motivation to learn a
skill in the most explicit way possible.
A true winner is different than the
rest because of his talent. According to the author of ‘The Talent Code’-
Daniel Coyle, talent isn’t innate but grown in our deepest of our unconscious
desires and triggered by the primal cues. Some people call it passion, others
call it ‘gift’, but whatever it is that could ignite and catalyze such unique
drive is something that you need to be different than the rest.
Let us assume that you’ve enrolled
into some French learning institute in
Bhubaneswar or got admission into a TOEFL coaching classes in Bhubaneswar and you’re doing pretty well in your
classes. But is there any way to ensure that you will continue to do better for
the coming days as well? That’s where you need a kick start!
KEEPING THE MIND AT IGNITION:
Are you learning French to be the new
‘cool’ of your college? Or are you taking TOEFL classes to bunk those extra
chemistry classes? It is observed that people learning foreign dialects
generally learn for two reasons. First reason would be a reasonably good reason
that has a possibility attached to it academically, while the second reason is
generally about flaunting to friends about it; and the latter are the first
ones to quit since they lack a purpose.
For all the people with a purpose, we
thought this could be a good motivation for you to learn a new language.
Imagine yourself moving to one of the most reputed universities of France and
making loads of new friends while learning about the subjects you have always
wanted to learn. Or how about a road trip with your friends for a couple of
months that ends up in exploring the French culture, places and literature that
ends up as the best trip with your buddies as well as on your resume.
Motivation can also be gained when we
look upon some of the most successful people on the planet and their journey to
reach there. It helps you to draw inspiration and feeling it inside that you’re
not alone going through this. Apart from that TED Talks are also useful in
talking things straight while giving you the required boost!
