if you want to learn a language but
don't have a lot of time to dedicate to
the endeavor you need to study as
efficiently as possible you probably
aren't a language learning expert or a
world traveler you might have school or
a job or two so in this video we'll give
you three ways to help you learn
language more efficiently so that you
get the most out of your time and effort
number one use your time when you have
it the most valuable resource you have
as a language learner is time while you
may not have to spend money to learn a
language you will have to spend time
hours and minutes are a currency that
you trade on a weekly basis to grow in
your language learning language learning
is probably a priority for you it might
not be the number one priority like
keeping your job or taking care of your
family but it does have to be important
enough for you to invest significant
amounts of time into your learning
there's just no way around it that being
said use your time wisely because of
previous commitments you can quickly
fall into the trap of putting your
language learning off thinking oh I'll
do it next week or Saturday I'll do it
saturday needless to say a few weeks can
go by and you haven't really learned or
practiced anything if you find that
happening then take some time and
reevaluate your approach it's probably a
long shot for you to be able to spend
hours every day learning a new foreign
language but you can use your time to
spend an hour or even just 10 minutes a
day every day studying or practicing if
you're on a busy schedule an hour a day
can sound like reaching for the stars
so start slowly with just a five-minute
lesson over time as you learn more and
it becomes more routine you'll want to
spend more time studying and your
studying doesn't even need to be all at
once make use of the little gaps of time
you have in the day listen to a podcast
while driving to and from work review
new words while on lunch break or right
before bed even a quick review while in
line at the store or waiting for the bus
together these moments add up this way
your little study session will add up to
around 60 minutes of practice every day
you'll quickly be able to see
significant improvement in your language
abilities number two don't method jump
when you're new to language learning
there's a temptation to try out the
newest course Apple
method there are more language learning
tools and courses than I can list but
jumping around from podcast to podcast
or from textbook to textbook can really
hinder your learning process it's
important to find the best method for
you but when you do stick with it don't
get distracted by the newest app or if
you suddenly find something faster
cheaper claiming it can teach you a
language with no work on your part stick
with your learning course or tool
consistent practice over a period of
time is what is essential for language
learning if you hit a bump or plateau
you might be tempted to think maybe
there's a faster better way to learn so
you search around and buy the next best
language learning tool only to use it
for a couple weeks and realize it wasn't
really any better than the last course
you tried and the same difficulties you
had are still there if you're learning
your first new language and you pick a
specific method or course we suggest you
stick with it for at least three to four
months you actually hurt yourself in the
long run if you constantly switch
between resources because you never give
yourself the opportunity to progress
number three focus on one thing at a
time when you decide to learn a new
language you're gonna be really excited
you have all your resources lined up a
plan in place and you're ready to go you
think you'll spend three to four hours a
day practicing and that you'll be fluent
in no time but that's only for about
three days then you probably will get a
little bit discouraged and avoid it for
another three days and this process
might repeat three or four times before
you realize that you might be
approaching things the wrong way
you can't devour a whole new language in
a very short time you'll burn out
immediately it's better to focus on one
small part of the language at a time
either a specific grammar point or
specific vocabulary topic in the
beginning these should be based on the
parts of the language you'll use right
away even in the business world
research shows that replacing less
important tasks with ones that add value
and help you reach your goals is the
best way to get the most out of your
time as you advance through the language
and your level increases try to pinpoint
the harder aspects of the language and
work on them one at a time learning a
foreign language isn't easy it takes
time and work but it is possible if you
stick to your learning plans and stay
focused you will see improvement in your
skills and find satisfaction in using
the language remember that learning a
language is really more like a journey
it doesn't have to feel like school or
work savor your experience with learning
