I applaud 👏🏻 those who are multi-lingual because it ain’t easy to learn new languages and cultures. I’m learning Japanese 🇯🇵 and Russian 🇷🇺 which are one of the hardest language’s to learn and it’s a struggle 🥵

After watching this, I want to continue learning Japanese and Korean. I got interested in those languages because of anime and K-pop. I have been learning it casually by myself for many years, and I took a Japanese online class for a semester. I want to learn so I can travel to Japan and Korea one day. Thank you, Ruri, for making this video! It's so helpful and informative.😊👍💕

Speaking with foreign friends makes learning languages fun and sustainable.

in brief:
The video discusses strategies and the importance of consistency in language learning, especially for those with busy schedules.
1. **Introduction**:
- The video addresses those who have multiple responsibilities and struggle to find time for language learning.
- Motivation is unreliable; it fluctuates daily. The benefits of language learning, not the act itself, are what drive many.
- Relying solely on motivation or self-discipline often fails. The solution is to create systems that don't depend on either.

2. **Why Learn a Language?**:
- Learning languages improves cognitive abilities and offers opportunities to connect with new people, potentially leading to business opportunities.
- The internet has made networking easier, allowing for connections across the globe.
- Learning a language also broadens one's perspective, as it comes with understanding the culture and customs of the speakers.

3. **Creating a System for Language Learning**:
- Day 1: Planning and feedback day. Understand why you want to learn a language and plan realistically.
- Day 2: Creation Day. For instance, create flashcards for vocabulary.
- Days 3-7: Study days. Listen to content in the target language, practice with flashcards, and complete daily tasks.

4. **Consistency is Key**:
- Consistency, combined with reflection and improvement, is crucial. It's more important than raw talent or motivation.
- The video emphasizes the importance of outworking others and being persistent. Consistency will eventually lead to success, even if one faces failures along the way.

5. **Recommendations**:
- The video recommends the Lingoda Language Sprints, a two-month intensive learning challenge, to see rapid progress.
- The sprints offer group and private lessons in various languages, focusing on real-life conversations.

6. **Conclusion**:
- The video concludes with a message about the power of consistency. While talent, luck, and skills are essential, being consistent can outshine them all.
- The journey might be filled with failures, but persistence and consistency will lead to success.

The video serves as an inspirational guide for those looking to integrate language learning into their busy lives, emphasizing the power of consistency and systematic planning.

You almost hit 1M subs congrats Ruri! I love languages but I often give up because I don't find irl people with the same passion of mine. Plus, I'm not surrounded by people that speak my target languages and I ask myself "should I learn skills that are more worth it? Is my passion "stupid" compared to others?" Many times I say to myself that I've not been able to make a living from my hobbies and passions. Often I even neglect my passions because I reckon others to be more "useful". Need to learn listening to myself <3

[Vikoboi]

I always try my best to continue to improve my English and a lot of native English speakers have told me that not only do they feel that I have good English but because of my mindset to always look for improvement, they said that I will surpass many native English speakers just because many of them are already content with the vocabulary that they have at their disposal and so they stay there, in contrast to me who always look to learn more. I listen to interviews from youtube mostly that's when I learn the best and also interacting with people who speak English to put what I learned to use :) I don't always have much to add to your content but yeah keep up the good work Ruri! Take care and much love to you all!

Great video! Finding time to learn a language while working can be challenging, but it's definitely possible. I appreciate the tips you shared, like utilizing breaks, commuting time, and creating a consistent schedule. It's all about prioritizing and being consistent. Thanks for the helpful advice!

[monikasasmr]

I'm struguling with Japanese and I also have exams next year in German but I never really study it cuz either I procrastinate it or forget it and then I don't have time and it's the end of the day but this video helped me. I had the mindset that if I had to study I had to do it properly but I can just take 20 mins out of my day just each day to learn it and get ahead. Thank you so much Ruri you are my favourite creator when it comes to improving💚

[LearnAndTransform]

It's ridiculously mind-blowing to break down the rule of 100 into a day: just 18 minutes. And you'll be better than 95% of the world. Just 18 minutes a day. Thanks for sharing with us!

[djberry]

this is a sign, im currently learning Japanese and you always give me tips ive never heard or seen before, i will do my best to always Support this channel!

[BJ]

Thank you for this video. A lot of times, when i practice a new language. i feel stupid and bad for not understanding something right away, then i get demotivated and stop, but the things you said about consistency are definitely going to help me out with carrying on even if i suck for a while.

[FitandFinanciallyFree]

Appreciate your kind efforts to assist individuals like us who aspire to learn different languages. English is the specific language I am determined to enhance my proficiency in speaking and writing. May your channel continue to assist a wider audience, serving as a source of inspiration and motivation for those aiming to learn another language, particularly non-native speakers who seek to improve their chances of securing promising employment opportunities in the future and providing support for their families and loved ones. I wish your YouTube channel continued success and growth.
