Unused books. Unopened apps. Chaotic schedule. You talking to me Luca? 🤨😁 Discipline over motivation. Needed that, I’m never motivated. Grande video! 👍🏼

[CouchPolyglot]

The issue is that most people overestimate what they can learn in a week or two and underestimate what they can learn in one or two years of consistency (habits and discipline, like you said)
Keep up the good content 😄👍

Charles' Duhigg's Power of Habit principles are perfect for this:
1. Have very clear what materials you will use (Assimil is amazing, I'd start with that as well).
2. Set a time of the day to do it daily.
3. Have the materials in an obvious, visible place.
4. Do something enjoyable right after as a reward (only if you've done everything you wanted to do).
do that for a few weeks and..Boom! Language learning habit created.
Anyway, back to my Russian learning...

I start my new day by watching your video Luca 😊😎🤣
I’m Vietnamese and my favorite language learning is English.
I had learned English since I was 14 years old only, and my goal when I was 17 years old was to be able to communicate with people (in English fluently of course)
Until now… I’m glad that I don’t have to turn the translate button or Engsub because I can listen and understand 99% of what you said in your video!
I’m a self-learner languages via Duolingo app (English, Chinese and Dutch) and other resources on the Internet.
I followed your Youtube channel since 2015 😊😊😊and so grateful to know there is someone like you who are really passionate in his learning language journey.
Thanks for everything Luca!🙏🙏🙏
Wish you all the best and stay safe🍃🌼

The Key: Learn every single day, making habits and choosing content according to you level and obviously have fun, We should enjoy the process even if we don't feel motivated, Remember why you began it.
You have a new subscriber Luca.

Right now, I am learning Japanese and German, its harder for me at German, but I always do my best to learn them.
Learning languages is my passion.💕🌙

At the intermediate level, you always feel a sense of inadequacy because one single session does not really improve your level by much. However, if you compund that over a year or two, there's lot of progress to be made.

[artiesolomon]

The emphasis on avoiding the common problem of de-motivation in learning a new language is spot on. Also finding bilingual texts is most valuable as you suggest. Thank you, Luca.

[micahstoerzinger]

As someone who would like to study abroad in Germany within the next few years, this is extremely helpful. Brilliant as always Luca!

[AfroLinguo]

You are so right about being ready to learn the language regularly for a long time. I feel like many people give up on languages because they haven't created the habit of learning the languages regularly for a long time.

My first thought was - damn, this garden in the background looks like typical Polish garden - then scrolling down to read some comments - "I recorded this video in Poland" xD

[stevencarr]

Motivation is unreliable. This. Exactly this. Motivation will vanish one day, especially if you have a setback, which will also happen one day. Luca is totally right. Discipline is needed.

Several months ago I wanted to start learning Chinese but lately what I've mostly doing is watching videos about learning languages:
how to start learning a language;
the best way to learn a language;
how I learned Chinese in 6 months;
Mistakes when you learning languages;
best ressources to learn a language;
how to stay motivated learning languages, ...




I guess I've watch enough of input about this topic and now I'll get those knowledge in practice. I'm gonna learn Chinese.

[stephenrichards]

You are an incredible mentor and inspiration, Luca. Your videos are always of such a high quality and you are so generous with the top-notch advice you share. I just want to thank you for your great work.

[samiahmood]

Motivation has to do with feelings while discipline is related to our mindset. Willing to learn works better than just having the feeling to do it

[libyschefrau]

I enjoyed the entire video, it all starts with 🧠. Doing a little things every single on the exact time can create a winning mindest for life.my whole life changed completely.and I'm grateful for that matter, LuCa you're so awesome.

[rottingrearcommunications]

You are right Luca, I generally don't use an academic approach. Years ago, I remember you used an analogy of learning to ride a bike. It rings true today, and makes total sense. Regarding resources, I have steered away from the mainstream books etc, I just use authentic and engaging stuff, as you said. Cheers

[aktchungrabanio]

Thank you Luca! Very helpful tips. Greetings from Mexico.
