I said this somewhere recently, but I’ve finally been able to get back into my polyglot pursuits. As with anything in life there are ebbs and flows and language practice is one of those things for me. It’s not that language learning or practice isn’t a priority because it is! But by the end of day, sometimes I just don’t have it in me which is why I’ve taken to reorganizing the structure if my days in order to make sure that I get some practice in. I’ve also taken a no amount is too small approach which has helped a lot! With this approach even if I only have 5-10 minutes to study, I count that as a win because ultimately I know that slow practice over a long period of time will help to build fluency.
Another thing that I’ve done is be more open about this passion of mine. Yes, I’ve talked about it on the blog but I’ve integrated language learning into my YouTube and twitch content so that it’s always at the forefront of my mind. Plus, I want to share this journey that I’m on.
My two primary focuses are on Spanish and French. Once I get to my desired level with these, I’ll add in others.
One of my upcoming YouTube videos will go over this too.
Until tomorrow!
