7 minutes and 7 seconds to language
learning success
okay so what's the seven minute seven
second rule to language learning success
first let me explain where this tactic
comes from a lot of you might relate
have you ever had a bit of free time and
gone to youtube to see what's new you
play a video and just keep going and
going watching the recommended videos
and other things of interest it's really
easy to get sucked in right imagine you
finally stop watching after a really
terrible video that's seven minutes and
seven seconds long have you ever
suddenly realized how much time you've
wasted and thought what is this what am
i doing with my time you've just been
sitting there watching videos yes
although the final video was just seven
minutes and 7 seconds think of the total
amount of time wasted watching all those
videos it's a lot
this is where the 7 minutes and 7
seconds idea comes from if you have 7
minutes and 7 seconds to watch youtube
you have 7 minutes and seven seconds to
learn a language
now you might be thinking this isn't
enough time or you won't make a real
dent in your language progress with that
but let's talk about
why seven minutes and seven seconds is
all you need to get started with a
language
first and foremost for anything you do
in life routines are the cornerstone of
success so if you can stick with a
routine you're on a guaranteed path to
mastering your language and the 7 minute
7 second rule gives you just that a
simple specific routine put in just
seven minutes and seven seconds a day
and when you're done that's it
here's what's so nice about the seven
minute seven second rule
first it's good for your motivation
think about it when we think of learning
language we imagine spending hours
learning a language and this ruins our
motivation doesn't it or if you knew you
had to write an essay and that it would
take two hours you wouldn't be too
excited about starting it
now imagine you had a stopwatch in front
of you and you saw you had three more
minutes to go that doesn't feel so bad
and that's a major reason why this
tactic works so well it's not a serious
commitment that you dread all day you
don't feel bad about it and second it's
easy to do
there's no excuse not to find seven
minutes and seven seconds in a day when
a day is one thousand four hundred forty
minutes so if you're walking or driving
to the store for ten minutes you can
easily put that time in
so think of the seven minutes and seven
seconds rule as your small measurable
goal for the day it's the kind of goal
that we often talk about setting it's
small enough to accomplish it's
measurable so that you know when you
reach it and all you have to do is hit
that number every day and you're done so
if you have a tough time getting into a
language learning routine this is
perfect for you
so what should you do
first set a stopwatch to seven minutes
and seven seconds and put it in the
background then start learning you can
use whatever resources you already have
to fill up that time but if you're using
our learning program
the first easiest thing you can do is
learn with our audio and video lessons
they're usually between 3 and 15 minutes
long just press play
our teachers teach you a practical
dialogue they translate everything and
you can start speaking
if you're under seven minutes when the
lesson is done you can replay or review
it or you can move on to another lesson
second study with our spaced repetition
flashcards since you have to be actively
paying attention this will be a bit
harder than just taking lessons but
again this is something you can sync
seven minutes into
third you can read and review the lesson
notes inside you get the lesson
conversation grammar explanations the
vocabulary and cultural insights so just
read through and put in the time
once your stopwatch hits 7 minutes and 7
seconds you're done you're free if you
go over that's okay too but seven
minutes seven seconds is the minimum
limit then repeat this tactic every
single day and you'll realize how easy
it is to maintain this routine
so if you've had a tough time sticking
to a learning routine give this a try
