they're yours to keep forever okay let's
jump into today's topic
the three powerful language learning
lessons you'll pick up at the gym
the first lesson is how to approach your
goals and language learning so why are
we talking about the gym
the gym is a great example because it's
filled with people working on their
goals and it gives you a snapshot of
where most people are with their goals
and everyone there has one goal to be
fit but not everyone is there yet you
have a few people that look like fitness
models then you have around 20 or 30
people that have good respectable
physiques the middle group and then the
rest of the people are still working
their way up it's motivating because
everyone has a chance of succeeding if
you've been to the gym you understand
the importance of repetition doing reps
a rep is the number of times you do a
certain exercise like 15 push-ups is 15
reps of push-ups so even people still
working toward their goals have a chance
of succeeding if they put in the reps if
they do a little bit a day over a long
period of time they'll get there the
process is simple the more you do the
longer you stick with it the more
progress you make
and the same goes for learning language
or any other goal in life it's about
putting in the reps a little bit a day
consistently for a long period of time
if you want to get bigger muscles you
pick up a dumbbell and you do reps if
you want to learn more words you do the
reps five new words a day so what can
you do right now for example if you're
using our program just do one lesson a
day if you have a textbook do one page a
day if you're using an app put in five
minutes a day
again everyone has a chance to succeed
they just need to put in the reps and
they need to make the time
this is where the second lesson comes in
you'll learn how to find and make time
to learn a language
there's a reason the people you see at
the gym daily and especially the people
you see at 10 pm on a friday are the
ones with above average results they're
the most consistent
but how do they get that level of
consistency there tend to be three types
of people
first the people that have plenty of
free time so it's a non-issue for them
second the busier people they make time
regardless of what their schedule is
like meaning they show up at 1am just to
fit in a session or they cancel other
plans to make time
and third the people who have made it a
habit
they're so used to going that they don't
have to think about it ideally you want
to be in the third group with language
learning but most people fall into the
second group the truth is that to make
time they have to cancel other plans
some wake up earlier to squeeze in a
session in the am some go late at night
it's the same exact thing with language
learning you make time
the good news with language learning is
you don't need to open up a lesson at
1am and put in an hour
with our learning program you'll get our
quick but powerful 3 to 15 minute audio
and video lessons and because the
lessons are short you can easily make
time you can do a lesson on your commute
or while walking somewhere imagine
learning a quick conversation while on
your way to the store
finally the third language learning
lesson you'll learn at the gym is why
you don't need the best possible routine
to get results
have you ever heard a friend say i have
to start the right way it has to be
perfect well this is a disastrous way to
start anything whether fitness or
language learning and most learners
spend a lot of time worrying about
starting right instead of just starting
and keeping at it but the point is if
you start learning from a textbook and
stick with it you'll get results you'll
improve your reading vocabulary and
grammar of course it won't get you
speaking you'll only get good at what
you focus on but the fact is you'll
still make progress
same with the gym if you start off with
bicep curls you'll see progress in time
but at some point you'll need to add in
legs as well you can't skip leg day so
here's what you can learn here's what
smart beginners do they don't look for
the best way to start they just start
and keep going
and once they have a consistent routine
they start optimizing they improve their
routine if you start taking one lesson a
day and can easily maintain that routine
then you might eventually realize that
you want to practice speaking you need
to shadow that lesson's conversation so
you add shadowing to your routine and
that's how you grow
same thing with the gym the smart
beginners make sure they do their reps
and come in as much as possible
and doing the basics is enough for them
to build muscle
later on they'll start adjusting their
exercises and adding new ones but you'll
never get to that point if you overthink
yourself into inaction and don't build
that habit
so as long as you start and continue
most starting routines and learning
methods are good enough you don't need
the best possible one right now you
could have the best possible language
learning program but if you don't use it
consistently it's useless
alright so today you learned one how to
approach your goals two how to find time
to learn a language and three why you
don't need the best possible routine or
learning program
