When I was in college, I was learning another language.
And during the winter break one year, I decided that I wanted to improve my grammar in that
language.
All I had was a book and some worksheets.
I did make some progress, but it was boring, boring, boring!
Since then, I have learned to love grammar.
But what I needed at that time was a motivating method to learn grammar well.
So here's my advice to anyone else who considers grammar to be boring.
First, have a teacher--a real person that you not only read but also hear and see.
Second, get into a community of learners--a group of people who are learning the same
language that you are learning.
Find a friendly community of motivated learners.
This community can encourage you and help you learn.
Third, tell yourself every day why you are learning, why you want to become a better
person.
When we know why we are doing something, our motivation increases.
Maybe you need to remember a commitment that you made to improve.
Maybe you need to imagine what you will be able to do when you are fluent.
If grammar is boring or frustrating for you, I believe that following these tips can lead
to successful results.
During that winter break while I was in college, I thought grammar was boring.
Over the years since then, I have learned to enjoy grammar.
The grammar of a language is beautiful; it really is.
For me, that's the strongest motivation to learn the grammar of a language.
But many language learners consider grammar to be boring.
I understand; I also used to think that grammar is boring.
Until you actually learn to enjoy grammar, try following the three tips that I just gave.
