you might want to quit.

The first thing that you should do to stay excited is:
10
39300
4610
00:43
Do something fun.
11
43910
2020
00:45
Maybe find a youtube video that's really entertaining, something that will make you laugh.
12
45930
5350
00:51
Maybe find a television show that you find especially entertaining, and just take some
13
51280
4990
00:56
time to laugh at what's happening on the screen while you're listening to English.
14
56270
5620
01:01
The second thing that you can do to stay excited and happy about learning English is:
15
61890
6850
01:08
To set a schedule.
16
68740
1880
01:10
Maybe you'll decide that on Mondays you'll do some English reading.
17
70620
3980
01:14
On Tuesdays you'll do some English listening practice.
18
74600
4330
01:18
Maybe on Wednesdays you'll take a break.
19
78930
2700
01:21
And Thursdays you'll practice some writing.
20
81630
3010
01:24
And on Fridays you will try to find someone with whom you can have an English conversation.
21
84640
6590
01:31
Having a schedule is an external motivator.
22
91230
3790
01:35
It's something outside of you that helps you to stay on track with your English learning
23

progress.
24

01:42
The third thing that you can do to stay motivated is:
25
102810
4250
01:47
To find encouragement.
26
107060
1880
01:48
There are two things that can really encourage you to learn English more.
27
108940
5320
01:54
One is to find a group of people who are also learning English.
28
114260
4950
01:59
Maybe you could find a local group of people, a language learning club, or maybe you can
29
119210
5520
02:04
find a group online.
30
124730
1940
02:06
And these people will be in the same position as you.
31
126670
4050
02:10
And they will be able to give you encouragement.
32
130720
3030
02:13
But don't forget, when other people are encouraging you, be sure to return the favour, and encourage
33
133750
7130
02:20
them as well.
34
140880
1160
02:22
Another source of encouragement could be a website or app like Duolingo, which will reward
35
142040
5800
02:27
you for each small step you make in your English learning progress.
36
147840
5619
02:33
The fourth thing that you can do to stay motivated while learning English is:
37
153459
5140
02:38
To tie your interests to your language learning.
38
158599
3651
02:42
If you like soccer or football, try watching a match in English.
39
162250
5480
02:47
If you like reading books, try to read a book that you enjoyed in your own language in English.
40
167730
6780
02:54
If you enjoy films.
41
174510
1860
02:56
Try watching a film that is in your own language and then watch it again in English.
42
176370
6130
03:02
All of these things can help you to continue to improve your English.
43
182500
5510
03:08
The fifth thing that you can to motivate yourself while learning English is:
44
188010
4180
03:12
To set good goals.
45
192190
1890
03:14
A goal might be to learn a certain amount of vocabulary in a month.
46
194080
5550
03:19
Or you might register to take a language test three months in the future, and then you will
47
199630
6340
03:25
be motivated to study as the test date approaches.
48
205970
4730
03:30
Both of these are good ways to establish external motivations that will help you to continue
49
210700
5680
03:36
studying English when you just don't feel like it.

2190
03:49
You just need to keep at it.
54
229920

03:51
It takes a little bit of time.
