Enjoyment is the Key to Sustainable Habits

May 2023  |  Tips for building your language learning habit series

One of the keys to developing sustainable habits is to make them enjoyable. If you dread your language learning routine, you will find it hard to stick to it. On the other hand, if you enjoy the process, you’ll be more likely to keep going.

The good news is that you can make any habit more enjoyable with a little creativity. Try to find ways to make your language learning routine fun and engaging. For example, you could:

• Gamify your learning by setting a streak goal in LalTal
• Listen to music or podcasts in the language you’re learning
• Watch TV shows or movies with subtitles to improve your comprehension
• Let your coach know what you find interesting, and ask them to send you some prompts about that.

By finding ways to make your habit enjoyable, you’ll be more likely to stick with it in the long run. Remember, the key to developing sustainable habits is to make them something you look forward to, not something you dread.

Keep up the good work!
