Why Tracking Your Progress is Essential for Success

May 2023  |  Tips for building your language learning habit series

Tracking your progress is one of the most effective ways to develop sustainable habits. By monitoring your progress, you can see how far you’ve come and stay motivated to continue.

There are many ways to track your progress, including:

• Keep a journal where you write down what you’ve learned each day.
• Work with your coach to set weekly and monthly goals that you can review at the end of each week
• Review the engagement chart LalTal sends every Monday and compare it to your participation goal. Be realistic. If you didn’t meet your goal, can you meet it next week, or is it better to adjust your goal?
• After a month, listen to the recordings you sent when you first got started. What differences do you hear? It’s amazing how quickly LalTal learners progress when they have daily interactions with their coach.

By tracking your progress, you can see the results of your hard work and stay motivated to continue. Remember, progress is not always linear, so don’t be discouraged if you have setbacks. Keep tracking your progress, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can achieve.
