Single Success Secret to Learn English

After nearly six years of teaching English, I would say motivation is one secret to successfully learning English or any foreign language for that matter.

Do you feel like you will never dominate English? Are you out of energy or frustrated with your progress?

Check out these 6 ingredients of motivated English learning. Do any of these sound like you?

Purpose
Why are you studying English? Do you need English for work or study? What is the ultimate goal for studying English?

Discipline
Are you dedicated? Do you do your homework? Do you attend class regularly or make excuses instead?

How much independent study do you do?

Languages are not learned overnight. It takes years of focus, frustration, and mistakes.

I learned Spanish over four years in school and later 8 months in Madrid. Between the two I did not study formally, but I kept reading Spanish. I kept my goal alive to learn Spanish.
