Listen Later

We discuss language progress. Lindsay has been extremely disciplined, and Kerstin's been to a community class.


  • How to find the time for language even when you're megabusy

  • Community Classes and Polyglot Clubs have lots in common

    • New Year's Resolutions!

  • What we think about the resolution that is "I will become fluent in..." or "I will learn the language..."

  • Why "fluency" is an ambition and not a goal

  • The unfailing SMART goalsetting technique

  • Working out what is driving your resolution and "what your problem is" can help you get more motivation to change

  • How can your resolution serve you even if you don't achieve it?

  • Why is excitement essential when fear is destructive?

  • And what are our themes and resolutions for 2016?

    • The Episode Takeaway

    Set yourself a theme for the new year!
