How can we keep our motivation to keep learning STRONG? Well, motivation comes from seeing progress and getting results. Think about it. The first time you had a real conversation… I bet you were so excited! But you were also motivated to study, practice, and continue improving. Or when you heard a new word or phrase that you recently learned… And you actually UNDERSTOOD the movie scene because of it. This motivated you to discover MORE of these words and phrases so you could have more experiences like this one. In this episode, we will explain how focusing on the right activities and getting the right type of feedback can be a game changer! 🎙️ Connect with Teacher Curtis & Real English Conversations
