Set your personal learning goals to learn as effectively as possible
Working towards language goals is only worth it when those goals are personally relevant.
Focus on your personal learning goals, your deep-rooted reason to learn, before getting started to get the most out of yourself.
Why, why, why?
Ask yourself the question ‘why?’ three times to find your underlying reason. This way, you’ll go from what seems to be a crystal-clear goal to an answer that serves real motivational purpose.
For example: you don’t just want to improve your speaking skills, you want to be able to communicate better to build meaningful relationships with your Dutch friends.
