Mentality of learning

Now I am going to write a bit about the mentality that you need to create. Mentality in language learning is way more important than you might think. First of all, if you just want to learn a language at any cost but you hate it, you will simply struggle and you simply can't learn that language because you totally believe that it is impossible and you don't enjoy it at all. If you are here that it means you would like to learn Spanish and what is more important that you are interested in learning Spanish.

Furthermore, you have to find reasons why you need this language and it's even better if you write it down and read it recently. By the way, you should create an excel file about your goals like I will learn 100-500 words in March or I will learn grammar. It is ought to be detailed what you want to achieve and if you achieved just tick it. Just imagine it, if you can check your progress and you can see a lot of achieved goals then you will be proud of yourself and it will motivate you and the learning will be even easier.

Be positive! Just stop saying that you can't learn this or that language! Say that you can learn it and believe it that you can learn it!

 And finally a really truthful quote from Thomas Edison:
"Genius was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration."
