Don't keep it vague habits are hard to change after all those years. So you can imagine that creating new habits will not be easy. But based on a recent study. It is possible. If you continue doing it for at least 66 days, that's like two months by then. You will feel like it's a normal thing to do just like eating sleeping going to the bathroom you I'm trying to say right. Number three don't procrastinate we all watch successful people on TED talks and other YouTube videos telling their stories and how they made it. But have you ever thought about the thing that they all have in common they are not lazy people. They don't procrastinate they don't say that they want to postpone what they planned to do for that day. They are. Persistent and hardworking people. You see no one said that being successful is an easy thing. It needs discipline and determination. That doesn't mean that you can't be flexible. God forbid if you are sick or if there's an emergency, of course, you can go back to your schedule when everything is back to normal, but don't make excuses and break your habit the Habit, you worked so hard to build. Number four create a place for studying and identify distractions studying in the living room with allow TV in the corner is a No-No having your phone nearby with its ding ding and ping ping is a No-No to come on guys.

Also learning a language is a long journey. It is your journey. So enjoy it. it is your little baby growing up in front of your eyes the baby will fall and stand up again as it is trying to learn how to walk and so will your language love it and enjoy every moment number 7 identify what you love and hate about the English language make two lists and then start with the list that you I know but think about it. We all try to avoid what we hate so we won't do it any time soon start with that list and complete it some hate grammar some hate pronunciation lessons. It's different from person to person. Okay, once you do that, it's fun time. You can start to do what you love and have fun. Which brings me to number. over 8 Have fun choose your favorite style of learning some love to learn and practice by reading novels some like to watch movies and series some like to memorize songs and some like to listen to podcasts wink wink. Whatever it is. You will start to enjoy every second as you improve your skills because you did what you hate. Dated first plus your bad feelings your hatred will start to change. You won't hate it like you used to because it's not as hard as it once was you are reading or listening to it. So many times that it's starting to come naturally to you like it does in your native language. Hey, why is it so easy in your native language, huh?
