Just do it

There's a certain level of commitment required to learn any language. Most people are capable, but most of them just don't do it. There are a lot of reasons, but they don't really matter. If you've decided to learn a language, you need to just do it. There is so much information out there. Videos, blogs, courses, games, etc.

There are many ways to learn a language. You really just have to pick one and do it. I've mentioned a few of the sites I enjoy, the main ones being Duolingo, Memrise, and LingQ.

You can find music in the target language and listen to it.

You can watch YouTube videos galore on everything you could want to know about learning the language.

But you don't.

It doesn't take a lot of time to grow steadily, but it takes commitment. Don't be a poser. Take it seriously or you really will be wasting your time. That doesn't mean you have to take a college course or shell out hundreds of dollars. I've spent a total of $9 on language learning in the last year.

I've even shared ways to convert your commutes and shower times into language learning sessions.

But you have to do it. Pick one technique. Just one.

And do it.

Show yourself it's possible. You have to build momentum or you'll accomplish nothing.

A half hour class is not commitment. Fifteen minutes a day, though, can show dividends. If you are serious about learning a language but have a legitimate obstacle or struggle, I want to help you. I'll give you the tools, but you have to do one thing in return.

You just have to do it. Follow through. Set a goal and make yourself reach it.

Now stop reading, and do it.
