🌿 How to Learn a Language Without Overloading Yourself Anyone who’s been learning languages for a while has probably fallen into the same trap 😅 thinking that buying more materials means studying more. Yes, new books are beautiful, and apps look promising… but soon you realize you spend more time organizing than learning. 👉 If you’re super organized, great. But if you’re busy or not into planning, remember: less is more. One good book, a teacher who guides you, and some content you actually enjoy that’s enough. The rest? You can find online for free. 🎧 Input – What goes in: Surround yourself with the language. The more you listen and read, the more natural it feels. Follow creators, listen to podcasts, watch YouTube or series. Create your own small world in that language — it keeps you connected without feeling like “study time.” 🗣️ Output – What comes out: Speaking is the scariest but most powerful step. You don’t need to live abroad - you can talk on italki, join tandems, or chat online. People know you’re learning; no one expects perfection. Every mistake is progress - practice turns knowledge into confidence. 🌱 My 3 keys: ✨ Enjoy the process 💪 Stay consistent 🎯 Know why you’re learning And you — what helps you stay motivated when learning a language? 💬
