What would you use instead of the verb "encourage"? Hello everybody, I have a question about If you want to avoid repeating the verb "encourage someone to do something". For example when you want to encourage someone to learn a foreign language. What other verbs would you use? Thank you

There are some other words but not many, it can depend on the situation you are encouraging someone with. You can say I supported Ann while she was going through a difficult time. I supported her to write her English homework. This last sentence is correct but it is not quite the same as encourage :) You could use cheer if it is a race, I cheered her on during the race, which is similar to I encouraged her on during the race. You could use helped as it has more uses, I helped her to study, I helped her during her difficult time. I helped them when they were feeling sad. This is similar to encourage.
