Feeling like a fraud in your language learning journey? You're not alone. 🥲

The constant pressure to be perfect, the fear of being "found out," the voice that says "you're not a real learner"... that's imposter syndrome. And it's holding you back from the joy of learning.

But what if you could make friends with that voice instead of fighting it?

In Episode 99 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we explore how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you:
✨ Accept anxious thoughts without being controlled by them
✨ Ground yourself in the present moment
✨ Reconnect with your real "why" for learning
✨ Take small, courageous steps forward—even when you feel insecure

This isn't about positive thinking. It's about powerful, value-driven doing.

Your journey to fluent, confident, and joyful learning doesn't start with more grammar. It starts with more self-compassion.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの31回目です。最近はほとんど一日中クーラーをつけています。食欲も無くなってきたので、そうめんやきゅうりを食べています。今月はいろいろな用事があって忙しかったです。最近はもっと仕事や語学について勉強しようと思っていて、読みたい本がたくさんあるのですが、なかなか読む時間が取れません。最近レッスンで生徒さんに聞いた「機会費用」の話が面白かったので、ベンジャミン・フランクリンの本を読みたいです。

Hello. This my podcast episode 31. These days I have the air-conditioner on almost all day long. I've lost my appetite and I'm eating Somen noodles and cucumbers. I've been busy this month with a lot of different things. Recently I have been trying to learn more about work and languages, and there are many books I want to read, but I can't find the time to read them. I want to read a book by Benjamin Franklin because I recently heard a student talk about 'opportunity cost' in a lesson and it was interesting.

先週ウェビナーが終わりました。ライブ時はコメントや質問がほとんどなかったのですが、実はライブが終わってから数分後に、たくさんのコメントや質問が一斉に送られてきていました。日本では、質問の時間は、最初の一人が質問するまで、まったく質問がない、沈黙の時間があるのが普通です。ところが英語圏では、どんどん質問が飛び出すのが普通です。

The webinar finished last week. There were very few comments and questions during the live session, but in fact, a few minutes after the live session was over, many comments and questions were sent in all at once. In Japan, there is usually a period of silence, with no questions at all, until the first person asks a question. In English-speaking countries, however, it is normal for questions to keep popping up.

当日裏方でウェビナーの操作をしていたitalkiの方は、英語のウェビナーの雰囲気に慣れていました。沈黙が続いたとき、質問がないと思って、私に気を使ってくれて、質問コーナーを早く打ち切りました。こういうところでも文化的な理解の違いがあるんですね。この違いに気づかなかったのは、私の経験不足です。もしまたウェビナーのホストをする機会があったら、この点を改善したいと思います。

How many words do you know?  500?  1000?  10000?  Does it even matter?  You’re learning a language…you just want to be able to speak.  Well, if that’s the case, you’re going to need to know words.  And let’s be real, if you’re not having fluent conversations, it probably has nothing to do with you not understanding English grammar.  Besides, native English speakers use very simple grammar in daily conversations.  More often than not, not being fluent is caused by the lack of words in that brain of yours.  But not to worry, this problem is fixable.

Modern language learning enthusiasts…you know, these Internet Polyglots, talk a lot about word frequency and this idea of your first 1000 words.  Let’s talk a little about where that comes from.
