Setting SMART Goals for the New Year

🗣️ Tired of feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed in your language journey?

What if the secret to fluency isn’t another textbook or app—but you?

In Episode 97 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we explore how humanistic psychology can help you learn with more joy, less stress, and deeper self-awareness. This isn’t about hacking your brain—it’s about healing your relationship with learning.

We will explore how humanistic psychology transforms language learning from a stressful task into a journey of personal growth and inner peace. Instead of focusing on flaws or pressure, it teaches you to trust your innate desire to learn, create a kind and safe emotional environment for yourself, and embrace self-compassion as the key to resilient, joyful, and effective learning. Perfect for learners who believe languages aren’t just about words—but about becoming more fully yourself.

You’ll discover:

Why your desire to learn a language is a natural force for growth—and how to trust it.

How to quiet your inner critic and make space for curiosity and courage.

The science behind self-compassion and why being kind to yourself isn’t “soft”—it’s strategic.

Practical ways to build a learning practice that respects your emotions, time, and unique rhythm.

This episode is for those who believe learning a language isn’t just about words—it’s about becoming more fully yourself.
