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.

SMART Goals for Active Listening:
Here are some examples of SMART goals you can set to improve your active listening skills:

1. Improve comprehension in work meetings:

Specific: I will actively listen during all team meetings by summarizing key points after each agenda item.
Measurable: I will track the number of times I summarize key points and the accuracy of my summaries based on colleague feedback.
Attainable: I will start by summarizing after one agenda item per meeting, then gradually increase to all items over a month.
Relevant: Improved comprehension will lead to better participation and decision-making in meetings.
Time-bound: I will implement this for the next 3 months and evaluate progress then.
2. Enhance communication with family:

Specific: I will practice active listening with my partner by reflecting back their emotions and using open-ended questions during evening conversations.
Measurable: My partner will provide feedback on whether they feel heard and understood by my responses.
Attainable: I will focus on actively listening during one conversation per evening for the next two weeks.
Relevant: Improved communication will strengthen my relationship with my partner.
Time-bound: I will practice this for two weeks and then discuss adjustments with my partner.
3. Become a more supportive friend:

Specific: I will actively listen to a friend facing a challenge by maintaining eye contact, avoiding interruptions, and offering summaries of their situation.
Measurable: My friend will report feeling supported and understood after our conversation.
Attainable: I will dedicate focused listening time during one conversation with a friend per week for a month.
Relevant: Active listening will help me be a more supportive friend.
Time-bound: I will implement this for one month and then reflect on its impact on our friendship.
Remember, these are just examples. You can modify them to fit your specific needs and goals!

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日もみなさん、お元気ですか？

今日は個人でするツアーガイドを準備しています！についてはなします。

北海道には、有名な場所でなくても、たくさんの自然や魅力的な場所があります。この魅力を、沢山の人に体験してもらいたい、と考えています。


それで、今、僕はAirbnb experienceでlocalな walking guideを準備しています。僕はほぼ毎日、朝に散歩しています。近くの大きな公園、神社、川を歩きます。この僕の散歩コースはとても気持ちが良いコースです。

これのコースを、日本のローカルな場所でできる体験として、海外からの旅行客の方に提供したいなと考えています。


このコースはとても日本らしく、また北海道の自然を楽しめるコースです。日常の生活の近くにこのような場所があるのは、とてもおもしろいところだと思います。

ローカルな体験をしたい方にはとてもいいコースだなと思っているので、今このコースのガイドをするために準備しているところです。


Airbnb experienceは、日本ではまだ数は少なく、東京、京都、大阪などは多いですが、北海道はさらに少ないです。

大勢のツアーではなく、1組や2組だけの小さいガイドで日本を楽しんでほしいと思います。


ということで、今回は個人のツアーガイドについて話しました。最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
