おうさまの いえ

Do you ever wish you had a personal coach for language learning? The good news is—you can be your own. 

In this episode of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Create identity-based goals that stick
✨ Build automatic habits with if–then plans and habit stacking
✨ Run a weekly self-check to track and adjust
✨ Use WOOP to turn obstacles into clear next steps
✨ Speak to yourself like a kind, encouraging coach

In Episode 93, you learn how to life-coach yourself through your language journey with compassion and structure. You begin with an identity statement that anchors your learning, then set one clear outcome and two supportive behaviours. You discover how to make practice automatic through if–then plans, habit stacking, and pairing practice with daily routines. A weekly self-check helps you track progress, reduce friction, and adjust kindly. Tools like WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) keep you moving forward, and self-talk shifts from criticism to encouragement. With simple drills for vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening, speaking, and writing, you create a steady system that keeps you consistent and motivated.

Listen now and discover how to coach yourself with compassion, structure, and steady progress.
And if you’d like extra guidance, I’d love to walk this journey with you in class on Italki.

Prepositions in English can be hard! In today's episode, I break down the different ways we use "for" and "to" to give meaning to sentences. For example, in the sentence, "I am giving this gift to you for your friend!", do you know why I use both "for" and "to"? This is one of many examples I give to you in this episode! You only need 7 minutes to improve your English with today's episode!
