| Peter: Now, Becky, here are the top 3 language learning fears according to our users. What do we have first on the list? |
| Becky: Ooh, the first one is a good one. It’s “I’m not good enough to start speaking yet.” |
| Peter: Listeners, do you feel like you’re not good enough to start speaking yet? |
| Becky: It’s a pretty common fear... or misconception, I think... that most learners have. |
| Peter: Well, here’s how you overcome it. |
| Becky: One - the best way to get good at speaking is to start speaking from day 1. So if you’re holding yourself back... |
| Peter: ...because you think you’re not good enough, well, that’s exactly why you’re not good enough. |
| Becky: You need to open your mouth and start talking! |
| Peter: Step two to overcoming this fear - In our lessons, you get the exact phrases and scripts for introducing yourself... |
| Becky: ...making small talk, ordering food, expressing opinions, and much more! |
| Peter: So, if you think you’re not good enough, the lessons will give you the exact lines to say. |
| Becky: Fear number two is... “I’m afraid I’ll never be fluent” |
| Peter: I used to worry about that. |
| Becky: Really? |
| Peter: Well, only as a beginner. I started learning Japanese first and, it’s funny because the better my Japanese got, the less I was worried about that. |
| Becky: So, how can our listeners overcome this? |
| Peter: First, you’ve got to set small, specific goals. Fluency is a big vague goal. |
| Becky: Right. |
| Peter: Arguably, we don’t even speak fluent English. There are over a million words in the English language and we use about 2,000 words. |
| Becky: So listeners, you should focus on smaller goals... |
| Peter: ...like being able to introduce yourself or having a 5-minute conversation. Or 10 minutes. Something you can measure so you know you reached it. |
| Becky: Because you can’t really measure fluency... it’s a pretty vague goal as Peter said. |
| Peter: Right. But you can measure small goals like... having a 5-minute conversation. |
| Becky: And as these small goals add up, you’ll be speaking very comfortably! |
| Peter: Becky, what’s the third and final fear? |
| Becky: It’s “I’m afraid that I’m not making any progress.” |
| Peter: Ah, in other words, getting stuck. |
| Becky: If you’re afraid you’re not making progress, there are two things you can do right now. |
| Peter: First, use the dashboard to track your progress. If you need numbers to believe it... |
| Becky: ...our dashboard tracks all the lessons you’ve completed and shows how much you’ve accomplished. |
| Peter: Second, try a harder lesson on the site. It sounds crazy and you might not understand it... |
| Becky: ...but you will in minutes. Our lessons come with line-by-line translations... |
| Peter: ...and the lesson hosts explain everything. THEN, you’ll be making progress... |
| Becky: ...because you now understand something you didn’t minutes ago. |
| Peter: So, these are the top 3 fears. But tell us listeners... what language learning fears have you had? |
