Kia ora!
Today's episode is a bit different. I wanted to share 3 things with you in regards to language learning. I try to implement these in my own life, and I've managed to improve my reo Maori skills, and become conversational in two additional languages.
1 - It's common and very normal to burn with passion and intense desire towards your language goal and then have that flame fizzles out. - Rest, leave that language alone, and come back to it later.
2 - Speaking out loud gives you the opportunity to make mistakes, and that's a good thing. Knowing the gaps in your knowledge allows you to improve.
3 - Make the language part of your identity, make it an everyday language. I've built friendships which only exist in Te Reo Maori, that is how I go about making the language part of my identity.
