it is better not to rely on motivation, but rather have a daily routine. That way you don't have to ask yourself if you feel like it, but do it automatically. Also, microtasks are better than nothing. I study at least 10 minutes of Swedish a day and it builds up :)
That's literally what' she said
yeah with 10 mins a day you will master it in 10 years
@@AngelliaX 🤣 you actually need to check out @couchpolyglot last video with a Swedish teacher….. she has learnt enough Sweden in 9 months to hold full conversations. It’s impressive! Don’t underestimate the power of consistency 🤩
Lycka till med din svenska! ☺️
LSeems like./..Mme. Zoe
, or Zoe Nushi, says that you hen we learn languages we study th contents--vocabulary,., & forms--1various study techniques all at same time.
1. Simplicity
- start small then grow big
- make a habit
ex) Read just one news headline in the morning
2. prompt
- Tied a new habit with existing habit
- write your current habit and associating a new small language learning habit with it
- don't break the chain!
3. make this habit grow
I also found a lot of these tips in the book "atomic habits", I've been starting new habits by using the stacking method!! (after I come home from work I eat food, when I am finished I will immediately start language learning)
I am a huge fan of "Atomic Habits", awesome book! :)
GOOD
Yeah me too
Tip : When working-out, listen to a podcast while training or read a headline during your rest time. When eating lunch/dinner watch a 5 minutes video.
Tell me if it works 😊
I also agree
@@zoe.languages i think it depends on the person ,
Personally i do listen to podcasts when i grab a walk from work to home but most of the time i'm distracted by different things on my way so i decided to speed up the audio of podcast to adapt my ears to recognize each word in hight speed play mood .... this is the least thing i can do for time saving , most of the time i can't focus on the general meaning of audio but word by word🤭
我很喜歡學中文!
I write 1-2 sentences (sometimes more) in my journal everyday to practice writing. (I do this at night) I also highly recommend watching a short video / story in your target language/s. For me in Mandarin, I watch a YT channel called Little Fox Chinese. It’s super helpful to learn new vocabulary as its target audience are for kids. This helps me practice listening and reading (the subtitles in the videos). I usually do this while eating breakfast. For speaking, if I have extra time I would repeat some of the sentences or just the main vocabulary that I have heard while watching the video. So yeah, this is my habit for everyday. This only takes 15-20 minutes everyday. If I have more time (not busy), I would also study new grammar and vocabulary by writing it down and practicing how to use them in real life.
I'm going to watch the weather report in Korean every morning when I drink my coffee. I need to build a consistent habit of listening to native content without English content and I think the weather report will be good to start with because it's short, there's visuals to aid comprehension & similar vocabulary will be used every day.
I also agree
This is exactly what I needed. I’m currently trying to learn Japanese but I also have a full time job so it’s been hard trying to find time but using these small habits and methods sound promising so I’m definitely going to give it a try 💛
Me too, my friend 👍👍👍👍
I also agree
I am currently learning italian, I am a native portuguese speaker and I use your videos to improve my english skills as well. It's so great and magical to learn a new vocabulary and try to fit it in a phrase, or in my daily routine. It comes in opposite direction of those simply tiktok videos we were used to watch during quarantine where people don't say nothing different and only repeats the same song or phrase... It's like you're putting your mind to work, your brain to make conections, you're looking for a meaning of a word in the middle of your sinapses. Watching videos about something like this is such a more constructive and productive way of doing things, than just spending a few seconds on useless content.
I also agree
You may want to use a native English speaker if you want to improve your English.
This is exactly what I do to be able to use the languages that I am learning at least. 5 minutes almost every day, the languages are Turkish, Spanish, and French, so watching a 5-10minutes long French video in the morning while drinking my coffee, then another video in Spanish while eating Lunch.

I'm going to learn Turkish too 、🇹🇷
Gosh! Can you read my mind🙊? I've been searching this topic on TH-cam lately. Since I'm working full-time while studying 3 languages. I feel so burnt out. Thanks a lot, Zoe💓.
Hello, dear! How is it going with your learning? I was so frustrating lately, as I want so desperately to start my German language journey, but I feel so lack of energy every time I'm back home from office. I have to learn English also every day. So, if you have any tips or tricks, could you please share! Thank you in advance. 🎀
Because I had the same struggles !

Zoe, i very love your explain. Since I watched your TH-cam , I feel confident to learn many languages even though I'm still at the intermediate level in English. Sanding love for Zoe
"love your explanation" and "sending love" that said your English is very good. keep learning and good luck in the future
@@SchinTeth thank you for correcting my mistake and typo hehe
@@Lovekurnia Its through mistakes that we learn, so you re welcome :)
I also agree
she's giving me the same feeling, in the last few weeks i started commenting on my favorits channels just to improve my english more
You've definitely inspired me! As a student in London who uses public transport every day to travel to and from school, I will now use my time to also read the news in Arabic instead of sitting there scrolling through my phone out of boredom, as an Arab who's trying to improve my Arabic :)

Another great video. Thank you so much Zoe! Daily routine brings us forward in language learning. Even small steps can bring us further than we think. Thank you for the video again.
Thank you so much. This was what I needed to hear. I am currently learning french and hope to learn Italian and I found your tips really helpful. Keep up the good work Zoe.
I’ve actually been meaning to read Tiny Habits so I appreciate this video! 😊 The tips sound very useful for not only language learning but many other things we tend to procrastinate or give up on.
I also agree
This is so we'll put together in my opinion and applies so well even to those with mental health struggles, very helpful and inspirational! Thanks 🙏🏽🙌🏽
I've a full time job, a family and a social life. By the way, I started to study Chinese and now that I'm hsk2, I want to try with sanscrit.
It's difficult, motivation sometimes goes away, but passion is the key to overcome obstacles.
That’s so true Zoe. I work during the day so I don’t find motivation in the end of the day, after two jobs you know?! But what you said about daily routine is something that push myself over it. I can study for 30 minutes after my day work, and I’m studying 3 languages: mandarim, Korean and Italian. Really good advices tho, thanks a lot! ❤️🇧🇷
Thank you so much Zoe! That's exactly the video I need to watch! Being full-time job worker is so frustrating sometimes, like the whole life has been passing by ...... But now I'm going to read the book you mentioned and build my system of habits! 🎀
Hope it will be helpful 🥰
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I also agree
I am also a full time professional learning new languages. I agree, not having the time is an obstacle to quickly learning the language. I have also built “habits” like listening to daily podcast in different languages to learn the language. Thank you for your video. New subbie.
I also agree
Logic and practical approach. Will give it a try. Thanks, Zoe.
شكرا جزيلا لكِ ؛ على هذه المعلومات والنّصائح القيّمة.
Thanks for your TH-cam job! It's really helpful for me. I watch and listen to you with a huge pleasure.
good, I also agree.
You are wonderful ❤ I watched you the first time , and I'm just amazed how you diciplined yourself and get such a great result by tiny actions. Now I have a will to read that book too❤
I just realized that I already use this "tiny habits method". I download a podcast or a youtube video in Turkish to my MP3 player and then I listen to it on the way to work or home. So I have every day 2 x 15 = 30 min practice at least.
good
I'm working full time this summer. I will be full time student again in the fall. But you have inspired me and I have decided to learn Italian
Wow great choice! I am planning to learn Italian too,good luck!
good, I also agree.
Fantastic video - thank you so much! I appreciate the insight on behavior and am going to be looking at French headlines when I make a cup of tea every morning, and learn/practice 1 Chinese character after I eat my lunch. Thank you Zoe!
I found your video very inspiring and I'll try to do your tasks someday:) Thank you so much for your advice! 💕
Great video! And I totally agree. It’s similar to building a habit to exercise or lose weight and simply, people make time for the things they WANT to make time for. I have 4 small kids, including a newborn, so I definitely have to be creative when learning and studying new languages. Your videos are now a part of my “one small habit” 😊! Thanks for sharing ❤️!
I also agree
I come across this channel and it really resonates with me. Thank you so much.
I am a doctoral student, too. I am inspired by you so much.
Thank you for your sharing. It helps!
thank you so much i really like your videos you inspire me to be nerdy and do the hard work!
Zoe-thank you very much fro your videos! I love your channel, because it is so full of helpful videos. I have a full schedule, and feel like I never have time to work on my language. It has made me sad, because I want to become fluent. Thank you for all of your tips. I appreciate you!
I'm so glad!
Thanks for sharing! 😄 I was feeling as a failure because I couldn't stick to my habits, but you explanation gave me a new perspective and now I know how can I fix my problems about it. Thanks a lot!
I also agree
Thank you so much Zoe for the tips! You are right, its all about of creating a habit.
I came to your video as I am looking for advises on how to keep on learning new languages. Mandarin in on my list 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing. Your method is really an incredible way for learning English.
I also agree
Great video! that's what I need to hear👌You're absolutly accurate and I definitely agree with , I've been struggling with that a lot , especially if I had a test or anything I would say I can't learn today cause I'm so busy , but now I will learn how to build a tiny habit . Thanks😊
I’m currently learning Korean & I’ve found it really helpful to pair waiting for the train with reviewing vocab words (since sometimes the train can take 15 minutes 😅). I’ve also started writing my grocery lists & labeling my containers of ingredients in Korean!
just what I need, thank you so much for share with us your tips and methods to improve my English learning
good, I also agree.
Thank you so much for sharing. I stop learning languages because of the lack of time ( always busy with my kids) but still it possible to make it work.
1. watch video in target language while doing a dishes
2. Listening a podcasts during the stroll
3. Speak with my baby in target language)
Zoe, thanks! I've recently started using this method of tiny habits. I try listening to English podcasts while I'm preparing for uni

I'm an Arabic Language and Middle Eastern Studies first year student. I'm currently on my second term but I have been lacking due to my mother's passing in January and ever since I have lost a sense of making habits and my motivation. Seems that algorithm knows my struggle and I found your video just now. I will try to make it a habit slowly! Thank you so much for making this video
رائع.. سوف أجرب طريقتك في التعلم.. أشكرك كثيرا
Thankyou Zoe! I highly needed the tips. As a mom who also got to take care of kid, home, but also want to start over my career as well as learning languages, your explanation really makes sense and in fact i dont expect that ive been doing the 'start small' thing as you said (eventho sometimes i break the chain). But hopefully, i can be more consistent in building a new habit.
Keep going 💪💪don’t break the chain 😉

Thank you for sharing. I am re-learning French for professional use. In the midst of making my study plan 🤍🙌🏾😊
So inspiring! I was already doing that without knowing it 😀 I always watch the Dutch news during breakfast because I get up before the kids so I have max. 10min for myself. And if it's only 5min never mind, I'll do it no matter what. But you inspired me to find an habit for English for example for which I always say "I don't have time to progress in English" 🤣
Here's a tip for those with children: buy children books in the targeted language for your kids so you'll read it together and learn new words together!
Much love Zoé! 🥰
I also agree
Wow..you have really explained it very well..i loved your video ❤️

I have a habit of watching YT or listening to a podcast while making breakfast. Now, I will replace it with language study and see how that goes!

Zoe, thank you a lot! I am in the similar situation as you, doing my PhD and all related academic stuff and struggling with learning two languages. It really sounds promising! One tiny thing is that sometimes it is quite challending to find consistent habits when you travel or/and have a very changing schedule :( Will try to rely on coffee and brushing my teeths for a while!
Hope it will be helpful!
