Tip: if you're someone who scrolls on your phone while you're doing your business in the bathroom, you can use that time to listen to a podcast or review some flashcards on your phone🤣💁🏻♀🤷🏻♀ if your work or school is far from where you live, you can use that time to listen. I have about a 40-90 min drive to uni and back 4x a week, so I always use that time to listen to a podcast in my target languages (or affirmations, cause mindset is important, too ;))
I'm not sure if it counts, but I use the days of the week as my anchor(s). And apply my target language to tiny repetitive tasks that I do daily like bathe, eat clean and using social media in the target language..... I do 6 languages consecutively....
@@winniemaereact1391 well, if you're asking about me I'm currently studying Swedish, began to learn ASL the correct way (tried to learn years ago, knew very little but thought I was a pro), and in 2023 I'm starting Russian, plus picking Spanish back up. Crossing my fingers that I'll learn more on my own than I did for my 3.5 years from school
One could smile knowing my anchor: Duolingo! More seriously, my main obstacle to learning is procrastination, Duolingo helps me a lot, especially to practice pronunciation and speaking.
I know that every day (unless something unexpected happens) between 18 - 20 it's time for learning a language. Usually I set 2 forest sessions. if I feel capable I do more, but never less that 1 session (45 mins). it's already in my blood I think :D
Ahhhhh, my favorite notification!! Lindie has posted a new video 😍 Thanks for your amazing tips, I'm learning Arabic and German and your videos always help me a lot! Thanks for everything 🤗
I saw your videos about the challenge of Arabic language, it was a really interesting video. I'm learning Portuguese after 2 years learning English, l decided to learn Portuguese language and l fell in love with it!😍😍
@@rosedabel3178 I'm so happy you liked my video, thanks for watching! If you need anything, please know that, as a native speaker of Portuguese, I'm here for you 🤗
I started making a daily schedule for everything at the start of this year. I find it makes a huge difference having a physical schedule than just put on a device like, every night before bed I usually write down or make a list. However, in regards to language learning it has changed a little but. For example, I used to do an hour of Russian and Swedish each but with school it became to exhausting so now, it is 40 minutes each. And if I do not have time time to learn or I am sick I will at least watch something in that target language. I ended up only taking one class this semester so, I could focus on my health but next semester I want to try and manage at least 2-3 so, I will see how that works out.
You are great person and I've been learning English when I was watching your video. I bought own Notebook and it's amazing how many hours I was spending to improve my English and you are inspired me and I start learning the seconds language - Spanish. I 'm a mum and I spend every possible moment to learn my language. It is hard but not impossible. I heard about smart study and I loved it. The book 'Deap work' which you recommended sounds great and I'll put on my gift list. And my daily routine was change and now I want to more listening than before. If something doesn't work is natural for me let it go. But a few years ago was not the case by me. Thanks for your movie :)
I've been trying to set modest goals for a while now but back in the day I used to do the opposite. I never reached the goals but I got excited about them. I miss that. I think I am going to give ambitious goals a shot again.
I do like the idea of writing things down, maybe in some sort of journal. I tend to do a lot tech based things when it comes to language learning, but doing some writing might be a useful way for me to track progress. I've often thought about iTalki lessons but they can be expensive. If I can set enough money aside one day, I'll definitely do them. I've found some language exchanges for Spanish that have been good, but I need to make a regular habit of these as it's pretty much the only regular way I get speaking practice (although I have a cruise in a few days that goes to multiple parts of Spain). I try not to compare myself to others, but it's difficult. Historically I set high standards for myself and can get annoyed if I don't achieve thrm.
Hi Linde! I want to be like you with languages! What is the app you are using at 4:14 in this video? Also, I think of you and your family and pray for your comfort for the loss of your sweet mama. May the Lord continue to give you peace.
They don't mess around, they engage in the language and take it seriously. Alot of people like the idea of knowing a language, they don't want to learn it though, so they do the bare minimum of 30min a day messing around, doing some duolingo and "shadowing" some youtube-video imagining they will be fluent by the end of the year.
@Ice Then they whine about getting nowhere and "have been studying for 10 years" and can barely string a sentence together, then you find out that they do 20-30min a day tops. Here I am doing 6-8 hrs for a couple of years and they are looking for my sympathy. I hate these lazy energy thieves. Either sh1t or get off the pot.
Hello Lindie! This video turned out to be so helpful to me. I'm a Chilean teacher of English, and I would like to know if I could enable a link to your channel in my portfolio as a recommendation to my students. Keep it up and thanks for all your content! :D
Gotta say that Focusmate which you recommended on Twitter also helped me with this! I use Pomodoro like sessions for language learning and work and it has improved my productivity massively
Can a language learning app be my anchor? I'm trying to practice with apps daily, but I'm not sure if it really works in the long run. On the other hand sometimes, I only have 5-10 minutes and then it's the easiest way...
You know you've been watching too many horror movies when you're trying to listen to Lindie's presentation but all you can focus on is weither or not her reflection in the mirror is going to ... do something different. O_O

It’s a great day when Lindie posts! I hope you are feeling better lately Lindie! Xxx
Love the advice you give. Currently at the moment I am learning Ukrainian and German, I have been keeping a Language Composition journal to study.

Hi! As explained, it's the app I designed which you can find at www.kaards.io

Of course! It really all depends on what works for you, if you find value in it then it is ok
