Have to persist, we have to be consistent.

Habits, I often talk about them, are something very powerful. You don't have to force yourself, push yourself or even think about brushing your teeth or getting dressed before going out. You do it because it's a habit, you do it without thinking. You have to try to make your French practice the same thing, it's a habit or something you do without having to think.

A little tip for setting up a habit is to attach it to an existing habit. I call it a trigger. You already have habits, we were talking about brushing your teeth just before. You can say: "Every day, just after brushing my teeth, I'm going to read an article in French" for example. You attach a new habit that you want to set up to an existing habit.

There are many other examples. You can read an article or read a book while having breakfast. You can speak French to yourself in the shower. You can attach the new habit to a habit already in place.

Start small. I was telling you earlier, if you can do 20 or 30 minutes, that's better, but start small, really start with 10 minutes that are active. It's very important that you are very focused and that you do this thing, this activity, in an active and focused way. I really advise you to test what works for you. I have worked a lot over the last 10 years on establishing habits, I know what works, I know what doesn't work. Starting small is something that is very important for it to work.

Another important thing is to think about pleasure. indonesia whatsapp number data Do things that you enjoy. If you force yourself, it's not going to work. You're going to do it once, twice, three times, maybe two weeks, and then you're going to give up because you need pleasure to do something repeatedly.

Habits are something very powerful and they are most likely the thing that will make you succeed in speaking French. The thing is, it has to be regular. In the definition of habit, it is something that we do repeatedly, so we

Really try to see it as a challenge and tell yourself: "If others can do it, I can do it too. And my goal, my challenge, is not yet to speak French perfectly. My challenge is to establish the habit of working at least 10 minutes a day." And I'm sure you can meet this challenge.

Before we conclude, let's talk about results, because to stay motivated, we need to see results. It is possible, it is even very likely that you will not see real results in 10 minutes. 10 minutes of practice, one day will not bring you great results. It makes sense.

The idea is to be satisfied with small improvements. This is what I was talking about with the kaizen spirit, earlier, and in the famous video that I already published on the subject, on the kaizen spirit. We will put the link at the bottom and in the "i" as info. The idea is to be satisfied with small improvements, with results that are almost imperceptible but which are very regular.
