How to Learn a Language

In this episode, I share how I design Language Life to help you overcome common language learning pitfalls like not knowing what to focus on, losing motivation when progress slows, and lacking confidence to use the language. I explain how the program unlocks content gradually, offers one-on-one support, monthly feedback, and bonus workshops like the Speak 28 by 28 challenge and Trust Your Language Gut experience to keep you motivated and confident. I also emphasize the importance of gentle accountability and fitting language learning into your life over 12 months. If you want to make your language journey smoother and more rewarding, this episode is for you.---**GET STARTED FOR FREE**🎁 Free Video Training - How to Finally Learn That Language: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/freevideo 🎁 Free Ultimate Language Resource List: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/list---**WORK WITH LINDSAY**💛 Language Life - Speak fearlessly, trust your language gut & master your process: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/ll💬 Speak 28x28 Challenge - 4 weeks to speaking confidence.

In this episode, I talk about perfectionism in language learning and how it creates unnecessary pressure that often leads to overwhelm and quitting. I share why redefining success on your own terms and practicing self-compassion can make your language journey more sustainable and enjoyable. I also invite you to join Grace in Space, a supportive event happening from September 25th to 28th, where you can get personalized coaching and connect with others.

In this episode, I’m sharing one type of person Grace and Space is for - busy language learners struggling to stay motivated consistently. I talk about why losing motivation is normal and not a failure, how motivation ebbs and flows, and the importance of small restarts to build momentum. I also explain the three F’s of motivation: fun, flexible, and functional, and invite you to join the upcoming Grace and Space event for deeper support on motivation and language learning.---**GRACE & SPACE TICKETS**🥰 Grace & Space tickets: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/graceandspace **GET STARTED FOR FREE**🎁 Free Video Training - How to Finally Learn That Language: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/freevideo 🎁 Free Ultimate Language Resource List: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/list---**WORK WITH LINDSAY**💛 Language Life - Speak fearlessly, trust your language gut & master your process: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/ll💬 Speak 28x28 Challenge - 4 weeks to speaking confidence.

This episode is for language learners stuck in the comparison trap. I share why comparing yourself to others is inevitable but unhelpful and how to shift your focus to your own progress. I explain why direct comparison rarely helps because our goals and circumstances differ and how joining diverse language communities like Grace and Space can reduce comparison pressure. I also highlight the value of community over isolation and introduce co-study sessions designed to boost motivation without competition. If you struggle with comparison, this episode and the upcoming Grace and Space event from September 25-28th are for you.---**GRACE & SPACE TICKETS**🥰 Grace & Space tickets: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/graceandspace **GET STARTED FOR FREE**🎁 Free Video Training - How to Finally Learn That Language: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/freevideo 🎁 Free Ultimate Language Resource List: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/list---**WORK WITH LINDSAY**💛 Language Life - Speak fearlessly, trust your language gut & master your process: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/ll💬 Speak 28x28 Challenge - 4 weeks to speaking confidence.

Do you think you're too old to learn a language or worry you’ve missed the boat? I’m Lindsay, and in this episode, I share why age doesn’t have to limit your language learning. We explore the advantages children have, the challenges they face, and how adults can leverage their own strengths like analytical skills and intentional immersion to learn languages better. I also introduce the idea of setting mistake goals to overcome fear and perfectionism.
