How Serious Are You About Learning Spanish ?

The questions you should ask your self are : How serious am I about learning Spanish? answer it. Next question, the most important one, the answer will determine if you will learn or not. The question is WHY DO I WANT TO LEARN SPANISH? Think about this, everything you do in your life is for a reason, sometime you succeed sometime you don't.When you don't succeed is because the answers to the WHY weren't strong enough.

When you see a baby learning to walk, falling down at almost every steep, hurting him self, the baby is not concious about this of course but he has more then enough strong answer WHY he should learn to walk, even if it is not simple for him at this time. So what you should get, is more than enough strong answer to the question WHY do I want to learn Spanish? and feel the answer, don't just answer that question like you don't care feel it and be passionate about it, and like the baby you will not allow your self to quit.

Now you are motivated to learn Spanish, you found all the strong answers you need to stimulate you, if not, find some more and write them down.

Next step we need a plan to make this work.

Set your goals. Always phrase your goal in the positive, this help the subconscious mind to target the goals you are pursuing. Specify your goal in as much detail as you can. You are not just learning Spanish. You are learning Spanish so you can communicate effectively with locals by a certain date. Or perhaps, to pass a particular exam with an A grade. Visualize yourself attaining the goal. How does it feel to have effortless conversation with an interesting local person? Will you frame that examination certificate? Imagine it in a gold frame. Again, you are programming your mind with subconscious instructions. Write it in the present tense - "I am enjoying effortless conversation in Spanish by Summer 200x." Is your goal big enough? or just a little mouse of a goal? Think big. Write that goal down. A 6x4" index card is ideal for this. Motivational guru Gene Donohue said that "The difference between a goal and a dream is the written word."

Avoid sharing your goals with others as any negative influences will harm your positive self talk. Of course, if someone is on the critical path to you achieving your goal then you must bring that person into your confidence. Review and revisit your goal first thing every morning and last thing every night to get your conscious and subconscious thinking aligned. Live the goal each time, using all the senses. Hear the language, smell the flowers, feel the handshake and imagine the taste of the food. Just follow these simple instructions and you will learn Spanish in no time.
