| Peter: Now, Becky, let’s talk language learning fears. |
| Becky: Alright! |
| Peter: What’s first on the list? What are our listeners terrified of? |
| Becky: The first one is... “I’m afraid I’m not good enough to start speaking. I freeze up.” |
| Peter: That’s a really good one. Listeners, do you feel like you’re not good enough to start speaking? |
| Becky: It’s a pretty common fear... or misconception, I think... that most learners have. |
| Peter: Here’s how you overcome it. |
| Becky: Step one - the best way to get good at speaking is to start speaking from day 1. |
| Peter: So if you’re holding yourself back because you think you’re not good enough... |
| Becky: ... well, that’s exactly why you’re not good enough. |
| Peter: You need to open your mouth and start talking! |
| Becky: Now, that’s easier said than done. Listeners, if you’re wondering what to say.... |
| Peter: ...Here’s step two. In our lessons, you get the exact phrases and scripts... |
| Becky: ...for introducing yourself, making small talk, ordering food, expressing opinions, and much more! |
| Peter: So, if you don’t know what to say, the lessons give you the exactly what you need. |
| Becky: Or step three- Learn with your own teacher with our Premium PLUS plan. |
| Peter: That’s right, Becky. Listeners, with Premium PLUS, you learn with your own teacher. |
| Becky: They’ll tell you what to say and how to say it... |
| Peter: ...so you truly learn to speak like a native! Step four- Talk to yourself. |
| Becky: Oh yea, I remember you said you used that yourself to get good. |
| Peter: Yes because sometimes you just don’t have a friend to talk to. |
| Becky: I thought you had like 3 kids, a wife... and so many friends, Peter! |
| Peter: We’re talking language learning, Becky. |
| Becky: Still talking to yourself! Alright! But I think it does work because I tried it after you said that you did it... and it works! |
| Becky: Fear number two is... “I’m afraid I’ll never be fluent” |
| Peter: I used to worry about that one too. |
| Becky: Really? |
| Peter: Well, only as a beginner. I started learning Japanese first and, it’s funny because the longer I kept at it, the better my Japanese became, and the less worried I was about fluency. |
| Becky: So, how can our listeners overcome this? |
| Peter: First, set small, measurable goals. The problem is...fluency is a very big, vague goal. |
| Becky: That’s true. |
| Peter: I mean, what is fluency exactly? There are over a million words in the English language and we use about... Becky? |
| Becky: ...2,000 or so?. |
| Peter: So listeners... |
| Becky: ...focus on small, measurable goals. |
| Peter: Set a goal like... being able to introduce yourself in 5 lines... |
| Becky: ...Or having a 5-minute conversation. |
| Peter: Something you can measure so you know you reached it. |
| Becky: Right, because you can’t measure fluency. It’s a pretty vague goal. |
| Peter: Also, Becky, it’s just a matter of time. Getting good at a language is simply about putting in the time. |
| Becky: Right. Listeners, simply put, the longer you stick with learning a language... the better you get. |
| Peter: And that’s a guarantee. Okay Becky, what’s the third fear? |
| Becky: The third fear is... “I’m afraid that I’m not making any progress.” |
| Peter: If you’re afraid you’re not making progress, there are two things you can do right now. |
| Becky: First, use the dashboard to track your progress. If you need numbers to believe it... |
| Peter: ...our dashboard tracks your progress. Just take a look at the progress reports and stats. |
| Becky: Second, try a harder lesson on the site. It sounds crazy and you might not understand it at first... |
| Peter: ...but you will in minutes. Our lessons come with line-by-line translations... |
| Becky: ...and the lesson hosts explain everything. Then you’ll be making progress... |
| Peter: ...because you now understand something you didn’t minutes ago. |
| Becky: The fourth fear is... “I’m afraid of not understanding anything I hear.” |
| Peter: This is very common. You hear advanced grammar and vocabulary... |
| Becky: ...and it goes completely over your head. That’s my biggest fear, Peter. |
| Peter: To beat this ... if you’re taking an advanced lesson, simply read along. |
| Becky: Reading along with our line-by-line tool is the best way to instantly understand advanced conversations. |
| Peter: The translations and scripts are right in front of you. |
| Becky: Peter, what about in real-life situations? |
| Peter: Great question! For real-life situations, learn useful phrases like “Can you say it more slowly?,” “Can you use simpler words?” or “I don’t understand what that meant.” |
| Becky: There’s nothing wrong with saying that you didn’t understand something. Or with asking for help. |
| Peter: Exactly. And our Survival Phrases lessons cover must-know phrases like this. |
| Becky: So, these are the top 4 fears. But tell us listeners... |
| Peter:... what other language learning fears have you had? |
