Chigusa: ...or you might think “5 minutes? Shouldn’t I be doing more?”

Chigusa: Alright, Peter, so first - what is the 5 minute rule?
Peter: Well, actually, Chigusa, it’s a rule I came up with...a while ago... while I was watching, ready? Ready for it? YouTube.
Chigusa: Oh? I love YouTube. What were you watching?
Peter: To be honest, I don’t remember, but I was wasting time, so it wasn’t important what I was watching...but it was 5 minutes long!
Chigusa: You could put that time to better use, Peter.
Peter: And that’s what I thought, Chigusa. So, if you have 5 minutes for a YouTube video, 5 minutes for a game on your phone.
Chigusa: ...then you have at least 5 minutes to spend on language learning.
Peter: You got it. So, listeners, the rule is: you only need 5 minutes a day to start learning a language.
Chigusa: Peter, but why 5 minutes? What’s so special about this number?
Peter: Here’s what makes it so powerful. First, it makes learning easy. Imagine this.
Chigusa: Okay, I’m imagining.
Peter: It’s Monday morning. You get up. You go to work. End work around 5 or 6. Come home. Eat dinner. Finish by 7:30, and you remember that you have to spend a few HOURS learning at night.
Chigusa: ...Ah.... yeah I’ll probably start thinking “I don’t have that kind of time...”
Peter: Chigusa, when you wake up and you plan out your day, you might even ll be dreading that study time at night and if your mindset becomes like that ...you won’t enjoy learning.
Chigusa: Very true.
Peter: And even if you put in 2 hours, you’d probably be so tired.
Chigusa: Yeah, if I wasn’t used to it, I think I’d get burned out real quick.
Peter: But with this rule, you only have to put in 5 minutes a day. That’s it.
Chigusa: And when the 5 minutes are up?
Peter: You’re done. It lifts that heavy burden.
Chigusa: You don’t have to worry about it.
Peter: Second, it makes learning easy to continue. If you can do it in just 5 minutes...
Chigusa: ...you can do it tomorrow, the next day, the day after that..
Peter: So, this gives you a successful routine.
Chigusa: Now, you can actually stick with mastering the language... in the long term.
Peter: And third, you can easily upgrade your routine.
Chigusa: Yeah, eventually, you’ll realize that 5 minutes is too easy... and you can do more.
Peter: Before you know it, you’ll be putting in 7, 10 or 15 minutes a day.
Chigusa: ....and you’re now speaking a lot of more of the language.
Peter: Alright, now... here’s how you apply this 5 minute rule.
Chigusa: Listeners, the first thing you should do is... take out your phone, open up the clock application..
Peter ...and set the timer to 5 minutes.
Chigusa: And also... decide when and where you’ll put in the 5 minutes.
Peter: In my case, I do it on the train while going to work. So, every day at 9AM on the train.
Chigusa: Then, start learning with our audio and video lessons.
Peter: They’re anywhere from 3 to 15 minutes in length... so you can easily spend 5 minutes on a lesson.
Chigusa: You can also review the vocabulary and phrase lists, review the word of the day...
Peter: ...or drill words with flashcards for 5 minutes.
Chigusa: Just set aside the time and stick with it until the 5 minutes are up.
Peter: By adding that 5-minute limit, learning becomes much easier...
Chigusa: Yes, you don’t have to stress about spending hours...
Peter: ...and you don’t have to stress about “HOW” to learn. Just play a lesson.
Chigusa: And that’s it! And listeners, remember...
