| Chigusa: Okay, let’s talk language learning fears. |
| Peter: What’s on the list? |
| Chigusa: The first one is... “I’m afraid I’m not good enough to speak. I freeze up.” |
| Peter: Listeners, do you feel like you’re not good enough to speak yet? |
| Chigusa: It’s a pretty common fear... that learners have. |
| Peter: Well, here’s how you overcome it. |
| Chigusa: Step one - the best way to get good at speaking is to speak from day 1. |
| Peter: So if you’re holding yourself back... |
| Chigusa: ...because you think you’re not good enough... that you’re making a mistake. |
| Peter: That’s exactly why you’re not improving. |
| Chigusa: You need to open your mouth and start talking! But if you’re wondering what to say... |
| Peter: Here’s step two. In our lessons, you get the exact phrases and scripts for introducing yourself... |
| Chigusa: ...making small talk, ordering food, expressing opinions, and much more! |
| Peter: So, if you don’t know what to say, the lessons will give you the exact lines and conversations. |
| Chigusa: Or step three: Learn with your own teacher with our Premium PLUS plan. |
| Peter: Listeners, with Premium PLUS, you get an actual native-speaking teacher to tell you what to say... |
| Chigusa: ...how to say it... |
| Peter: ...so you truly do learn to speak with the help of a real native teacher. |
| Chigusa: Fear number two is... “I’m afraid I’ll never be fluent” Oh, I felt this one. |
| Peter: Me too. I used to worry about this one too. |
| Chigusa: Really? |
| Peter: Only as a beginner. Listeners, once you start improving and seeing progress... this goes away. |
| Chigusa: Did you feel it when you were learning Japanese? |
| Peter: Many years ago, Chigusa. I questioned myself. I questioned the books I was using. I wondered if I was learning the right way. |
| Chigusa: And then? |
| Peter: Well, It’s funny because the longer I kept at it, the better my Japanese got. And, I stopped worrying about fluency. So, it’s just a matter of putting in time and sticking with it. |
| Chigusa: So, how can our listeners overcome this? How did you stick with it? |
| Peter: First, set small, specific goals. Fluency is a very big, vague goal. |
| Chigusa: That’s very true. |
| Peter: Chigusa, what is fluency? There are over one million words in the English language and we use about 2,000. |
| Chigusa: So listeners, you should focus on smaller goals. |
| Peter: For example set a goal like... being able to introduce yourself or having a 5-minute conversation. Something you can measure so you know you reached it. |
| Chigusa: Because you can’t really measure fluency. It’s a pretty vague goal, as Peter said. |
| Peter: And Chigusa, at the end of the day, it’s just a matter of time. Getting good at a language simply is an equation of time put in. |
| Chigusa: Listeners, simply put, the longer you stick with learning a language... the better you get. |
| Peter: And that’s a guarantee. Okay Chigusa, what’s the third fear? |
| Chigusa: The third fear is... “I’m afraid I’m not actually learning or making progress.” |
| Peter: If you’re afraid you’re not making progress, there are 4 things you can do right now. |
| Chigusa: First, review. Most people make this mistake. They hear a new phrase... |
| Peter: ...and they think hearing it once was enough. So, when they forget what they’ve learned... |
| Chigusa: ..they get worried that they’re not learning. Or that the lessons don’t work. |
| Peter: But the truth is... You have to review again and again to truly master something. |
| Chigusa: Second, use the dashboard to track your progress. If you need numbers to believe it... |
| Peter: ...our dashboard tracks your progress and gives you dynamic reports. |
| Chigusa: Third, try a harder lesson on the site. Now, you won’t understand it at first... |
| Peter: ...but you will in minutes. Our lessons come with line-by-line translations... |
| Chigusa: ...and our teachers explain every single word. THEN, you’ll be making progress... |
| Peter: ...because you now understand something you didn’t minutes ago. |
| Chigusa: Fourth... learn 1-on-1 with a teacher.... |
| Peter: ...which you can do with our Premium PLUS plan. |
| Chigusa: They will personally review your writing, your speaking and fix your mistakes... |
| Peter: ...and make sure that you’re improving. Actually, getting feedback from a native speaker... |
| Chigusa: ...that’s the BEST way to know if you’re making progress. |
| Peter: There’s nothing better than a native speaker telling you “wow, you’re getting good.” |
| Chigusa: The fourth fear is... “I’m afraid of not understanding anything I hear.” |
| Peter: This is very common. You hear advanced grammar and vocabulary... |
| Chigusa:... and it goes completely over your head. You have no idea what you’ve just heard. |
| Peter: To beat this ... if you’re taking an advanced lesson, read along. Reading along with our line-by-line dialogue is the best way to instantly understand advanced conversations. |
| Chigusa: What about in real-life situations? |
| Peter: For real-life situations, learn useful phrases like “excuse me, can you say it slower?,” or “can you say it in simpler words?” or even “I don’t understand.” |
| Chigusa: There’s nothing wrong with saying that you didn’t understand. Or asking for help. |
| Peter: You know, Chigusa, when I first started learning a language, I used to fake it a lot. I didn’t want them to stop speaking so I would say that I understood something that I didn’t. |
| Chigusa: I do that too. |
| Peter: And that’s not the best way to learn. |
| Chigusa: Yeah, I sometimes get caught in the mistake as well so... that’s embarrassing. These are the top 4 fears. But tell us listeners... |
