People are motivated to learn Japanese or any second language for any number of reasons, including personal enrichment, better career opportunities, or even meeting new people. However, unlike simpler goals which may only take a week or two to complete, learning a new language takes time and there will be occasional setbacks and failures. So to reach your overall objective of mastering Japanese, you need to learn how to motivate yourself and stay focused on the bigger picture. To do so, it is vital to set specific strategic goals with an action plan. Let’s now take a closer look at how setting goals impacts learning, and be sure to keep reading to learn how to get a free language learning goals list so you can get started today!
Learning the entire Japanese language well enough to carry on full conversations with native speakers is certainly a goal. But with this as your primary objective, there is a long period of time between the time the goal is set and when it can be realistically attained. The problem is that a failure to achieve an objective creates stress that can build until you either reach the learning goal or quit. The solution is to set more realistic strategic learning objectives that are easier to attain but still keep you on track to learning Japanese. Here are some examples of strategic learning objectives that you might set on your way to mastering Japanese:
Study Japanese for 10 Minutes Every Day
Complete 1 Lesson or Chapter Each Week
Learn 20 New Japanese Words Each Week
Complete 1 Lesson or Chapter Each Week
Or Even Learn 1 New Japanese Word Each Day
The key here is that your learning goals and objectives need to be very concise, attainable, and relevant to your overall objective. As long as you can see tangible progress towards your overall goal of learning Japanese, your stress levels will be lower and you are far more likely to succeed.
Specific Learning Goals Help Adjust Your Daily Routine
To learn a new language or virtually any new skill, you will ultimately need to make adjustments to your daily/weekly routine. Simply telling yourself that you want to be able to speak fluent Japanese probably won’t force you to alter your daily or weekly routines. But when your strategic goals include learning a new word each day or a lesson every week, you are forced to alter your schedule to reach the goal or risk certain failure. Although altering your schedule may cause some minor degree of stress at first, the added motivation you get from achieving goals quickly eliminates any initial discomfort. And the more strategic goals you complete each day or week, the faster you can achieve your larger goal of mastering the language.
Helps You Adjust to Inevitable Setbacks and Failures
Inevitably, the key to achieving goals includes learning how to deal with the inevitable setbacks and failures. The great part about setting smaller, attainable strategic learning goals is that you can occasionally miss your objective but quickly make up for it. So if you can’t finish a Japanese lesson one week, it’s entirely possible to either learn the lesson the following week—or even do two lessons the following week to make up for the initial failure. The point is that failing to achieve smaller, strategic learning goals won’t kill your motivation or derail your overall objectives.
