Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept
It
Do away with vague daydreams, such as “learn Spanish,” by
setting specific end goals within specific time frames and
incorporating new language learning techniques to achieve
concrete results.
T
he most common time of the year, by far, to decide to take on a new
language is of course January 1, as part of a New Year’s resolution.
Generally, the resolution is something along the lines of “Learn Spanish (or
whatever language it may be) within a year.” Unfortunately, many fail
miserably. This is precisely why I recommend you pick a specific target
with a specific deadline for your language learning project. I don’t have
resolutions; I have missions. The word mission even has a sense of urgency
and requires a plan of action beyond what simply promising yourself ever
could. Having watched probably too many action movies and TV shows
while growing up, I like to add a little drama to otherwise mundane tasks,
and the concept of a mission to be completed against a ticking clock makes
it seem much more exciting.
This brings us to the title of this book: Fluent in 3 Months. The point is
not that you have to aim for fluency in three months, but that you do need to
be specific about what you’re aiming for, and this title is one such example
of a very specific target and a deadline to reach it by. Successful language
learners are those who are as specific as possible with their goals.
To help you gauge what to aim for, I’ll dive into what fluency and other
useful targets really mean, and we’ll look at how much time you need to
reach those targets. Plus, I’ll explain why “Fluent in 3 Months” has been a
great goal for me personally and why fluency—and beyond—is a goal more
of us can strive for.
