Specific

Measurable

Attainable

Relevant

TIME-BOUND

When you target the wrong goals..

Let’s look at how these apply to language learning.

Specific

Goals must be clear and not too broad or vague. “Be able to speak German” might sound like a good goal, but what does that actually mean? Holding a basic 10 minute conversation is speaking German, having an depth academic discussion about global warming in German is something else entirely.

Poor goal

Becoming fluent in German

Better goals

To be able to talk to someone on a specific subject.

To pass a certain test.

To have a vocabulary of 2000 words.

Each of these smaller, more specific goals, put you further along the path to fluency but are far more tangible and attainable.

Measurable

To stay motivated and see your progress you need to know when you have achieved your goals. To do this they must be measurable in some way.

Some people might find that setting a time target (study for 15 minutes a day) works better for them than a results target (learn 15 words a day). Use what works best for you.

Poor goal
Improve your vocabulary.

Better goals

Learn 5 new words a day.

Spend 20 minutes a day learning new words.

Attainable

Setting goals that are too difficult will kill your motivation.

It’s good to push yourself a little, but you must realistically be able to reach your goals otherwise you’ll just feel defeated and lose interest.

Regularly hitting small milestones is the key to eventually conquering the language marathon.
