one thing i love about lindie’s videos is that she isn’t afraid to tell us she does some things late or when she has a bad week of studying! there’s so much pressure with language learning to do something EVERY day. I always try my best to actively study every day but we all have off days. i love her realistic, “life happens” approach :)

it was very comforting to see "did nothing" on your calendar... nice to know im not the only one haha

Lindie: "there are people who have excel spreadsheets where they log exactly how many minutes they spent on language learning..." Me, currently updating my excel spreadsheet after reviewing Japanese for 33 minutes: 😇

I do this as well lol. For the last year I know exactly how much I have been studying every day.

I also generally don't keep track of time spent studying, especially down to the minute. I've found that focusing on quantity over quality is generally a bad idea, and this is no exception. Some people may find the numbers motivating, and those people can do what works for them, but for me, it's always just either stressed me out, made me feel like I'm not doing enough, or distracted me away from what's actually important, which is my progress in the language.

omg ... Same feelings as yours ... When I use a calendar to plan my, say, weekly study time, I get nervous very easily. What happens if I have health problems and one day is missing from my calendar? What if I'm just having a bad day and doing nothing? Tracking the progress of my language learning is very stressful for me. It seems to me that it is better to count how many chapters the book we use has and divide it into the number of days in a month. Knowing that I will finish the textbook in, for example, a month and having a planned trip, I can do two lessons in one day to maintain the learning rhythm.

But whenever I can, I study a little bit of mandarin and korean (beginner), without much effort, just to keep going.

Dear Lindie, if you wish to share, it would be fascinating to see how your language skills and career complement each other. There are many excellent videos on learning languages (such as yours), but fewer on how language skills are integrated into everyday life - which helps to improve and maintain your language level.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you so much for this video. It took me winning a Korean Speaking Contest to realize that I've actually gone from beginner to intermediate. This is going to help me measure my progress as I go, from now on. Thank you always, Lindie!❤️❤️

I have never tracked my progress with language learning, and it's definitely held me back, I think. I studied Japanese for years, got to a pretty advanced level, but then quit rather suddenly to focus on other languages. Now I can barely speak it or read it. I think that if I had kept track of my progress, it would have helped to be able to go back and look at all the work I did. I am currently trying to achieve fluency in Spanish, and have also started studying Swedish. I better start tracking my progress, especially if I plan on learning more and more languages my entire life! 😭

I don't buy your story that you forgot after getting to a pretty advanced level. You can simply revive the language with little to no effort. My bet would be that you didn't cross the input stage and quit ( Input = Understanding media without subs ).

Learning language is fun for me. When it stops being fun, I back off for a break, but won’t let myself quit completely. That ensures I return and continue enjoying the process. I also keep the pressure on myself at a minimum by reminding myself I have an entire lifetime to learn this. A little grace for ourself is good.

Oh wow! You're learning Tagalog/Filipino language. I'm from the Philippines and currently studying Korean. So happy to know that there are still people like you who wanted to know/learn our language (Tagalog). 😊😊

Filipino subscriber here! Rooting for your TAGALOG study journey Lindie! 화이팅! ❤️✌️

100% agreed, tracking is a great tool for any positive habit you're trying to develop. Even something as simple as putting a checkmark on your calendar might seem trivial, but it really helps keep the habit going. It motivates me on bad days to put in at least 5 minutes just to avoid the blank days of shame! It makes your progress feel more concrete. Without tracking, your effort just sort of disappears into the ether and is forgotten about.

Your videos really help me to stay motivated :)) Thank you Lindie! Have a nice day and stay healthy and happy!

Thank you Lindie, this video has really helped me out! For the longest time I have been trying to figure out the best way to track my progress in Spanish and I finally have a way to do it :)

I think I have the opposite problem from most people. I'd like to track my language learning to see what I need to work on, however I always forget to write down that I read a book, studied, watched a movie etc. and when I take a look at my language journal, it's almost empty. It looks like I don't study at all even though that's clearly not the case. Today I finished a Korean lesson in an app, I read an article in English, I had a conversation in my native language (Czech), I had a German italki lesson, I read an e-book comparison in German, I watched youtube videos in English, Korean and Spanish for about an hour and I wrote a few comments as well... and it's just 11 AM. I'm gonna watch series on Netflix and read a lot for the rest of the day because it's my day off. Except the italki lesson none of this feels like something worth writing down because it's just what I do every day for fun without even thinking about it or planning it.

Thanks, I always lose motivation because I feel like I'm not moving forward and I think this will help me a lot 💖

Loved this video!! I definitely feel inspired to start tracking my study habits now. I've been slacking now that a new school semester has started, but I think incorporating it into my bullet journal and visually seeing how often I push myself to study will help a lot :) Will definitely start writing diary entries in other languages too (or in English and then translating haha). I grew up in a Viet speaking household and seeing you study it has motivated me to not only start learning new languages but also work on my fluency in my second and third languages

Untill now I'm not interested about tracking my progress down writing them on a notebook or something else. Only because I usually spend my study time focused on the language. Surely I believe that be aware of own progress help to move forward and motivate yourself. Infact a couple of day ago I found an old note on which I wrote the words I wonted to memorize. At that time unknowns for me. Cheerfully I noticed today I know almost the whole of them. And this is the proof of my forward steps. This was a small reward for my mind.

I love your videos, you have such good energy! You've inspired me today to start my own language learning journal seriously, I'm a native Spanish speaker and I learned English years ago but never took it seriously, and then learned some basic french and stopped. As of today, I will start practicing my English again, will return to french as well, and keep track of my progress. In fact, I will track my progress in every aspect of my life; as you put it out, I believe that I will give me some clarity and motivation to pursue my goals. Thank you so much!

You're so organized, I dig it

Thanks Miss. Your videos is really useful for us. I'm a non native English speaker. I live in Indonesia, I speak Indonesian. I'm a student of English education at college. And I've been learning English for almost 2 years. But start studying it seriously for a year. I've always wanted to get fluency in English. Even sometimes I get confused while understanding the English spoken or written in any sources. I remembered when I was in the first time learning English, everything was really confusing and I couldn't able to speak at all. But you see now I can a little bit write a comment in English though, that'd mean my English is quite better now. However, mostly people will think their English or any target languages isn't improving at all but I disagree with that, cause every small things and small tracks will make something bigger unexpectedly. So we just don't realize that..

This was so helpful💕

My studying is so disorganized I've never been able to track it. But my new goal for Korean is to read 92 books. So I'm keeping track of each book I read. So far Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone read, working on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

0:50 I agree with you. Some of my students who are fast learners do this! Well but I'm embarrassed cuz I haven't been doing this as a Japanese learners 🤥 I gotta start right now!

Hey Lindie! Thanks for your update and your pieces of advice. What I do to track my productivity actually rather than progress is a weekly tracking journal. For instance, I want to train my listening in Spanish so I have a little calendar of the month in my journal where I add check marks on all days when I watched something. And because I decided to do it three times a week, whenever I see that a week is ending and I only have two check marks, I add Spanish listening to my to-do list so I don't forget to do it and accomplish my goal for the week! And I have the same for some other tasks such as learn new vocabulary, use some specific apps, and get a unit in the textbook done.

I just write down phrases in google translate and then reading them with translate and it really work. I reading phrase first in my mother tongue and then reading same phrase in my target language. It's easy way to learn languages. I feeling progress every day when I reading 200 phrases 5 times. It take at me about 3 hours per day to write down phrases and then read them. But I started use this method only ten days ago and for this ten days I made good progress because 1000 phases contain about 2.000 or 3.000 different words. Before I learn English wrong way and I had slow progress, but now I found for myself the best way to learn languages and I intend use this method during next 3 or 4 months to learn 6.000 words. Anyway this just my experience. Most main thing in that it's easy way to learn languages. You just reading phrases and all. Key in that you first reading phrase in your mother tongue and therefore you understand meaning all words from phrase. You reading foreign phrase like your native. I think that is really cool. Maybe this information will be useful someone. You can start since short phrases like "I'm going along the road" to understand each words and then you can cross to more long and difficult phrases like "I decided to go to abroad to see the world" or some else like that. It's really easy way because you haven't stress and tense and you can do it relax, especially if you like reading. Such way. For example 5 month ago I can't speak English at all. But that five month I read phrases without translate, look in translate only when misunderstand some kind of words. But now I relaise that when you reading phrases in two language in time these languages connect with each other and you starting understand foreign language. Anyway it's just my experience in English.

I like using a time tracker (I start the timer before opening up a study app on the train or something) simply because at the end of the week I can check back at what I was studying in order to notate it on my calendar (it encourages me to see on my calendar that I've done something, especially when I often forget when I have or haven't studied in a while), and then at the end of the month I can see a pie chart of what I was focusing on most, and decide if I want to change up how much of a certain thing I focus on. Also I like to have sit-down study time set to Pomodoros.

I've now been on Busuu for the last hour! Thanks! I use Rosetta Stone (which I loved) so this is a great supplement for when I finish a language or need an extra boost! Awesome and thank you

Little tip in Tagalog, mga usually always have either ng, ang or yung before it So, when you say: I like to read books. It’s not: Gusto kong magbasa mga libro. It has to be: Gusto kong magbasa ng mga libro. One quirky thing though is never switch ang/yung and ng, they should always match the verb Nagbasa ako ng mga libro Vs. Binasa ko ang mga libro The first sentence gives emphasis on you therefore you use ng to refer to the book While the second emphasizes the book which means you use ang, and the verb congugations also have to match up 1st: I read books 2nd: I read the books/ The books were read by myself

I like the idea of writing down one's successes - thanks!

Thank you so much for this! Your tagalog is very good too

Thanks for all the inspiration

I really love your contents! It's always worth to watch! Thank you for keeping us motivated and good luck with your Tagalog!

Your Tagalog skill is actually very good and looks like a native. It's very understandable that it's hard. Maybe because of the different conjugations that has the same meaning in English but has different nuances and usages. Keep up the good work.

I have gold list notebook, an everything notebook (where I write anything and everything in the target langauge which is European Portuguese at the moment) where I also list the daily hours I spend on the language listening, reading, etc, and I have a spread sheet for verbs and conjugations for whenever I feel like looking at it but I don't really look at it daily, and I have a gold list calendar spread sheet I like all the notebooks so that helps me. I'm 2 months into this and I'm still enjoying myself so far.

I date all of the notes I take, I make videos and upload them to my KZread channel to document my progress and I have a couple different Instagram accounts for different languages I learn where I post things I learn. I recently started sharing my language journey on Twitter.

Woaaaah a lot of languages to learn.. while I'm here, still an english tomatoooo

I need to find a bookshelf this great 😭

Wow you’re also learning Tagalog. Galing!

Wow im happy she is interested in tagalog language .....im from Philippines

Thanks for the tips! I'm currently learning german and trying to enhance my english too. i'm actually making a plan on how to track my progess. So this literally helped me a lot! Btw i would like to correct your tagalog sentences (3:38). I hope it is ok for you. "Natuto / Nag aral ng tagalog ngayong araw sa kapehan. Gusto kong magbasa ng mga libro. Nagbabasa ako ngayon ng libro sa Starbucks habang umiinom ako ng tsaa."

Hey! I'm hungarian, thank you for learning our language :) It's pretty difficult, but good luck, you got this!

I'm really curious on why Tagalog is the hardest for you. Great job on your sentences, though! There were some mistakes, but it was understandable! You can do it Ate! 👏😁

I should probably start keeping a line-a-day journal in Swedish. It's hard for me to keep track of the time I spend learning Swedish because I go back and forth between Swedish and English all day. I have gotten in the habit of doing Drop with my morning coffee and during the day I do either Memrise or Clozemaster. Throughout the day, I listen to videos in Swedish with or without subtitles, mixed with English videos. I like reading the Swedish comments, too. I go on r/ svenska, r/ languagelearning, and lurk on r/sweden to practice reading, and journaly.com is good for practice too, when I remember. Every day, I probably get several hours of passive language exposeure, but very little output. I've only been studying for just over two months though, so it will come.

i would love to see how you structure your studies for tagalog!!
