But then…
After only a short time of studying, you feel confused and discouraged; you find English difficult and do not want to continue to achieve your goals. This is not only your story but also the “confession” of many students.

Learning English is not difficult.
Increase motivation
There is no path to success that is paved with roses. To achieve success, you must accept to overcome difficulties and challenges. The same goes for learning English. If you are determined, create and maintain the motivation to learn English every day. to always feel full of excitement and passion
According to Nick Winter - author of the book The Motivation Hacker - Mastering motivation , the most important problem we need to face in completing goals is not productivity or time management but managing our own motivation. So, what should we do to increase motivation to learn English?
To increase your motivation to learn English you need:
-Always promote confidence in your own abilities.
-Increase the value of the successes you achieve if you complete your goals.
- Eliminate all distractions from the learning process.
- Say no to procrastination by planning and breaking down your English learning goals into short-term goals that you can accomplish immediately and see definite results.
“ Secret” to maintaining excitement
Creating motivation and determination to study is difficult, maintaining motivation is even more difficult. Based on my teaching experience, I can give you some suggestions to maintain your enthusiasm and motivation to study English as follows:
Firstly, you need to have positive thoughts about English to have complete confidence in yourself. When you still have wrong thoughts about learning English, you will always feel that English is too difficult, too complicated and easily lose motivation to learn English.

Dai Nam University's Faculty of Foreign Languages is one of the prestigious and quality English training institutions trusted and highly appreciated by learners.
According to the International Journal on English Language and Literature, the fear of speaking English is the barrier that prevents you from being confident enough to use a foreign language. Therefore, you need to overcome your shyness to speak English whenever possible, courageously seek opportunities to speak English, and actively practice English anytime, anywhere.
Second, find someone who has conquered English as a role model for yourself. If you see someone with similar circumstances achieving something, a strong belief will urge you that “ I can achieve the same result !”
Third, ask someone to check in and encourage you: With this third way, you have more support from others. Find a relative (friend, teacher, ...), someone you can trust and always ready to support you.
Fourth, “write a diary every day about your progress in learning English” and review the diary at the end of each week to have more motivation to study and fight. Every time you learn something new, write it down. ANYTHING! As long as it is related to learning English, write it down. This takes you less than 5 minutes/day. But no matter what, always remember: 80% of success in learning English comes from yourself. As long as you have a strong spirit of improvement and the determination to be good at English, you will achieve more success in life.
Fifth, make the first change in your life. Deciding to learn English requires certain changes in your life. For example, you decide to spend 30 minutes a day reading an English book and you try to maintain that. Of course, it will be really difficult to make a small but long-term change in your life, especially when learning English seems to you less enjoyable than entertainment or exercise. But you should remember that learning English for 15 minutes a day will bring you much better results than studying only 1 day a month.
Therefore, you should practice an effective English learning habit so that you feel interested in this foreign language!
