こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日は続けてPodcastを録音しています。

今回はモチベーションを保つ方法について。
みなさんは、同じモチベーションで続けていることはありますか？

私はありません！笑
モチベーションを持ち続ける、保つのはとてもむずかしいですね。でも、最近よく思うことがるので、そのことについて話します。

モチベーションを保つには、一緒にがんばる人を見つけることが大切だと思います。

最近、私は同じオンライン日本語教師のAkari さんと一緒にPodcastをとりました。68のPodcastで聞けますのでぜひ聞いてください。Instagramから知り合ったAkari さんはとても経験があり、私にとって、とても良い出会いです。仕事やそれ以外の話など、いろんな話ができて、視野が広がります。

また、日本語教師の学校では、私より20歳ほど年上の方々と一緒に日本語を教える為の勉強をしています。人生の先輩たちと話す時間はとても良い刺激があります。私の知らないことをたくさん知っているので、たくさんの発見があります。

同じ目標を持った人たちと会話をすることで、刺激をもらったり、不安を聞いてもらったり。相手の話を聞いて、はげましたり。そうやって協力しながら学習をすると、モチベーションが上がったり、つづいたりします。

日本語の学習を続けたい方は、ぜひ私といろんな話をしましょう！どんなことでもいいので、話し続けることが大切です。

私も英語のレッスンを受け続けています。
簡単には上手くならないですが、やめると、もっと下手になるので、やめずに続けています。

一緒にがんばりましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
