Devi avere un obiettivo linguistico specifico da raggiungere in un periodo determinato, ma l'obiettivo deve essere specifico e realizzabile.

In 6 mesi puoi cominciare a comunicare in una lingua, anche abbastanza bene, questo sì è possibile. 

Ma avere come obiettivo imparare una lingua in 6 mesi è pericoloso per la tua autostima, molto probabilmente non riuscirai a farlo e al sesto mese penserai di avere un problema, penserai di essere stupido/a.


Imparare una lingua è un po' come avere una corretta alimentazione e fare sport. 

Il consiglio di un mio amico personal trainer è valido anche per l'apprendimento linguistico: vuoi migliorare la tua situazione psico fisica per sempre e per tutta la vita? Devi fare sport per tutta la vita... 
La stessa cosa si può dire per l'apprendimento linguistico!

最近、スマホを見ている時間が長くなっていませんか？
日本人の成人１０００人に対する調査で約５０％の参加者がスマホ依存症になっていて、本人がそのことに気づいていないという結果が出ました。
私もレッスンのリクエストが来ているかどうかを確認するために、よくスマホを見ています。ポッドキャストを投稿した直後もどれぐらいの人が聞いているのかが気になって、スマホを見てしまいます。
私もスマホ依存症になっていると言っても過言ではないです。

このスマホ依存症の問題はリラックスする時間が減ったり、勉強や他のことに集中できなくなることだと思います。
なので、たまにはスマホの電源をしばらく切ったり、スマホを家に置いて外出したりして、”デジタルデトックス”をした方がいいかもしれません。
スマホを置いて散歩に行くと、春が来たことをもっと実感できるかもしれませんね。
