Hi there! I’m back with tip #3 on how to stay motivated when learning English, and this is a big one – it is:
Don’t Take Mistakes So Seriously/Personally
MISTAKES – they have the power to make you afraid to use your English… they can also make you feel humiliated when someone corrects you… they represent your failure to know the rules of English… right?
WRONG!
Mistakes only have all that power if you allow them to have such power. Remember that making mistakes does NOT mean you are stupid. Choose to view mistakes as an opportunity to learn, not a disaster!
