Step 6: Adhere to a Strict Study Schedule

Learning a language requires constant repetition and consistent investment. In
learning a new language, one must also learn how to set up a routine and keep to
it. Allowing one's self to observe a strict study schedule will speed up and
enhance the quality of the learning process. But it isn't as simple as just allotting
one hour a day to study vocabulary and grammar. The learner should take into
account the intensity of study as opposed to just the length of study.

These pockets of time in which one will devote to reviewing the language must
be all-consuming and dynamic. It demands deep focus and effort from the
learner. Rather than spending an hour a day doing light reviews of past lessons,
consider four hours of daily rigorous study. Opt out of daily half-baked study
sessions over the course of several years. Consistent thorough studying over the
course of several weeks will yield better results in a shorter span of time.
