Step 24: Make Learning Fun

A lot of learners give up learning simply because they are just not inspired
anymore. It is important to keep things fresh if a learner intends to study long-
term. Rather than sitting in a classroom or reading a book, there are various
computer and smart applications to try. These applications aid in pronunciation
and vocabulary memorization. There are also fun games that engage the learner
in challenges that help them retain the lessons they've learned.

It is easy to burn out when an individual does nothing but rigorous study with a
textbook. It is important to keep language learning a personal and engaging
experience. Finding language partners, going to group events, or going out of
one's way t practice the language. All these ensure that a learner does not fall
into the trap of boredom only to give up. It is a waste not to at least try to mix
things up when hobbies become stale, especially once they've come a long way
to get where they are.
